home...

I love the word "home".  It is one of the most beautiful and meaningful words used today...it means so many things to me and is a place where I feel comfort and peace, is where I can be myself and feel loved, happy, content, inspired, safe, and many other things.  It is something I appreciate and am thankful for every day...a little haven I call my own.

I was sent a few sweet glass domes from Melissa Frances recently and have been so excited to create a little something with them.  They come in three different shapes and are just the right size for a perfect accent in your craft room or special nook and cranny in your home...they are darling.  I can't wait to try another!

I propped a shabby blue, speckled egg on top of a vintage wooden spool, gave the egg some silver wings and a crown, and made it a special little home tucked under the protective glass dome.

I perched the sweet glass bird on top of the dome and nestled it in a double bow tied from Vanilla Bean scrunched seam binding.

Below are links to several of the items I used:
