A little tour of the things I love: second stop

These tea cups are on one of our bookshelves in the living room.
Here’s a small pic. Click to view a larger versrion.
Inside the tea cups are real bird nests. Inside the bird nests are real bits of broken robin’s eggshell. The quail eggs are from the ever-lovely Marla. They just seemed migrate to this spot.
The thing that looks like an insect is actually something the girls found and put there. It’s a translucent husk of a bug -Â completely weightless – a ghost of its former occupant. I’m guessing somebody was shedding and left that thing behind.
