BIG COLLECTION!

Those of you who have been following my blog
Should know that I love birds.
I love watching them, feeding them,
and listening to them sing.
The owl is a bird that fascinates me,
because that is one bird that I rarely see.
When I do see one, I get really excited.
I don’t remember when I started collecting owls,
but I do have a big collection of them.
Some are wall hangings, paintings, plaques,
and figurines….big and small.
Some I bought myself, some were gifts.
The most of them were yard sale finds.
I want to share them with you here.
I hope you don’t get bored looking at all of them.

The owls below greet everyone
who steps upon my back porch.
This was a yard sale find.

Also on my back porch is this hanging owl.
It holds a candle for light.
Also a yard sale find.

The clock below was a gift from my mom.
It hangs on my front porch.

Another clock on my front porch
was given to me by my Aunt Irma.
She found it at a yard sale.

This burlap and carpet wall hanging
was a gift from my sister, Connie.

another yard sale find.
One has the date 1973 on it.

In the next two photos,
there are over thirty owls,
mostly yard sale finds.
The two black ones are made from coal.
These owls are displayed in my curio cabinet
that John made me out of one of his gun cabinets.
Wasn’t that nice of him?

The owls below are also in my curio cabinet.
The one on the far right is a gift from
my daughter, Terri.
The one with wings outspread is
one I fell in love with and had to buy.
The other two are gifts from
my secret sis of several years ago.

This is the end of my owl collection
I hope you enjoyed it.
I also have a large collection of angels,
and an Avon collection
that I started before I was married,
over 42 years ago.

Maybe someday I'll tackle the job of posting them also.
