This cute little Bird-feeder made from 100% recycled materials is a wonderful addition to any garden ... big or small!

Wild birds love them and will flock to your garden, bringing colour and joy!

Simply cut the bottom out of a 3litre Milk container (recycling!) ... place seed in this, where it will stay dry and insert into the bird-feeder ... hang from a tree; the eaves of your verandah or anywhere that you'd like to attract the birds!

The 'Cubby' is the ideal size for Housewarming Gifts and is a great 'Starter' for Bird-lovers!

The first is this Psalm 23 bracelet (www.etsy.com/listing/64010490/psalm-23-bracelet-in-gemstones-and), in which each bead signifies a phrase from Psalm 23. It is a special inspirational way to remember God's care and love for each of us.
