My Mum has sent me some photos of her Cow Parade collection. Here's her email:

"Here are my Moo family. Not brilliant photos but the light was reflecting. Cowbelle was my first and I liked her so much I've got two of her. Cheezy we bought in Edam, Netherlands about 3 years ago. I've not bought any since - though might now if I find the right one! Mxxx"

Sky Cow, Moonet, Metallicow and a Moozart Moment:

Cowbelle:

Mum's a musician hence all the music ones!

Great collection your Mum has Hilary, thank you to your Mum and yourself for the photos

I like Cheezy, I assume that's the one in the last photo?

Wow...these are looking great, Hilary

I know of at least one antique store around here who had a few back in October and wanted the sell them for not that much (from what Fishy told me) but they were without the boxes...I might have to go back there one week and see if they still have them and pick them up

these cows grow on ya, don't they

I think the last one must be Cheezy. You can usually find them on ebay quite reasonably.

She played the cello when she was younger and she's taught piano, music theory & bamboo pipes (Pipers' Guild). She currently plays pipes with some more piping friends and piano at church.

Message from Mum:

"I had no idea of the value of any of the cows. I might look at them more carefully now - mainly I just love them.

I love Smurfs too and enjoyed helping Hilary and her brother build up their collections when they were little.

Any interesting ones near Perth WA? Will be there in April "

Can you put that on your forum? Incidentally my main job was class music teaching, school choirs etc. My real love.before I had you!
