...Oh oh oh! They do look so at home at your place!<br /><br />Don't worry at all about the urchins - I'll happily send you replacements.<br /><br />Your shell studies look great - a closer look would be lovely!<br /><br />Feathers, I shouldv'e labelled them, pinks are Galahs, blues are the 28 parrot, the white & lemon yellow is the sulphur crested cockie, the rainbow ones are from the rainbow lorikeet, naturally!<br /><br />Glad you like them.<br /><br />PS I used to live in Sydney and Cairns....Cindy Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423706050014070124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844738554429301422.post-70261013418896321062012-05-08T18:09:10.760-04:002012-05-08T18:09:10.760-04:00Thanks Julie.

My bestest friend, now living on the tiny island of Sark (near Guernsey) is off to live in Sydney later this year, I may have a supply source coming up?

Still sad about these ones though, especially after the trouble that Cindy went to. <br /><br />(I was calling them sea anemones before, but I think they are sea urchins.)Kathleen Maunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17827170549189936589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844738554429301422.post-41271097372248322672012-05-08T11:25:12.841-04:002012-05-08T11:25:12.841-04:00Check this fellow out:

What a beautiful,...I am green with envy here! LOL! <br />What a beautiful, thoughtful gift! You are going to get such pleasure and "use" out of those little treasures. Just wonderful! <br />Don't feel too terribly about the urchins. "All good things come to an end". <br />I got rid of all of my old bird nests and butterfly wings I had been holding onto for years. Time to let them go back into nature...and time to look for some new ones! <br />xoxo<br />JodyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07989341971702269083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844738554429301422.post-69308681206264088352012-05-08T11:24:12.754-04:002012-05-08T11:24:12.754-04:00Aren't the colours of the feathers amazing!
