Trinkets! Bits and bobs! Shinies!
A small selection of colorful baubles from my collection of Stuff.
Including driftwood, opalite, bismuth, rose quartz, a dried fringed sawgill mushroom, some dried flowers (I don't remember what kind), a pair of vintage clip-on earrings I thrifted, an art nouveau matchbook from my Nana's collection, a tooth pendent from my grandpapa's old jewelry-making supplies, a rose shaped floating candle, a small gold box encrusted with rhinestones, an acorn cap, and some other random stones.
This is my first such post, I hope y'all see something that makes you happy!

It Happened Today in Christian History
May 26, 451: Armenians fight a desperate battle at Avarayr to preserve their Christian culture against the Persians, who have a much larger army. This is the first known battle in history fought to preserve a nation’s Christian faith. Although the Armenians lose the battle and their best leaders, the Persians lose sixty thousand soldiers and agree by treaty that Armenia may practice its faith.

When talking about body preservation and mummies, people all over the world think of Egypt and the mummified bodies of Pharaohs, such as Tutankhamun. But how many know that the world’s best preserved bodies actually come from China?
