Last week I found a mailbox still attached to the post in the dumpster when we took our trash. Of course it had to come home with me. I knew exactly what I was going to do with it. Painted it with paints given to me when a lady cleaned out her garage. Cut a hole in the door of the mailbox and bent the metal up to make a roof over the doorway so the birds wouldn't get wet. I had a wooden swing bird feeder that I hung close by so they wouldn't have far to go for food. Hopefully the birds will spread the word and next spring Bird Haven Cottage will be rented!

The birds are going to be very happy Peggy! That's cute as can be.
Ok now that is soooo cute! If I were a bird I would rent it!
Cute idea, are utilities included with the rent, LOL.
Oh --you are just too darn creative, Peggy... I love all of the things you pick up along the way... I never seem to get that lucky--but then again, I'm not as creative as you are.
Love the new bird house... Wish I were a birdie in your yard!!!!
Have a great weekend.
Hugs,
Betsy
Clever idea and the birds are going to love their new home...have a great weekend..Lisa
Now that is cute. Love the bright colors. I'm sure you'll have a tenant soon. Don't you love it when you find freebies? I know I do.
I'm with Betsy!! If I found that all I would see would be an old mailbox that would be good for nothing!!
You are very imaginative!!
I love the new birdhouse. I know the birds will too!
You know I found our Hoosier Cabinet at the dumpster one day when I took off the garbage.
You did a great job on the birdhouse.
Have a great weekend.

I saw a pair of bluebirds in my back yard recently. What surprise, I am not sure if I ever saw bluebirds before. In any case, I thought this was a little far north for them. Not so apparently, they are making a comeback after the problems with DDT.
I am thinking of making some bluebird boxes for next year, your inventiveness makes me think I should go shopping in the dump.
I love this. I have one sitting in the kitchen and I was wondering what cool thing I could do with it.
What a sweet creation!!! I love it.
