Now that winter has finally arrived, our film crew is in a great hurry to catch the last fine, clear days to finish the new episode of the Crazy Canuck Collections project, which will feature a unique collection of ladybug paraphernalia.
The episode’s main subject, Mila, has been collecting figurines of these lovely insects for over 15 years.
Today her collection includes about a thousand figures, trinkets, souvenirs, Christmas decorations, bottles, and even coins, all made in the shape of a ladybug.
It is believed that these creatures bring good luck, and that’s probably what they bring to Mila each time she manages to find a new exhibit for her collection.
