A Nest for All Seasons

One simple natural element, oh the possibilities!

The idea started with a magazine copy cat challenge. More about that at the end.

Spring

And I thought, why stop there.

I wanted to show how you can reuse the nest for each season.

Summer

By combining the starfish, nest and white dishes, you have a summer look.

Same place card (a stencil was used to write my name).

You could use this idea to label food items on a buffet.

Fall

Add a colorful leaf, simple beauty.

You could use any fall shape, a pumpkin, a turkey (these leaves came from the Dollar Tree~10 in a pack for $1).

The nest made an appearance all year long.

The next time you see them, I’d buy 8-12 and find a way to use them.

Now on to the magazine challenge,

from Debbiedoos Blogging and Blabbing:

I love these challenges because they make me think.

And I have a gazillion magazines. ย This is from an oldie, but a goodie.

I used some real and faux flowers.

A pinecone, the same nest and place card.

Add some greenery.

The inspiring magazine:

Cooking with Paula Deen

(click on the above link to order her magazine-she didn’t tell me to say that-but I did see her in Sam’s in Savannah one time, but that was before I started blogging-and I did go up and talk to her-because I do stuff like that-just ask The Nester ๐Ÿ™‚

Premier Issue (2005)

The inspiration page:

and here’s what I came up with:

My page take 1.

Take 2.

I couldn’t decide which one to use.

Go through those magazines and get inspired!

p.s. I love Paula Deen!
