When I retired from teaching in June of 2007, I received lots of nice gifts from family members and colleagues.
Since this is Blue Monday on Smiling Sally's blog, I thought I would feature my little Bluebird of Happiness. He was given to me by Georgia, a very sweet lady who happens to be in my teacher sorority.
He is so cute and has a home in the secretary in my bedroom. I just love him....looking at him reminds me of the story and of my friend!

Happy Blue Monday!
Quick! Come over and link in!
Diane it is very pretty! I went to a glass blower (is that the technical word?) shop once and saw how they blew glass into different shapes. Very interesting.
I'm glad you enjoy your treasure.
take care,
Dawn
Your bluebird of happiness is very pretty. I think real treasures are the ones that hold precious memories. See you around!
What a pretty color of blue this little bird wears.
Have a great Blue Monday.
Diane, it IS a very beautiful bird. I've not ever seen anything like it. wow!
It has been awhile since I saw these blue birds! My MIL used to have a collection of them, and I always thought they were so pretty! :) ~Rhonda

The blue glass bird is very pretty!
How nice that it was a gift with a story...enjoy.
Happy Monday Diane. Hope your doing well. Cute little blue bird. :-)
Love your little Blue Bird. My little Blue Bird is going to turn 1 this week. Lincoln's eyes are the craziest blue I've ever seen - hence the nick name. Happy Monday!
What a lovely story about the lovely bluebird. How special that you can remember your special friend on your retirement. I'm glad you have a special place for it...on your secretary and in your heart.
Have a lovely day.
Thank you for sharing.
How sweet! Happy blue Monday!
Hi Diane,
Happy blue Monday to you. Your little bluebird of happiness is darling.
Thank you for your very kind comment, it was certainly appreciated.
Have a great week.
hugs,

Sweet Blue Monday Post!
Have a great week!
Diane, I am sorry it has taken me so long to visit my friends today. I went grocery shopping with my dh and it just did me in. I have been in bed most of the day. I guess I am not as strong as I thought. sigh.
I adore your glass bluebird. The color is awesome. I have given those bluebirds to my two sisters that have an antique business. They are called 'Bluebird Antiques." They have been in business for over twenty years. I was in business too, for six years and then retired. I loved it so much.
Hugs, Jeanne
How cute and how special!
I have one of those! I just love it. A dear friend gave it to me. Thanks for including the story!

I didn't know about that little bit of history on the bluebirds.I learned something new today.
Morning Diane! The bluebird is so adorable and such a pretty color blue! This time of year must be hard for you since you've not been retired too long? or maybe not since teaching is very stressful these days! I hope you don't mind I tagged you and forgive me if I already told you (my memory isn't too good this week??) Have a great day - Jeannette
Love your BLUEbird!!!
Thanks for the comments about our Make-over.
Hope everything is going well with you!!
