Succulent Bird Cage

I've basically been dreaming of this extremely easy project for the last two years... I would see a cute bird cage in an antique shop on State St. and think about buying it for whatever ridiculous amount it was priced at, then say no fricken way and forget all about it.  Every time I saw a bird cage I thought about it, and I even looked on craigslist but all I could find were like... ACTUAL bird cages, which are not cute at all - more just big and square.  Anyway, I was at Ross about a month ago and I saw a bunch of bird cages (the cute kind) in the gardening section!  I thought I was going to have my usual look-at-the-price-tag-gag-at-the-price-and-walk-away moment, but the one I liked was only $6 - score!!  So I bought it and it's been sitting on the deck since then.  Finally, the other night I decided to stop thinking about it and get some succulents to actually put in it!  So then I did.  And that's how this project that took approximately seven minutes to assemble actually took years to accomplish.  Taadaaaaa!

I had to stand on my tippy toes to get this next picture. And so begins the search for a chain of some sort to lower the bird cage so we can actually enjoy looking at it... I'll report back in one year!
