Souvenirs

We try to encourage the Man-Cub to buy meaningful (and small if possible) souvenirs. Sometimes this is difficult - especially when his friends are running around with giant blow up Sponge-Bob's. Most of the kids on the trip wasted all of their money on junk - mostly candy.
The Man-Cub bought a lovely little oil lamp - it's only about 4 inches tall.
It works and it's so pretty - It will remind us of our trip for years to come.

    What a beautiful little lamp. Smart boy. I'd rather have one of those than a sponge bob any day :o)

  6. That is so sweet! I have my grandmother's collection of oil lamps. I never actually thought to use them, but now I think that I may have to light them up all up at least once. Maybe on Christmas Eve. :~)

  8. What a beautiful item. I had one of these years ago but it got broken. I'd forgotten all about it till I saw your post. Brings back memories.
