Tiny Treasures
I discovered that Aunt Kathy and I share a common interest in collecting miniature treasures. Below is a man with a large sombrero napping against what we believe to be a well.
Here you can see the size of it when compared to a quarter.
Several of these tiny tools actually work. The knife opens as do the pliers and cutters.
Here's Aunt Kathy's treasure chest for her tiny treasures. I believe it was made by one of Aunt Kathy & dad's uncle.
The outside is made of metal with the inner box being wood.
Below are a few more of her treasures, rattlesnake rattles and arrowheads.
Dad said there were lots of arrowheads around where they grew up in eastern Colorado.

Wow! How awesome are those treasures! I think the box is my favorite, though... I LOVE little trinket boxes!

So cool! I was surprised to see how tiny the little figure is compared to the quarter. Your camera takes great close-ups.

I just love things in miniature, and you can collect so many more in a much smaller place. : )

Oh, and did I mention how much I love my new camera. These shots were taken before acquiring my new macro lens, too.
