DIY: Bird Seed Ornaments

Saturday, December 5, 2015


Michigan winters can be rough, especially for my feathered friends who like to hang out in the trees in my backyard. I'm a bird lover by nature. I hang several of my mason jar bird feeders throughout my yard all year round. Afterall, their hunger doesn't stop for the birds just because it's cold outside.

I have been making these DIY Bird Seed Ornaments for years, They pull double duty. They help keep the birds fed through the cold winter months, and look super cute hanging from my mini Christmas tree next to my deck.

These DIY bird seed ornaments would really make thoughtful Christmas gifts for bird lovers on your holiday list. Just wrap each one in kraft butcher paper, and set inside a burlap bag or small box wrapped in twine.

Painted Fox: Nantucket Driftwood Bowls

Thursday, December 3, 2015


If you wait on the edge of your seat for my new Painted Fox Design Series item of the week.....boy was it worth the wait!

I recently mentioned on a Periscope video that you would soon be seeing a driftwood piece arriving in my collection, and today is the day!

If you're anything like me, you have been staring at the photo above for longer than you care to admit.
How gorgeous are these Nantucket Driftwood Bowls?  I love adding nature inspired pieces to my home and these bowls  do not disappoint! Some may see a coastal vibe, while others see rustic or farmhouse. Driftwood is a gift from nature, and these bowls will easily lend themselves to any type of home decor.

Raise your hand if you are in "full Christmas mode" like me! Now that Thanksgiving has passed, it definitely puts the holiday pressure on. Most of these days I find myself looking at the clock at 9:00 pm wondering where the entire day went.
