Here we are on my 3rd week of hosting Show and Tell Fridays. Fridays seem to roll around so much more quickly now! I didn't even get a chance to take new pictures of something to share with you this week so I'm reposting some photos of my birdhouse I bought at a flea market earlier this year.
Can you believe I got this birdcage for only $25!!! It was black when I bought it. You can see what it looked like in my original post...just click here. The plan was to move my finches in here but it didn't work out because Beau, my chihuahua would not stop barking and jumping on the cage so now it's just a decorative cage. It's one of my favorite flea market finds and one of my favorite makeover projects!
If you are joining in on Show and Tell Friday, please remember that your Show and Tell needs to be something from your home or garden.

I look forward to seeing everyone's posts...it may take me awhile to get around to visit everyone since I work full time but I'll do my best to get to your blog as soon as I can!

Wow, Cindy, what a makeover from the original birdcage.....it's beautiful!
Thanks for hosting "Show & Tell".
I just love birdcages and your's is beautiful. I've enjoyed your blog for several months now and you were an inspiration for me to start my blog just last week. Thanks for all your wonderful posts.
It's beautiful and looks perfect in your home. Of course white was the only way to go with it! I must say I am a little curious where your finches are now (does your dog not try to get at them currently?).
Love that birdcage!!
Cindy,
the first link that I left with Mr. Linky is to my blog in general - oops. So, I re-entered for just my post, so there are ttwo of me. Can you delete the first one? Sorry for the inconveinence!!
Love, love, love your stuff!

What a beautiful decoration it became ! you did a real good job ! Maybe one day you find some nice porcellan birds to put in there.
Just darling. I am going to be doing the very same thing to one of my birdcages very soon. I just have to find a spare moment to do it!
Your birdcage is awesome! And a great price. I have bought many new ones over the years raising birds and they are expensive. And it looks perfect in white!!
I will try to think of something fun to post next week if I can...
Have a great weekend, Cindy! :-)
xoxo

Thanks Cindy for showing us your makeover. I'm following your blog for a while now and I have to say, all your home is so very beutiful, just my kind of style.
I'm at work right now, and we have limited access to internet, I can't see the MrLinky thing, so I post my link here

Hi
Lovely birdcage--beautiful photos.
Sue
You did a wonderful job on the birdcage.
Thank you so much for hosting Show and Tell. Terry
Wow ~ that is some size bird cage for $25.00! Glad you saw past the black; it looks so pretty white or maybe it's just that it fits in so well with your beautiful home.
Lovely bird cage! It looks much better since you painted it. It's funny that your dog kept barking at it.

Love your birdcase, your post, your blog! I always enjoy reading your blog and seeing what you've done and now I'm sure I will enjoy linking to your weekly party! Thanks!
Wonderful job on the birdcage.. It is lovely as a decor .. I have several bird cages, but none as large and pretty.. Thanks for hosting the Show and TEll Friday
Simply beautiful. I forgot to look, do you have the fork chandelier in there? I bet you do.lol Have a great weekend..Linda ;)
Hi Cindy,
That is a lovely birdcage. I dont have even one at the moment. Thanks for sharing and have a nice weekend.
WOW!!
What a great 'repeat'. Actually what a cool job you did making this your own. Thanks for hosting us today:)
I remember this birdcae when you redid it...it's beautiful! Too bad you can't put your finch in it . I wouldn't be able to put a bird that close to our dogs either. They already all gather around & freak it out when I clean it's cage or feed it. They're just hoping to get a bite...of my parakeet!
It's my first time playing in Shwo N Tell...thanks for hosting!
Your birdcage is just gorgeous. I love it. I also love that beautiful hutch and chair next to it. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Marty
I almost forgot about Show & Tell, but I am in. :) I remember your post about buying the birdcage. Love the bird and flowers you have on top. I am in the process of changing the decor on one of mine. Thanks for hosting again.
Have a great weekend.
Hi Cindy...
Hope that my note is finding well today, my friend! Been praying for you and hope that you've completely recuperated from that nasty flu!!!
My friend, I remember your fabulous bird cage when you first posted about it! I love how you transformed it and WOW...what a great deal you got on it! So sorry that it didn't work out for what it was originally intended but it's such a beautiful piece to just display! Of course I can't write this note without mentioning your fabulous frenchy armoire! Girl, I do believe this is the prettiest armoire that I've ever set my eyes on! You did a magnificent job refinishing this beautiful piece of furniture! Soooo very beautiful!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your pretty bird cage and your beautiful home with us...and thank you for hostessing Show & Tell Friday...I really enjoy this fun filled Friday event!!!
Warmest wishes,

I hope I am not too late to join your give away it is so cute. Your home is beautiful. I have followed you for a long time, I rarely leave a comment. I think I should change that. Blessings, Martha
That bird cage really was such an incredible find! I have looked for one like it ever since your original post, and have not found anything that comes close to that. My poor birdie is still in his ugly cage, and now I feel so guilty!
What a beautiful birdcage my Love Bird would be most happy in a home like that one! ~Thanks for sharing Blessings Heather :D
I do just adore this project of yours, so happy to see it again! The chandelier in just kills me!
Good Morning Cindy
What a great show and tell. The cage is so full of vinatgey goodness. I love how you use so many shades of white throughout your home. It's beautiful.
