feathers

I have a little feather collection going. If they are clean, I keep them. 
I hope to use them one day for a window display, or some other display in 
our shop
I may be a little crazy over feathers. Husband and I do sport one on our arms.
We got these mourning dove feather tattoos last year as our marriage tattoo.
Mourning doves are monogamous and mate for life. 

Do you have any collections?

  1. I love your feather collection, and your tattoos are awesome! I collect quotes in an illustrated little journal, little knickknacks from places I've traveled to, and I'm starting to collect little vintage dishes :)

  4. Those are such pretty feathers! I love starting collections, but for me it's a slippery slope into hoarding. I need to put a stop to that.

  5. didn't know that about mourning doves, nice fun fact!
    like jennifer, collections turn into hoarding.

    i collect vintage swimwear, though.

  10. Neat feather collection, can't wait to see how you use it. I am starting a photo collection of unique signs...collecting may be hoarding but photos really don't take up much space!

  13. I don't really collect many things but my boyfriend does (mostly action figures) and I think it's kind of messed with my head a little. Especially when I see shows like Hoarders, I constantly want to get rid of stuff....maybe that's a separate disorder? lol!

  17. I just found your post ;) A bit late. LOL. Gorgeous tattoos! Did you bring an actual feather to the tattoo artist, or did you base it on an illustration?
