Another tin - another collection. This time I thought I'd share my roses tin - actually it's D's. I gave it to him, he wasn't impressed and I've claimed it back! This tin contains my ribbon collection - this collection comes and goes. When I give a present I might add ribbon from the tin, if I receive a present with ribbon, that ribbon will end up in the tin - it comes and goes, from one friend to another.
I mentioned back here how I like to collect things (OK hoard things). But I consider this an OK thing to do, simply because my collections allow me to collect tins too! And I REALLY love tins, remember I showed some back here and here. I store lots of little collections in my collection of tins. Think I'm mad? D does.
Anyway I thought it would be fun to share a little collection of this or that every now and again. So first off my collection of brooches. I used to be really into them and wear one pretty much everyday, I haven't done that for a while, or even added to the collection. But I still love them all, some are inherited, some I've bought, some have been given. I've probably more than this, but some things I keep in different places for different reasons - or is that just being messy?
Tit's growing fast, really fast. On Tuesday Tit was 4 weeks old, that's 28 days - the same amount of time he/she was in the egg. Look how big Tit is now. We still don't know if Tit's a boy or a girl. Tit's voice is changing and in the next week or two we should know Tit's sex. Apparently girls quack, boys don't. Tit's new home arrived last week, from here. Tit loves it and seems quite happy in there, though still comes indoors at bedtime - it's just not warm enough at night. Tit loves to come out in the garden too, to follow us about - pecking at our toes, pushing through the long grass and trying to eat everything, to paddle and spruce in this little paddling pool (thanks Rach - it's perfect to keep Tit amused).
