I just think this is awesome. It's a 19th century curling iron. It was just sitting on a shelf with a bunch of random stuff. I had no idea what it could be, but J (my coworker, I'm tired of saying coworker) said "It looks like a curling iron." And it did! So we Googled it to make sure, but yep, it's a curling iron. They warmed up the metal on the stove like they would a laundry iron. I suddenly got a flashback to the scene in Little Women when the girls are preparing for the dance and Jo is curling Meg's hair and burns it off. I love Little Women because it makes me think of my grandmother who I totally adore.Ok, second cool find (though not nearly as cool): Civil War pocket knife
I know the picture isn't great, it was in a sealed display box, so this was the best I could do. I don't know why, but I really like that it's round. I also think it's cool they were already putting scissors in those things even in the 1860's.More good news, I finally got to spend some time with my Teeny last night and may not have to say goodbye as soon as I thought I would. Tonight, Jo and I are going to our favorite bar with my favorite Classicists, so that is something else to look forward too. On top of that, I got to come home early from work today and have a little afternoon time to myself for once. I've even finally gotten my room unpacked to a liveable level :). Basically, I'm in a great mood.
AND I get to see the trifecta this weekend!!!!!! I can't wait to see you girls!!!!
