Those birds are really beautiful. They look handmade. I feel that she wanted someone to have them to continue on with them and to cherish them as she had. It's funny too because when you look at those birds, they remind you of her and your time with her.

I've received lots of items from the elderly in my family. I try to keep them as nice as I can and not let anything happen to them.

I remember my 94 year old great aunt wanted to give me her wood-burning stove. I loved it, and wanted to bring it home from the country. But sadly her house burned down, and everything was destroyed. I wish now I'd taken a picture of it at least. I can still remember her sitting in front of the stove in the middle of her living room.

Thanks do sharing her birds and story.
