Treasure Trove

[poliphilo]

We needed something out of one of the boxes we packed in a hurry when we moved down here- and haven't really looked at since.

Treasure trove.

Here are some of the little people my grandmother brought back with her from Mallorca. They must be at least 40 years old- a bit dusty but otherwise in fine fettle.



Also I found a silver ankh. I gave it a polish ( and should have dusted the little people while I was about it.)



I have a fancy to wear it for a while.

I remember when I was a kid there were gift shops for travelers that had stuff like that boat, mostly Mexican. You don't see it anymore.

These days most local souvenirs are made in China.

I don't think I could find a boat like that in Mallorca any more and in any case, it wouldn't be made locally.
But yours is lovely.

That's really wonderful!

You should definitely wear the ankh.

It's funny how time lends so much charm to tourist souvenirs... There used to be so many odds and ends like that in my nan's house and I regret now that none of them found their way here.

I'm going to.

My mother kept most of her mother's things, I think. We have lots and lots of her knick-knacks.

That's a very nice ankh! My partner wears one very like it that I gave him 24 years ago :)
