Collections

I am a bower bird, I cannot go for a walk without bringing something home to line my nest.  

There will always be a rock or two twenty, 
 

feathers,
 
shells,

beach glass,
 

seaweed,

bones,

fossils,

 and driftwood

I have always collected bits and pieces...I love old and I love nature....so these things fill my home. However now that I walk 3 times a day the collection of rocks and feathers etc is getting a tad out of control.

Remember, I did say I would make it harder for myself to pick up rocks by only collecting heart shaped ones...well take a look at this.

 It seems that all rocks are heart shaped, I only ever see heart shaped rocks now...they are everywhere...even embedded in the roads I cross.  

 
 

So maybe now I will make it even harder by only collecting rocks shaped like...

 
Australia.

  2. Well Vicki you have collected a lot of heart shaped rocks and they kinda look like Tasmania...so when you've collected as many Australia shaped ones you'll have the whole country!!

  4. Your house looks quite like mine - ha ha ha! I pick up feathers compulsively - especially black (crow and raven) and blue (jays) feathers. And lordy.. my house and my yard are overflowing with rocks! Sticks, logs, shells, sea glass... I have surrounded myself with them. Your pictures are lovely - and so are your collections. (all except for the flies - ewwww!
