I was teethed on this collection. And, one of my prize possessions is a framed collection of feathers from her peacocks. I also really enjoyed the John Irving book you picked up about the tattoo artist & her son. Brilliant, as typical for Irving.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13595188087523116290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-16021113243253889632010-05-17T07:51:54.101-04:002010-05-17T07:51:54.101-04:00Great haul!
