Calling all Birds ~ White Wooden Vintage BirdCage Get's a New Look

This vintage birdcage was actually an old worn, brown drab color, when I found it.  So I gave it multiple coats 

(darn little dowel rods) of white paint.

So I was thinking little girls room or shabby chic kind of decor, something delicate.  Out comes the pinks!

 Had this great old vintage rosebud wallpaper

that I've been dying to use and it worked perfect for lining the bottom of the birdcage. 

  And, Oh look, a ounce of those 5lbs of vintage buttons might come in handy - and I used a whole whopping 3 of them!  Two for the handles & one for the center of the flower.

Tore apart a raggedy vintage dollie to get to those awesome rose florals an leaf pieces to cover that awkward circle up on the arch. Trimmed out the arch and the levels in pink bias tape and pearls.

  And wa-la goodbye ugly old bird cage!

The secret for what to do with doilies or Crafting with doilies

Yes, I have discovered the secret for what to do with doilies.  You too can now make your self a tiara out of these lovely heirlooms.  Watch this is going to become the new wedding rage. jk
I was sorting through the scrapbook clipping of Stan's great grandmother, where she posted all the deaths, returns and marriages of those who lived in Tippecanoe County during WWII, before we took it down to the historical society for the genealogy department.  So if you're missing some info or looking for newspaper clipping from that era with photos and such they just got some new stuff.  When I ran across this...

 

  

Yes, Yes it is, a true doily tiara!

I really think one of you should get some Stiffy Fabric Stiffener and make a couple of them.  See if they take off, could just be the hottest new look in tiara wear.  Hey, side feathers and birdcages are back! 
Who would have thunk?
