My favorite things

I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday! Tomorrow I head back to my day job, so I've been sitting here looking at the opened gifts under the tree. One of my favorite gifts was a new turtle brooch from my nephew. My husband and I have a nice collection of turtle-related items -- everything from art to clay figurines made my several native americans. I love wearing pins and brooches and am thrilled when someone surprises me with a new one! Below is my new crystal turtle next to one of my favorite holiday pins I inherited from my grandmother.
