After I finished packaging my French stamped candles I started looking for something to display them in at my booth at Orange Tree
Then while strolling through the thrift store I spotted the perfect display piece, perfect for a baby shower or....French candles!
Oh Ya, this will work! I added pearl eyes, earrings, feathers, tulle, and of course a tiara. It was 11pm at night and the more bling I added the more I giggled, I couldn't quit!
Of course once I got her all blinged up, she kept falling over, (More giggles) so I found an old table top, added some polka dots and of course rhinestone toenails
After she got a stamp of approval from Billie
This French bird was ready to get to work. I loaded her with Candles and took her to my booth at Orange Tree Antiques
I have to say I was a little embarrassed to bring her into the antique store, she was just sooo goofy! To my surprise the owner loved her and told me to put a price on her as she was sure someone would want to buy her..........I'm not so sure, we'll see. One thing you can't put a price on though is fun and dressing her up was so much fun!
Happy Creating
Carol

Carol your french bird display is priceless. I can totally see you giggling while "blinging" her to life.
Oh, that is so cute. I also really like those French candles. I want to try to stamp on some, but I don't know if I can make them look as good as you did.
Thank you for stopping by my blog.

I agree with the owner! Someone will definitely want her. How fun and I love how you had so much fun creating her look!
Oh Carol what a fun little bird, I love her! You might want to hang onto her as a permanent candle display. You could add holly for the holidays...:)

I totally did not expect a bird! I don't know what I thought was behind the sneak peek, but you just gave me a huge smile when I found out what it was.
I agree with the owner. Someone is going to want your glammed up gal!

She's just too cute! You're so clever the way you fixed her to stand up with all those goodies. Someone will be adopting her real soon!
Having met you at the unveiling of this blingy birdie-I can only smile now each time I pass by your booth (and stop in) and remember the day we met:) *I am the one that met you when you were putting out the birdie!* We've finally settled in enough for me to stop by your blog and it's fab. I feel so happy to have met you! :)
