Spring Strings

My mother-in-law just celebrated her 80th birthday and I racked my brain to try and come up with something to give to her that she would enjoy.  I finally decided on a mini makeover for her room at the nursing home.  I made two spring string table toppers, added a little pot of brightly colored silk flowers and some newly framed family photos and it all made for a very happy birthday indeed!

What a lovely idea. You've no doubt brightened not only her birthday but everyday afterward!

I'm sure the new touches will bring her much pleasure, and have the added bonus of people stopping to tell her how lovely the new things look.
Interaction with others on a casual basis is such a bonus for our seniors! Great job!
