Frenchy Wire Bird Cage

I love wire birdcages, and was so excited to find this cute one while out treasure hunting last week!  Of course, she didn't look like this when I discovered her!  The cage was black, and of course you know me!  I just had to break out the spray paint!
 Since I was feeling a little bit Frenchy, I added one of my "Frenchy tags" to the birdcage. 
Oooh, la, la!
 The top lifts off, love it!
 I guess you could say that this tag is now one of my "signature looks", as I've added them to many pieces that I've created.  I made it from a tea died tag, added a snipped of a page from a vintage French book, and my favorite stamped images, including this sweet little birdie.  The piece de la resistance is a silk hydrangea blossom that I've glittered (because you can never have too much glitter!), a tiny rhinestone for added bling, and my wonderfully crinkly taupe seam binding.
 Aren't the little hearts sweet?
As much as I adore her, I've added her to my Etsy shop!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!  Now go out and find something to paint!!
