Heirlooms

Thanks to our friend, (we'll call him "Miguel"), we are able to bring home more than a couple trinkets. I mean, A LOT more. As Colin was thanking "Miguel" (who works for the US military...we'll leave it at that) profusely for doing us such a huge favor, he said "Aw, it's not a big deal, Colin." "Yes, it is, "Miguel". You're enabling us to bring back heirlooms for our children... and their children..." 

So, with a full heart, I post a few pictures of the beauts.
Our favorite Ciseron (renowned Honduran painter) with the Honduran national bird (not really, but roosters worked their way into quite a few of our best memories)

A little coffee table made by Guatamaltecos   
Cypress wine rack

We got a couple paintings framed while we were at it (she's making tortillas)

Fancy bench--fer sittin' 

one of a pair of nightstands
All my favorite Honduran jewelry (most of it came from Colin--sweet husband!)


And, of course, Dunnivan is our most priceless Honduran treasure!
But...he didn't quite fit in a box.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your wine rack - you guys have accumulated some beautiful pieces and I'm so happy that you get to keep them forever! Sentimental value is just so much better than Ikea. xo Mavis
