    All your pictures are gorgeous, but I can’t keep my eyes off the Robin’s Egg Blue.
    The robin is sort of an unofficial crest for my family on my mother’s side. They immigrated to America from Ireland during the famine and my great-great-(how every many greats!) mother was a wonderful artist who turned amateur tattoo artist and gave all the men in the family a robin on their left forearm. I’m no man, but I think I’ll be reviving that tradition when I’m older and get one.
    Thank you for your wonderful posts!
