FEATHERS

Do I have feathers?

yes I do!

I have ostrich feathers, parrot feathers, pheasant feathers, chicken feathers, feathers on masks, feathers on hats, boas, peacock feathers in a vase, feather dusters, feather fans & feather tiaras (1920 style).

I got some of mine at the Fly fishing store in Island city. They have a half off box that I used for the Hello Dolly hats.

I also get feathers at yard sales.

Golden Outfits
