My beautiful boyfriend Pat got me the best x-mas present ever this year. It is exactly what I wanted! It’s not something I asked for or but is something I have been coveting for years – he’s so smart and thoughtful! Pigeons, bones, taxidermy are some of my favorite things. I love specimens. I’ve always had an affinity for such things but when I took a curating class in college we studied Curiosity Cabinets and It really affected my desire for such things. I want my house to look like a curiosity cabinet! Pat’s gift is another addition to my collection!
I read a few blogs that are for all intents and purposes Cabinets of Curiosity in blog form. Here are a few of my favorites for you to check out!
Fernbeds: The Art of Nicomi Nix Turner
I’ve been looking for some Tumblr’s that focus on curiosities but haven’t really delved in enough to find anything that really inspires me. Maybe I should start my own!
I actually think the above photo is pretty adorable. I’m so happy to finally have my little pigeon skelly. I also want to thank Pat for such an awesome gift. I love you angel!
So, what was your favorite x-mas gift this year? Did you get anything special?
