A Gift Of Spring

Spring captured in a homemade apothecary jar

For under $10, I made a cute apothecary jar with a nest and eggs, with an accompanying blue bird!

The tag reads "A Gift of Spring."

I had a blue parakeet, so anything with cute little blue birds is special to me (and my favorite color is shiny light blue - just like the eggs!)
