Experiment Successful!

The other day I experimented with real life 'graphics', in my world. I asked your input and
now I've chosen a good idea. I read and took into consideration 'all' of your thoughtful comments and ideas for my humble little header. Thank you all so much for your input, it helps to know you are out there and willingly give opinions and ideas! I thought the best idea came from Donna @ Brynwood Needleworks. Here is what she said in her comment:   
"I really like what you're working on these days. Here's my humble opinion...
I love your title with the sheet music, but I might add the birds' nest to the lower right corner to give it context. I also like the cameo/spoon combination, which I might add to the upper left. Perhaps the spoon bowl facing in (to the right) and the cameo hanging below it into the blog title (sort of next to the crown in that logo) I think having the red birds in the image detracts from the r.e.blue theme."

I liked that she wanted to use more elements in the header...
So that is what I did, only took away the fabric nest and brought in a twig nest with faux eggs and
set my aqua Royal Albert 'Enhancement' teacup and saucer with a little silver demitasse spoon in the upper left corner along with the robin egg blue cameo and shimmery aqua seam binding. Wheewwwww!
Donna, I'll send out your pretty cameo tomorrow!


My Best,   Linda
