To make room for my beloved piano in our little house, I had to get rid of some books. Proud to say that I managed to weed out 68 books, which were all purchased by the Book Barn in Niantic CT (a treasure). Please clap, this is a huge accomplishment for me.

Luxurious duck-shaped vessel carved from a single piece of rock crystal around 3,500 years ago!
From Bronze Age Mycenae, it is said to be an exquisite example of imported Minoan stoneworking. Probably used to hold oils or cosmetics.

This is such a wonderful read. It’s a novel by one of our great authors, Allegra Goodman, and based on the incredible true story of Marguerite de La Rocque, who was marooned on an island off Canada in 1542. Early modern times in New France, with a feminist twist. Amazing book ❤️
