We'll start with a picture of all three cats exploring the cuuh, although only Felix is in the thick of things

For some reason this didn't make it into the picture above:

• pressed flower picture - 25 cents

Close-up of the wooden plate, it is made from pieces of wood glued together, then the plate was turned. The cross sections make such interesting and beautiful designs!

Love this photo of the construction crew posing on the roof of the building on the cover of this book. The book is full of scaled diagrams and drawings, it is a how-to book for constructing German houses, copyrighted 1940.


A little better view of the multiplexer and microphones. 3 of the mikes are wired, the one in the case is a wireless unit. This machine doesn't play karaoke, it is for recording and controlling multiple inputs simultaneously. Looks like it might have some interesting possibilties...
