Hi Everyone, I am a bit of a magpie on my morning walks- I tend to pic up things that catch my eye. On any given day, this can range from feathers to flowers to leaves.   have been known to come back with pieces of furniture too LOL- you know what they say- one person's track is another person's treasure.  I wonder what that says about hoarders- they always see the beauty in everything and thus nothing is ever trash?
