I found this beauty at HomeGoods today while I was with my youngest daughter. Have been looking for one for her room for awhile now. I saw this lantern a few days ago, but didn't buy it because she rarely likes anything I bring home for her room. Seems like she has been fighting me tooth & nail even after she told me what style she wanted. Today we stopped off at HomeGoods & were looking at lanterns & I said "I like this one, but the handle is too big". She said that she liked it, so we took it home. I brought it up to her room & placed it next to the shutter mirror we purchased a week or so back, but the lantern looked a little plain.
So, I went for a walk .... and found some moss in the woods behind our house.
Then, I remembered I had put some little birds nests in the garage sale room in the basement. I also dug through my craft boxes in my office & found some lavender & seed pods I had grown back in my previous house in California.
Here's the finished product! I made the eggs from some clay I had.
So that was my little project today. It was fun making it.
Thanks for stopping by,
Pam

That is so cute! It all looks so pretty together!
That is so cute! I have not done anything like that, but I should try. Thanks for stopping by! I dug up all my Forsythia at my mom's and have about 20 plants. It spreads pretty well. Some of mine has been here for 80-90 years. I do love it. Thanks for stopping by!!
Cute! I'm all into bird nests lately.
You have an entire room for garage sale storage?! Love the lantern, and the fact that you made the eggs.
Hope you & the girls have a wonderful trip to California!
Very pretty! I like all the natural elements that you chose to add. The colors of the moss and lavendar go so nicely together!
it is simply amazing!!
