Then...
I was lucky enough to find Joanne at Cottage in the Making's blog. On one of her posts, she had actually planted flowers in an old bird cage. What a great idea!! I asked her if she didn't mind if I "borrowed" her idea and she very graciously agreed. This is my version, but you really need to see hers. It's beautiful!
I started with my over-priced bird cage and bought some little flowers on sale. I lined the bottom of the cage with a piece of plastic from the bag that the dirt came in. Then I added the little flowers and a little cement bird.
I had the door open so you could see my bird better, but real birds got trapped inside. I felt so bad for them when they panicked and desperately tried to get out of the cage as I approached. I managed to get them out unharmed. Now I keep the little door closed and everyone stays happy.
It's been very hard lately to be motivated to be on the computer. I've been selling on eBay for five or six years and I think I'm a little burned out. I still have lots of stuff to sell, but I just can't seem to get to it. The problem is that I was on the computer for so many hours a day, that now I barely even read my emails and have neglected my blog and all of you. I'll try to do better...
Hugs,
Patricia :o)

Oh yes, I've had buyers regret a few times! At least you were able to turn your birdcage into something really beautiful to enjoy. Still feel regret?
Your little birdcage garden turned out beautiful! Love the hanger you have it on, too! Such a lovely way to beautify one's home. Thanks for sharing! :)
I just adore your beautiful bird cage garden. You did a wonderful job! That is sad about the real birds but it was a bit funny too thinking that you made such a lovely area that they wanted to go explore. Glad you got them out though.
Hugs,
Joanne
Yes, I have bought things and then later on thought....."I really could have done without that"....but you found a lovely way to make something out of it! I know what you mean about not getting to emails and blogging...it does take time! Just good to see you posting! blessings,Kathleen
Hi love! How are you doing today? I just put away my groceries and now I'm sitting here at my laptop eating Kettle Mesquite chips and typing away!
I love that birdhouse! You did a great job but you really should stop having buyers remorse..I won't hear of it! I've never had it and I don't want anyone suffering from it...lol!
I had so much fun shopping with you on Wednesday and getting to know you even better. Next time, we will talk about you and only you! I see Marshall smiling at me right now because he knows that I'm visiting your blog and he says, "You really love your Patricia don't you?"...and I said "YEPPERS!! I can't imagine having not ever met you and sweet Erica. Being with you and shopping our hearts out makes me so happy and the fun we have is like a glittery rainbow in my life. I needed a shopping buddy and girl, you are it!! LOL!
Thank you for your sweetness and for your dear friendship. I can't wait until our next shopping trip!
Always with love,
Deanna :D
BTW, my Word Verification word is:
sillyum...that would be a word that we would make up during a shopping spree!

What a neat idea! You've really made that "impulse buy" into something beautiful, Patricia!

So nice to read your lovely post. I too have been challenged at keeping up with the blog world.
I remember seeing Cottage in the Making's birdcage post. I was on a short hunt for a birdcage to use until I got distracted.
Your birdcage planter has me focused on being a copycat again. It is soooo cute.
I'm soooooo lovin' that birdcage. NO kidding! What a great idea. Isn't it funny how things work out sometimes? I've regretted a few things too. I have a vintage baby bed that is taking up room in my shed....DUH? Someday I'll figure out it's purpose!
Thanks for visiting....love your blog and the music is divine!

I just love the way the bird cage garden turned out, it became a wonderful find after all, it just needed a little creative touch and there it is just charming! Thanks for stopping by my blog I do know what you mean about feeling old, I'm a grandma that is weird!
Hugs, Diane
Wow, that is a beautiful bird cage, I totally understand what you mean by the being burnt out by the computer, sometimes you just gotta take time off for yourself and just relax!
