I decorated my huge birdcage for Christmas. I didn't want to overdo it because I want the Christmas tree to be the focal point not the cage. I just added some greenery to the top, tied it off with a big satin ribbon and added little grapevine wreaths on each door. I got these wreaths at Michaels for 29 cents each! I think they would make cute napkin rings too.
My birdcage even has a crystal chandelier hanging inside thanks to Linda~Blue Gate Blog... I won this fork chandelier in a giveaway she had on her blog! I love it!!!
I added some "snow" and a Christmas tree to this little glass house...
Look what I found on the Victoria website... the next issue, which is due out later this month, is all about white!!! I can hardly wait! Which reminds me...I need to renew my subscription...it's hard to believe it's already been a year since this wonderful magazine came back!
And how sweet is this...Ann~Life at Ann's Place told me I was the queen of blogging and she made me a virtual tiara (below). I'm in good company because I'm sharing the throne with Nikki~Blah, Blah, Blah Blog because Ann also gave one to her! Thank you Ann!
And...there is a new online magazine coming out soon. It's called Romantic Living, you can find out more about it here.

Hi Cindy. I love how you decorated your bird cage! I've put a Christmas tree inside mine and am in search of the perfect lighting so it can be seen well at night. I love the wreaths you put on the doors, and that little chandelier is priceless!
I hadn't seen next month's cover to Victoria yet. All white? I can't wait to get my copy in the mail. Victoria is one of my favorite magazines, too!
Have a great weekend!

The birdcage is adorable. This is why I love coming here, you think of details others would not.

I love the mini wreaths on the bird cage. They brought a smile to my face!

Oh these are the yummiest Christmas snapshots yet! I don't think I would have ever thought to decorate the bird cage. It is perfect.
You even decorate for Christmas perfectly. I'm so not worthy.
I'm so excited about Victoria being about all white. How fun!!! I'm going to have to pick that up for sure.
Happy birthday to your baby. My baby will be 8 on the 18th. He'll be 16 in a heartbeat.
The cage looks lovely and I really like the little glass house with the snowy tree inside. It's all in the tiny details ~
Happy sweet sixteen to Lauren!

I love the mini chandalier in the bird cage and tree in the glass house. Very cute and creative!!!!
Hi Cindy:
I looked for that bird cage you got at Pier 1, but never could find one. It looks cute decorated like that. And your little glass house is adorable.
I hope Lauren has a very happy sweet 16 birthday. Is she driving now?

Hi Cindy, This is beautiful! You should be on a holiday home tour! Your house is gorgeous!!! ♥ Diane
Hi Cindy,
Thanks for visiting...... anytime you want to leave that cubicle and join us.... the door is open! I could have a ball with that lovely birdcage! We have one in the store that is similar, but yours is larger! It's beautiful as is your decor!

The little wreaths and the glass house with snow and a tree are very sweet looking. Hmm...Where can I do something like that in my home....(thinking)...
Wendy
Leave it to you to have a bird house as lovely as your home Chandelier and all. Very pretty Cindy.
Everytime I find old Victoria magazines at yard sales I buy them.
They are timeless in their style and one of my favorite magazines too.
Hope you will come by the Shabby Old House. I have been working on a blue room. But when I think of beautiful blue rooms I always think of you.

Hi Cindy...I have to agree...you are definitely the queen of blogging...your blog and home are amazing and so inspiring and calming to visit. If I had a crown widget (which I don't...sorry...I've only just recently learned what a widget is!)...I would give you one too. You deserve it. Thanks for all your hard work, and for sharing your knowledge and experience. I am definitely a fan!
Warmly,
Tracey
P.S. I'm a huge Victoria magazine fan too...I was so excited to see it back in print.
Oh, I love that chandelier in the birdcage!! I just might have to copy that one!
Your home looks like a winter wonderland...so pretty! Oh, and Happy Birthday to your sweet girl!
Linda
You did a wonderful job, Cindy. Both the bird cage and your festive decorating is worthy of a magazine spread. Just a few days ago, I went over to another neighbor's house and "bookmarked" your blog on her computer for her to take a look at. She isn't currently a blog reader, but we'll see...
Brenda
Your birdcage is very pretty decorated for the holidays. I put a little decor. on one of mine. I really like the fork chandelier. Everything is so pretty. Happy Birthday to your daughter. Yes, they grow up fast.
your little glass house is really cute, I used min aswell to decorate the Christmas table.
Oh yes ...I saw the fork chandy hanging in your magnificent birdhouse ..... that is the prettiest birdhouse ...EVER... It was a little overwhelming for me to see something I made in your most beautiful home.... I have actually gotten a couple of orders since you posted...
Thanks Cindy

So pretty! I have been watching one of those humongous bird cages in a local store for months now. They STILL have not marked it down! I'll enjoy looking at yours in the meantime :)
Love the simpleness of your birdcage decor. And the fork chandelier is just too darn cute.
