Peacock earring box

A metal earring box with a proud peacock perched on top.
Sits on the coffee table.when we run out of mixed nuts to offer,"earrings anyone? "

A study in light.
A lamp, evening light, same spot, different backgrounds.

Bead array.
Took out my bead collection.The display gets rotated around the house. Sometimes in a bowl on the table - all bunched up just gleaming for a conversation.Sometimes hanging on the most unassuming portrait/painting.Then there's the obvious - perched on my neck.

The travelling horseman

This family heirloom has been passed on to my daughter by a grand aunt. Its a hand made wooden piece thats stood the test of my cleaning mishaps.
Its fascinating how our 'Toys r us' captivated kids had ancestors who could just play creatively with little wooden horses.Rustic wooden or flashy ,every toy has a story.
