Some more of my thimble collection.  Here we have one from Scotland, a butterfly from somewhere in Europe, I don't remember where, one from The Hermitage in Nashville, and a horse one from TN as well.

This is a pretty little carved replica snuff bottle I got at a museum.  I can't remember which one, although I am leaning towards The Field Museum.

In honor of my birthday, I am posting a few shots of a letter my Grandpa Tom wrote to me a few days after I was born.  I was the first grandchild on both sides of my family, so it was an extremely momentous and exciting occasion...  I have this lovely typewritten letter framed in my hallway.

This is a pretty square jar I got at ARC.  The shape is really unusual and I was really surprised the lid was still with it.
