Empty Nest & Collecting


It's Saturday time for some PINK. Today I have this lovely pair of Fenton birds. I'm not to sure of the type of glass used to make them. I think is an opal. This picture dosen't capture how pretty the glass is. I found them sitting on a shelf at a local antique shop last year. I thought they were very sweet. It seems I'm collecting and grouping more of the same items as I get older. I wonder why I'm doing this? Is it "empty nest" syndrome? No, can't be that the children seem to find their way back to the nest. I know all this collecting and gathering means there will be a lot of packing when we move. For now I will grow my little collections help the children that come back home to nest. I know I will be thankful for both. For more PINK please be sure to pay a visit to Beverly @ http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/.
Have a great day
Marie
