My mom had a wreath of pink feathers that she would hang on the front door every Christmas. Pink was her favorite color, so we had pink bathrooms, a pink kitchen, and my parents' bedroom was pink. (My father never once complained, but I could tell what he thought!) But I digress.

I've been collecting bird nests that have fallen out of trees after storms, with the thought of eventually working them into a wreath. Y'all have given me an idea about using feathers in that wreath. Now I'll have to keep an eye out for some feathers.

BTW I just read the other day that feathers on the market are in short supply. Seems that the latest fad is for women is to wear them in their hair. The men who use them to tie flies for fishing are not happy!

Larry, you brought up a long forgotten memory.

My mom had a pink feather wreath too! I had forgotten all about it until you just brought up yours.

Maybe our mom's were sisters

I think there was sort of a pink era in the late 50s. I remember that one year pink and gray was the in thing for guys to wear when they got dressed up. My mom, of course, was ecstatic and went right out and bought me a pink shirt!

Oh I loved that song when I was a teenager.

A few years ago we attended a party where you had to dress from the 50's and Hank really did wear a white sports coat and had a pink carnation Some folks were to young to get it....

Larry, mom did the kitchen in pink and grey in the early 50's and my poodle skirt was gray with a pink poodle.

I love it when you sing on this forum....now I'll be humming that song!

I love pink outside in the garden but have none at all in my home. I'm a bolder colored gal.

Vicki, that does it! Now I'm convinced that our mom's were sisters!
