Happy Mother’s Day

One from The New Yorker, August 19, 1985.

 

The post Sunday Spill: The Tilley Watch Online, May 4-8, 2026; Happy Mother’s Day first appeared on Inkspill.

Hello again. How are you? I’m just here waiting for Spring to get the memo lol. So to send a message, I made this cute Spring Nest Planter. It’s so cute and it’s making my heart smile.

Isn’t so sweet? 
I added a couple of birdies from the Dollar Store for a little whimsy.

I used two 6″ grape vine wreaths to make the ‘basket’ 

I first uncoiled the wreath a little…
I then placed a plastic pot saucer and inserted it into the wreath.

 I then placed another wreath on top and secured it to the bottom wreath with wire.
I then inserted two mossy twigs at either side and curved them to form the handle of the basket.

To hold fresh flowers, I used some floral oasis and inserted various flowers with a little moss around them. 
Or you can use it to place plants inside like a planter… 
I also tried these pretty maiden hair ferns and some violas or pansies. I think this looks so pretty and so springy.  

I think this turned out sooo pretty and would make a beautiful gift.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

much love,

Lucy
