~Paris Birdcage~

You know me, everything with a 
little French theme to it. 
I was in the garden thinking of what would be 
my next project.
When I happened to spot my birdcage I had just painted but it needed something more.
Here is the before picture.
I found some cups at the thrift store.
Just the right price.
The idea just came over me.
They had to be stamped.
Stan helped me drill a hole in 
the bottom of each cup.
Then we placed screws and wire to secure
 them so they wouldn't move.
 I really like the pink and blue umbrellas.
Oh How I love the French look!

  3. I would think putting birdseed in those cups would make it truly gardenesque and feed the birds in high style.

    Neat idea to go even one step further.

    You are so clever.
