Book Case Items

Show and Tell

Back in February I posted a picture of our bookcase in the family room. Today I thought I would focus in on a few things on those shelves besides books. Here they are.
We bought this little cottage clock in London in 1997.

My husband has two of these given to him by two different church member. One is here in the family room. The other is in the upstairs office.

This little ballerina we bought in Stratford, England in 1999.

The mini lamp I bought at The Great Indoors.

Here's a closer up view of the little ballerina.

These elephants were given to me by the boys at Kulpahar Kids Home in India for my birthday when we were there in 1999. The alabaster vase at the right (which almost didn't make it into the picture) we bought in either Ephesus or Corinth in 1978. I think it was Ephesus.

    What a nice gift from India--love those elephants--makes me think of Kipling's books. Also love the little balarina (sp?)!! She is so sweet.

    Hi Charlotte, I love the little Ballerina figurine. My daughter does ballet, so it reminds me of her. Happy weekend!
