Feathers

So, I kind of have a little crush on feathers.  Not real ones mind you, the real one’s kind of creep me out for some reason.  They are beautiful and soft, but I don’t really want them in my hair.  You know what I mean?  I could wear feathers, just not real one’s.  Last year I actually entertained the idea of being a peacock for Halloween.  But that would have required making a lot of appliqued feathers on my skirt.  And I just didn’t have time.  Maybe next year. (By “next year” I mean 2011.  Halloween costume 2010 is already booked!)  So no wearing feathers in my immediate future.  Unless it was a necklace.  I”d really love a silver feather necklace.  Kind of just exactly like this one.

And then I saw this felt one….[ felt feather necklace on sale! from danae777 ]

And in my feather “research” (read window shopping) I found a bunch of other pretty things too.  Like, a lot of them.

I could go on for days about all the little things I have a crush on.  I really could.  So I guess it’s convenient to have this handy blog to write about all those things, right?  What are your little pet crushes?  (You know, besides typewriters?)
