My Tasteful Flamingoes!

image
Recently I shared a video of flamingoes on a beach on Facebook. I mentioned I had a TASTEFUL flamingo collection.
This is one of my flamingo statues.
I keep them all in one cabinet.
One time I mentioned my TASTEFUL flamingo collection to someone and she said she didn’t realize there was an such thing as a “TASTEFUL” flamingo!

Sewing Related Collections

This group of old scissors were all either given or bequeathed to me. I love the designs, finishes and embossing on them.

None of them are really usable any more, but that is not why I enjoy them.

Almost every one of these buttons are one’s I either purchased or were given to me. None are antique or vintage. At least I don’t consider myself vintage so how could the buttons be?

Almost all this selection of buttons are vintage or antique.

These bookcases contain most of my fiber and art related books in my studio.

This bed and the trolleys under it store many quilts. Some are antique, some made by me and there are also some works in progress.

I was fortunate to find this antique thread cabinet at a local antique dealers shop. It holds old thread on wooden spools which are for decorative use only. It also holds almost all my thread.

And my largest collection of all – my fabric palette arranged in color order on these shelves.
