My DH got two bombos legueros in Buenos Aires, a bombo leguero is a traditional drum from Argentina (or South America)

There are big, we took them as "carry on" on the plan and one of them was so big that didn't fit on the security xrays machines!!!!

A hundred year old crystal chandelier from Brussels. We were walking about the city when my darling literally stopped dead in her tracks, pointed into the store window and exclaimed, "that is the one!" It is beautiful.

Ooh, I remember another one! I was in Richmond, outside of London, and in an antique store I found these old postcards from 1901 - 1902 from a woman arranging a tryst with her love. They were so romantic! There were eight of them, but I only had the money for four. Someday I would like to display them in my apartment.
