Mine is not really vintage. It's your typical birdcage holder--except that it's black. I am going to make a vintage inspired sign for it though...

I'm doing a birdcage as well. Pics in my Bio. But I think it's neat to do a decorated vintage suitcase or old wooden box also.

Nukke · June 2010

mine's a birdcage probably too. My mum has this one and I'm probably going to use it and decorate it with fresh flowers as well:

okay then where did you girls get your birdcages?

Mine's not very vintage at all, got it on overstock and added some ribbon to it.

Sorry mine is really boring. I didn't put much thought or effort into it at all, haha! It's just a vintage-looking patterned box I picked up at Joann's for $3 and cut a hole in the top and added some ribbon.

But I really love the vintage suitcase idea. I saw this train case one a while back. Here's the link: http://lillyella.blogspot.com/2009/10/reception-decor.html (it's a little less than halfway down the page)

She got it from Ready Set Go on Etsy but they're a little pricey. I'm sure you can find a similar case at a thrift store.

My birdcage was from Target. I think it was around $20 but I purchased for my home and then figured I would use it since I had it and obviously already liked it. It is a candle holder so I covered the spike with a thick piece of Styrofoam and decorative paper.

I have a circle hatbox that is black and white damask that I got at Hobby Lobby for like $6 and I have two different birdcages (one is wooden, one is wrought iron) that I got at garage sales for $2 each. I don't know which to use! I will be painting the birdcages black to match my candleabra centerpieces and probably hanging vintage chandelier crystals off of them if I use them.

I'm no help on the birdcage. As I said, it's my mum's and has been in our house since I was a kid. My guess is she bought it in Thailand.

I am using a couple of round hatboxes stacked on top of eachother, covered in carnival tickets. This is my inspiration:

We are using a pottery cannister created by my FI grandfather. He was a mold maker for a well known pottery company during the 1930's. My dad made a round wooden lid for it and then cut a slot in the lid to drop cards in.
