While wandering in Joann's Fabrics not long ago, I stumbled across the most adorable black birdcage. It was 60% off and the last one in the store. I was tickled pink and almost did a happy dance, as I whisked it into my cart.
Isn't this just too cute?!?
I had a couple of bunches of red and white geraniums in my flower stash and a small clay pot on the patio. A quick prime and paint job transformed it to a shiny black pot. A little heart shaped birdhouse that I painted many years ago adds color and detail to the bottom of the cage.
The top of the hutch over the desk has a birdhouse theme, and the birdcages seemed to fit right in. I'm trying to think of a something whimsical for the green birdcage. It may become black very shortly. ☺

How cute! I have several old cages in my house but I have to fill them with my living plants since Miss Camille Suzanne finds it impossible to overlook a little blossom!☺
Love that bird cage!!! I have several and am trying to decide if I should unite them by color. So you think you'll paint the green one? Linda
Hi Diane! How pretty! I like your geraniums in the black pot...perfect addition to the cage...and the idea of grouping them! Can't wait to see what you do with the green one! Have a great week!...hugs...Debbie

Very cute birdcage, Diane. I love what you have done with it. And you can change it out seasonally too!!

Great birdcage and isn't it amazing what a little elbow grease and spray paint will do to resurrect something for a 2nd go round!
What a great bird cage. I've been searching for a great one at a great price, hopefully holding out will eventually pay off.
Hey Diane,
What a great find. I love all sizes and shapes of bird cages. I even have my grandmother's old one for a gazillion years ago!
Love the birdcage. I would love to find one also. I think me and just a few other people...cuz, they are hard to find!
just as cute as can be!!!
Cute! I love the flowers and the birdhouse inside the cage. Great idea!
I love bird cages and I love spray paint! I recently found a cage too and I put my wedding bouquet in it...looks great! I'd paint the green one too...but that's just me. Smiles! :0)
darling.you KNOW i love anything to do with birds.

I love all the cages. I especially love the bike. I wish I had a nicer yard so I can do all those things.
Maybe I will just move to my farm.. :)

hugs ~lynne~
Thanks for your sweet visit Diane!
I'll tell my hubby he did good.
The lightning strike and resulting fire was really scary! We could not believe it that the house was on fire from it. Flames were leaping out of the side and black smoke was pouring out of the chimney.
I kind of thought we were all safe in our own homes from lightning?
I guess not. Hmmmm....
Alex said he thinks it smoldered in the chimney and the heat was just too much.
Have a wonderful weekend my friend,
~Melissa :)
Oh girli, I just couldn't help myself. The weather is so fall like here. Just beautiful. I had a couple of rainy days, Bill slept most of them so had to "start" on the fall decorating. Guess I got carried away and it's all done.. lol I keep getting comments it's too early. Guess not for me huh?? lol I hope you're having a terrific Sunday...hugs ~lynne~
hay hay,Love your birdcage decor and especially love the family dog pix!!!
seeya,
Lynn

Hi Diane,
How are things in your neck of the woods? The days are really getting cooler here...not much blooming outside in my yard these days. Glad I can stop here and see your beautiful pics to remind me Spring will come again! :-)
Susan
You really got lucky with that wonderful bird cage. It looks so pretty. laurie
Thanks for sending me your blog link. I can see you've been as active as me lately. Very nice blog though! Love it that you met your husb on blind date and married 37 years. Whoever hooked you up did a fantastic job!
Thanks again.
Penny
Hi Diane,
I've missed seeing you around Blogland! I hope all is going well in CA for you all. You must still be on Facebook doing the Farming thing. I haven't checked that one out yet. I'm not too sure I should get started on something else on the computer though. LOL!
Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. I really appreciate it. I definitely had a scare a few weeks agoand now things are much better. ~Whew!
~Blessings my friend, ~Melissa :)
