"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.

Good bag! Lots of space inside and very cute.
Color: Green, Size: One Size
My everyday purse! Really comfortable to wear and fits lots of stuff. I can fit my macbook air, a toiletry bag and a small makeup bag! Although it did come with some thread strands when i first got it, i just cut them and haven’t had an issue since.

Fabulous Bag
Color: Black, Size: One Size
When I picked this bag I was so unsure of what I would receive. This is a fabulous bag with so much room, easy to carry, lightweight, and such a great bargain for the price. It has a good zipper and I love using it over my more expensive bulky heavier bag. The balck is elegant and perfect for day or evening time.

Love these bags
Love these bags. The material is soft soft. The little bucket bag is great for a small shoulder bag. Great value for the money. Versatile and made well.

Cheap looking
Color: Brown-2, Size: One Size
I bought this purse because the color matched so well with the shoes have had purchased. But the purse looks extremely cheap like it's made of plastic. I carry it to work but I'll probably donate it because it looks so bad to me.
