I've been creating my cards and boats for several years, using driftwood found on local Cornish beaches. I love the idea of turning something quite banal into a beautiful object. I hope you like it here. Please pop back again soon! How sweet is this? Parent lovebirds sitting on a perch with their offspring - all made with a gorgeous combination of fabrics. This would make a unique gift for a new baby and would look lovely hanging in a nursery. It is also possible to include other siblings at extra cost. Please contact me for details. I would be delighted to make this in your choice of colours. Again just send me an email! It would also make a great Valentines gift. Measures approx 28cm across. kirstyelson Sun, 29 Jan 2012 11:50:50 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/2921286 http://folksy.com/items/2921286 Love Birds with Baby Perfect for Valentines Day!
