Prize and Helmet, originally uploaded by Ellen M.C..

Ugly picture, but it serves the purpose. What you are looking at is my conquistador helmet and my antiquing prize.
In other updates, I didn't hallucinate the Christmas palm tree, they actually wrapped one of their giant palm trees in lights--it must have taken a crane.
That little orange thing is a glass container, it has spikes and is fabulous. When I get around to redecorating the bathroom, I think it will hold q-tips.
Lots more pictures up on flickr, including the best pumpkin I have carved yet.
