Fabric finds yesterday

I was looking for some birdies yesterday.  Finally found what I wanted, but also stopped in a thrift store and scored these wonderful fabrics:
Every piece in this picture is Waverly except the blue ticking.  I was so excited to find these pieces.  The one on the top left is actually a pair of curtains made by Waverly.  They are tattered and faded -- all the better!  The top right piece has the prettiest little roses on it.  Great piece for covering a bench or for a pillow.  The piece in the center has large handwriting in French.  There were several strips of this fabric in the bag along with one large square.  I have seen this fabric on pillows that cost a small fortune!  Think I will be making one for moi!  The cowboy themed fabric is something I am always on the lookout for -- Kim, we can share some of this!  And the ticking is always appropriate for cowboy/cowgirl collages or altered books.
Here's my little flock of birdies.  Way cute!  Should I paint them a nice light ivory?  Think I will do that to a couple of them and see how I like it.

Easter is coming soon!

I joined an Easter ATC swap that my friend, Sandy of Her Vintage Stage, was hosting. The cards are due on April 1st. Here is the ATC I did for that swap. I am anxious to get my cards back to see what others have done. I will share those with you when I get them. I love this little girl and I thought she looked like that little birdie had told her something that no one else had shared with her. The image is from Digital Collage Sheets. They have really nice downloads that are reasonably priced and you get them almost instantly. Check them out!!
