Nesting With No-Cost Objects of Beauty
By, Cheryl Harwell Bailey


I hear many families are getting
 short on cash. 
I remember when my grandmothers recycled soup cans,
washed out every sandwich bag,
 darned socks, etc.
 and they were never short on cash.
 Go figure!
 So here  are a few idea's from
 my wise mothers,
 of  free,
 but beautiful objects....




Tin Coffee Cans, they even come 
with a plastic lid. 
Not all coffee comes in tin canisters,
 but many do.


 Glass jars or bottles.
 Remove the labels by 
soaking in hot sudsy water,
 save the lids.


 Vacant bird nest.


 Pine cones. 


 Sea shells & sea glass.


  Fallen butterflies (do not kill them) 


 Pressed flowers.


 Emptied out eggs.


 Leaves.


 Rocks.


 & many many more.


 The best things in life are free!
