A ROMANTIC BIRDFEEDER...JARDIN MAISON d' OISEAUR

 

 I love to repurpose!

 

 

Like many of you, I am focused on dressing up the patio for summer! I adore adding touches of whimsy in the garden areas and creating our outdoor living space, a place of beauty and interest!
I have had this wooden candlestick for so long and have never even used it. I found the color a bit off to me, so my plan had been to eventually paint it another color. I loved the shape and height of it however. So as I was searching through the garage, looking for a few of my shepherd's hooks, I came across this melamine plate I had purchased at The Christmas Tree Store in Maine a few years back. It is for decoration only and not meant for food items. I only paid $2.00 for this, which I considered a real find! Hmmmm, both items had complimentary colors, so I decided to use them together to make a bird feeder for the patio!

I tried to enlist the help of Mae, but she found little interest in the project.

 She was on patrol looking for the bunny to reappear around the patio!

A little super glue should work in securing the plate to the top of the candlestick.

I know she is wondering  if this would be a good place to jump up and sit.....

not a good idea Mae Mo....not a good idea!

Bummer......

After a good afternoon rain, I tried it out in a few places!

A rather romantic feeder I would say......

I love it! Everything old is new again!

Now we need a trip to the nursery for asparagus ferns and petunias!

Happy gardening y'all!
