Eye spy ... a discovery



I am playing along with Cindy's Eye Spy meme each Sunday. This week Meagan of The Byron Life asked us to spy a discovery.

Mine is not so much a discovery, as a rediscovery.

It was buried at the bottom of a container of treasures in our box room. The lightest of bags, sandwiched between a tattered stamp album and a swathe of vintage swap cards. My childhood feather collection.



Each downy and contoured addition special in its own way. A glint of colour here or a pattern there. All genuine finds from the wild. Except, that is, for one that looks suspiciously like a stray from a feather duster.

Thank you to Cindy for hosting Eye Spy and to Meagan for the fun theme. To see some more discoveries, head over here.

  7. Lovely! I had a chuckle at the feather duster comment!
    Thanks for the pre-washed info on pippijoes fabrics! Looks like I've had no excuse to keep that one stashed other than a fear of cutting!
