Display your phone in style with this fun chicken-inspired cell phone holder! I love having a super organized desk, everything has its own special place. One problem I've had recently though is a place to set my phone. I do a lot of filming with my phone, so I need it handy quite often.

The flowers are dried for various uses around the homestead. From soap to lotion bars to beeswax candles, the uses are many!
