All that Glitters - Crow's Nest

All that Glitters - Crow's Nest Wreath

In many aspects of life - at work, at the craft table, while shopping - I can describe myself pretty perfectly as a crow. Something shiny or otherwise interesting catches my eye and distracts and/or attracts me. Some of the pieces for this wreath ended up in my craft basket and I made this joke - ohhh a shiny bauble, must pick that up! It made me smile, I have a fondness for crows.

My Nanny was a lady with a large spirit, and was very generous with her love. When we talk about her, my family often remembers one specific example of this generosity above the others: at her cottage, she would often feed the crows old bread. She didn't see why people would fuss, they were living creatures and deserving of kindness!

I could sit all day at the keyboard reminiscing about my Nanny. I'm named after her and was inspired by her in many aspects of life. For today, though, I will only share with you the story about the crows and her generosity. The tale of her and the crows inspired me to create this "Crow's Nest" wreath with these beautiful upcycled glass birds who have collected all of these shiny baubles in their dark little nest!
