Happy Birthday Wesley! A Bird's Nest Tablescape.

Our oldest son is celebrating his birthday today.. I set a little table for us in our sunken lounge this morning thinking of him! I so wanted to do my tablescape outside with my many feathered friends chirping in the background but we are experincing gale force winds and I live near the sea!  So had to make do inside instead!

Happy Birthday dear precious son! We are truely proud of you!

I was in a nearby little town from home, Port Alfred, last weekend and found a little treasure shop in their mall. I bought this little "Bird's Nest" teaset there. It is stamped Gifthous. Even if not a collector's item, I am sure to treasure it and have many a cuppa from it! The teaspoons are antique silver heirlooms.

Please come along with me!
