The Nest Is Best!

This is a quick little craft that took me no time.

It started with a vintage white ironstone Johnson Brothers gravy boat and attached oval saucer. NOTE: This saucer was attached by the manufacturer and can not be removed.

I really loved the lines and color of this piece and instead of selling it in my booth, I decided to make it into...


 a sweet nesting
 complete with eggs.





All I had to do was put a dab of hot glue to hold the nest in. I also hot glued the eggs in. Then added the vinyl word, NEST.
I used a standard plate hanger that allowed me to hang it on the wall. It really 'pops' against my red walls. Now don't you think the nest is best?

    A.dor.a.ble. Are you sure the hot glue is going to hold it? I'd be so nervous. I wouldn't want to lose your lovely piece. Th is so cute and I absolutely love the creativity about it even if it was easy! Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration at Sunday's Best. PS - sharing on my FB page.
