"A unique celebration of the architectural ingenuity of birds, by an acclaimed illustrator. Susan Ogilvy started painting bird nests almost by accident. One day, while tidying up her garden after a storm, she found a chaffinch nest - a strange, sodden lump on the grass under a fir tree. She carried it inside and placed it on a newspaper; over the next few hours, as the water drained out of it, the sodden lump blossomed into a mossy jewel. She was amazed, and dropped everything to make a painting of the nest at exact life size. This was the start of an obsession; Ogilvy has since painted more than fifty bird nests from life, each time marvelling at its ingenious construction. Every species of bird has its own vernacular, but sources its materials - most commonly twigs, roots, grasses, reeds, leaves, moss, lichen, hair, feathers and cobwebs, less usually, mattress stuffing and string - according to local availability. Ogilvy would, of course, never disturb nesting birds; instead she relies upon serendipity, which is why all her nests have either been abandoned after fulfilling their purpose, or displaced by strong winds. Although Nests showcases the specimens she has found near her homes in Somerset and on the Isle of Arran, its subject matter is by no means only British, since these same birds can be found all over Europe, Scandinavia and as far afield as Russia, Turkey and North Africa. This wondrous book is all the more special for its rarity. Few modern books exist specifically on the subject of bird nests; the most recent among the author's reference works was published in 1932. Exquisitely designed and packaged, Nests will be an essential addition to the libraries of all nature lovers"--Publisher's description.

Best lotion I have ever used!
Size: 2.53 Ounce (Pack of 1)
If you like a very strong fragrance, you will love this. This smell more like chocolate. I absolutely love the smell. It's a little oily when you first put it on, but after about 10 minutes there is no stickiness. It's really good at keeping your skin soft. If you have ashy spots, like elbows, this will get rid of that within a couple applications. This is also thicker consistency, whereas the "Radiant" version is watery. The Radiant version is easy to find, but this version is harder to find. So, if you like it, I would recommend you by enough to last. I get the feeling this is not going to be available soon.

Glow and fight crepey neck!

Favorite in my routine. I love Vaseline lotions and this is a perfect last step to my neck and hands every morning. Gives a boost of hydration and a nice glow to my neck. I think this is keeping me from crepey neck skin. Gotta fight that ladies! I use this several times a day and have it to all my friends for Xmas.
