I knew that I did not want a "baby theme" nursery for V, but was not 100% sure what I wanted. I had bought a wire heart when I was pregnant with O and some wrapping paper with birds and mice on. Bird cages are all the rage at the moment and I found a simply beautiful one. The theme of hearts and birds was born...but I also wanted Vintage.
Naartjie clothing www.naartjie.co.za have the cutest "patchwork" bears with some of the proceeds going to charity - so it was def a must have! The poor shop assistants must have thought I was crazy as I lined up 3 bears to decide on which I would eventually take.......
Although their faces are all similar, I loved the look of this bear...and the fact that it had birds on.
The wall above the bed showcases 3 ribbon embroidery pictures, done by my talented Mom many years ago for my niece. Luckily for V (and me..) my niece was happy to LOAN them to her cousin.
I wish I was a talented photographer, as the pictures above don't really do the room justice. I have not even touched on the linen that my Mom made for the bed and cot, as well as two quilts - they deserve a post of their own! Anyway the final touch is the bird in the window....
Oh Debs it looks wonderful! YG will be green about that baby Singer!
