Nature's Gifts!

Yesterday on my daily walk, I found the sweetest little abandoned nest on the ground. I took a photo, but didn't decide to take it with me. Later I wished I had, thinking of all the creative things I could do with it. I made a plan to possibly grab it the next day if it was still there. 

Then today, the fabulous new Relics & Artifacts arrived and I just KNEW I had to go grab the nest since it would be beyond perfect for the new Finch. Luckily, it was right where I left it. Nature's gift.
