It's been a whirlwind of a week, visiting the garden show and a nursery in Seattle, teaching kids during the day and a new series of stained glass classes starting some evenings and Saturday. My initial though was to simply float some camellias in a bowl for In A Vase on Monday, the addictive meme hosted by Cathy at Rambling in the Garden. Then I found this fun nest on sale while grocery shopping after my Sunday job.
Three camellias filled the vase and from most angles totally obscured the poor little bird. A quick and easy arrangement was just the thing to end a hectic week.
Thankfully, there were a few other birds flying around the place who agreed to pose with the posies.
The winter weather warnings on the news had me thinking, "This weather is for the birds." However, these avian friends told me they're not to crazy about it either.

Birds of a feather flock together. A lovely way to start the day and the week: I love this little arrangement, sweet and to the point. My camellia is all buds, no blooms.
ReplyDeleteIt may be a 'quickly assembled offering' but as always you have been able to see opportunities in whatever comes your way, and this woeks so well! Brilliant, and thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteLovely camellias, and they are perfectly framed in that nest. Did you get snow this morning? I'm seeing reports of it up Seattle way.
ReplyDeleteWe got snow on and off, sometimes mixed with rain but no accumulations & no traffic problems. North Seattle was a mess for a while with snow coming in sideways.
DeleteHectic or not, your week sounds like fun and I hope you enjoyed yourself. Love the nest. The bird extras were a nice touch.
ReplyDeletePeter, you always have the perfect accessory for every vase creation!
ReplyDeleteHehe, your birds are very well behaved to pose. Your camellias look beautifully silky.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet/tweet nest/vase for this meme. Your other wonderful little birdie friends were so kind to pose for you.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week ~ FlowerLady
With that schedule I am amazed that you post almost daily. Impressive, and I love the birds. Currently have a pair of metal doves on display at my house.
ReplyDeleteI think the camellias must be happy to have been rescued from the rain and hail and snow too.
ReplyDeleteThose little ceramic birds are sweet. Well done. Simple is good.
ReplyDeleteFabulous find (the bird/nest) and it didn't take you long to put it to good use.
