The Cardinal

 One of my Christmas gifts from our son & his family is this Cardinal. It stands on a mirrored & lighted base, and the bird lights up from within! I have never seen anything like it!





We also happened to pass this house. They had made a tree with Cardinals in it, and placed it on their porch. I would like to make one of these myself, it is so pretty!


God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented cages.

Your "night light" is beautiful. My favorite bird.
And I love the porch tree too.

the light cardinal is adorable. I saw the cardinals in walmart with the christmas decorations. they have clips on them and it would be easy to do, you could clip them on any type of tree or even just one

These are northern cardinals made by crystals or glass? Looks so elegant

That cardinal is beautiful. What a nice gift.
I like the tree as well. I saw something similar and thought about making one.

That is a lovely gift from your son and his family. The tree with the cardinals is pretty.

What an amazing gift! Also, I love that tree. Isn't it odd to think of how true that quote is. Man seems to lock up the things he loves instead of allowing them to be free.

That little cardinal is beautiful, Ginny, and it lights up! That's a special gift from your son. I hope to someday see the red cardinal in person. And the house with the cardinal tree is so pretty. You can really see the red birds among the white branches.

*I found the gnome kit at Dollar General. Not sure you have this store where you live. I love browsing in there for holiday stuff, and they already have Valentine stuff out. Yes, look for that McCafe' coffee at the store. It is sooooo good. : )
