This instrument has tone and volume like you would never imagine. a note sounded from its strings made you feel as if you were in a concert hall.... I tried it at home and alas could only squeak.
Herkimer diamonds
Daguerreotypes.
And books, always books. We looked at several really cool ones........and that is not to mention all the wonderful love they hand out so freely. Sure was good to see them.

What wonderful treasures!
I'll bet you really did play it well. You are musical I've seen photos that prove it.

It was good to see you all too. If you only got a squeek you probably didn't tighten the bow. You turn the little screw on the end. I am looking forward to pancakes with reeaall maple syrup!
Thanks so much for all you brought us. Love Mom and Dad
I can squeak out jingle bells on the fiddle but it scares the dogs and scars the cats so I don't. Nice!!
This post fits my November mood.
Am antique violin, ancient rocks, a faded portrait . . .
and the family connections that sustain and nurture us through our own brief, beautiful passage.
Warm and Wonderful Treasures, indeed!
Dani, I love visiting them...not just for that reason of course.lol
Linda, I really squeaked. I wish I could get music out of it...what an instrument.
Mom, it was so nice! I came home with a happy on that is still glowing strong. And you are most welcome for the food stuff...glad we could bring it. Thank you for all the books. Ahhh.....Sunday is going to be good! Love you!
Linda, I really wish I could! When I heard the notes that that instrument is capable of producing I wanted to be able to bring that sound forth myself. Alas....
Cathy, lovely...you are right...I am fortunate in family and grateful for them all. And I grew up among such glorious things from other times and love them now.
Faithful, I need to visit a lot more often. I came home renewed in half a dozen wonderful ways.
