I know, lucky me!!! I keep mine on the floor (removed the chain)to the right side of our fire place, with a mercury silver ball inside on top of moss, with one of those electric candles with the flame that looks real. I placed a antique white cast iron bird and a large cast Iron Urn filled with ferns next to it. I love how it looks.

Soooooooo many possibilities with this project. <BR/><BR/>Let us see what you come up with when it's completed ok?Sherry Goodloehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00479849071623247298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5481855050281433351.post-42923690123315152292008-05-21T21:13:00.000-05:002008-05-21T21:13:00.000-05:00I don't have a clue as to what I would put in it b...I don't have a clue as to what I would put in it but had to tell you that it is gorgeous. wow!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5481855050281433351.post-82043539052187441102008-05-20T07:37:00.000-05:002008-05-20T07:37:00.000-05:00When my mother died, I inherited her glass bird pa...When my mother died, I inherited her glass bird paperweights. I bought a birdcage and put them in it, along with an electric candle to reflect their colors. I found an antique bluebird Christmas tree ornament (the clip-on-kind) and perched it atop the cage (my bluebird of happiness). It's become quite a conversation piece.indybevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05505539407819784525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5481855050281433351.post-20774236311742867522008-05-15T16:11:00.000-05:002008-05-15T16:11:00.000-05:00Hi Kris!
