This time of year has such a unique feel. It is frozen outside yet there is a faint hope of spring stirring. Birds have started to return and the smallest of buds have started to show. The word snowbirds kept creeping into my head and though I searched I could not find just the right thing to create with so I made it myself.
Starting with a bit of cold porcelain (you can find lots of recipes through a google search). I first formed a ball.
Then Shaped a head, tail and beak.
Then made a hole in the center, let it dry...
and ta da...
A snow bird!
A little bit of spring and a little bit of winter.

Love your gorgeous tablescape. The soft colors are just wonderful and the lace tablecloth is stunning. Your napkin rings are wonder and so are the roses. What a fabulous idea. Love all the serving pieces. Just so lovely. Hugs, Marty
Well, I lost my comment..but..what I wanted to say was that your napkin rings made from cold porceline are lovely as are the roses. I think candles are my favorite thing on any table and the way you have yours place on a little raised platform is nice. So cozy!
I am playing catch up today.. :)
I love your blog and love your ideas. I appreciate you sharing your ideas.
love and hugs,

Great custom napkin rings! What a neat idea. Your table for winter looks like a wonderful spot to be on a chilled winter's day.
Your table is lovely! Love that you made your napkin rings! now I gotta search it out and find out how to do that! LOL
Oh, ta-da, my eye! My hands could never make such. I can do wonders with fabric and I will stick to that. Your birds are wonderful.
