Featured are the collections of Carl and Linda Glasgow.  They display their Silvercrest in an old oak store display. 

Their collection of Happiness Birds are in a corner curio cabinet.  They have every in-line bird, plus some that weren't in the line.    

Another favorite of the Glasgow's are the Fenton Snowpeople, even though we don't have a photo of that collection.
