Avon Snow OwlOver the years I have collected personal treasures for myself and my children and stored them in big plastic totes.

I have been trying to clean up my own totes – give away some items, trash others, etc.  I came across this glass owl recently.

I cannot recall who gave this to me and/or when I received it.  Years ago , as in 40 – yikes! – I was a brownie leader.  At first I was a “Snowy Owl”, then I earned my “Tawny Owl” designation.  In fact I recently gave my pin to my daughter who is a guide leader.  Anyway……..I started receiving lots of ‘owl-themed’ gifts.  Candles, jewelery, macrame, etc. etc.  I think this is likely a recent gift, but this is the only reason I think I have this.  Or……maybe it’s been in my tote for awhile.

In any event, it is an Avon powder container called Snow Owl.  Piercing blue eyes!

|I have a number of glass animals that I am going to have to photograph.

Avon, Bird, Milk glass, Nest, Powder jar

This is one of my bird-on-nests collection.  I have no recollection of my purchase of this item, but I half think I got it in a box-lot at a Stapletons Newcastle auction.

It sits, with my other birds, on a white book case, in the sunny front window of my living room.

It’s a common item.  All my searches tend to date it as a 1970s item.  Mine has the number <14> on the bottom of the nest.  No idea what that means.

Pretty piece, probably had powder in it originally.
