I asked for 1 and got 3?


Sometimes ugly ones can be changed
with some help into something beautiful.
Like this bird cage...I cut out a opening and
removed the bird and......


TADA....!!!!
I finished this bird cage some weeks ago but
only wanted to show you when I had that last
item to put in, and make it complete.
What's a bird cage without a nest, so I asked
my dear friend Mercedes to make me one.
Her nests are the cutest and perfect for my cage.
THANK YOU MERCEDESxxxxxxxx


Some old letters, cards and a rose makes
it a perfect still life.


I made this photo accidentelly but it turned
out very nice with the chandelier on the
background. It is hanging in my study.

  1. Ja wat verschrikkelijk leuk is dit, toevallig zag ik het pas ook ergens in verschillende uitvoeringen.
    Dat je met zoiets eenvoudigs toch zoveel leuks kunt doen hè!
    Fijn dat je zoveel reacties kreeg met drie i.p.v. een vogelkooi, kun je je lekker uitleven toch?
    En zag ik boven die vogelkooi nou een hele mooie kroonluchter, heb je ide ook zelf gemaakt?

    Groetjes Jody.

  13. Nadie diría que una jaula común se puede convertir en algo tan elegante y hasta romántico. El nido de Mercedes es una monada.
    Me encanta.
    Besos Clara.

  19. I love the grey color for the bird cage. To decorate bird cages instead of using them for birds are also great. I have a few in my 1:1 house and garden, and I like to change things now and then.
    And SO beautiful birds nests from Mercedes, you are very lucky!
    Love, Susanne

  25. Hello Sabiha,
    I'm following your blog for a long time ago and I admire your job.
    I decided to create my blog inspired by your beautiful things I saw. I took the liberty to include you in my list of favorite blogs, can you do the same to me?
    Thank you and congratulations for your beautiful miniatures.
    Laurinha!

  26. Wow I really love that!

    Such creativity in something so bland before, then skilfully turned into a shabby chic piece.

    I really love your blog, great taste, and very realistic pieces too.
