Beautiful Blue Bowls

 I love these small bowls, especially the beautiful blues.  I'm using them now to hold jewelry and barrettes.  They were purchased at one of the embassy artisan fairs.

Scientific Treasure

 Colleguim Maius once taught a young Copernicus, and they're proud of it.  They have a whole room of items of monetary value or scientific value (or both).  It's called the treasure room and some of the stuff is fascinating.

Birthday Presents

Andreas' parents gave me this lovely thimble and necklace for my birthday.  The photo definitely doesn't do them justice.  Now to wear them!

Back On The Border

Still working on the border as I wait for my thread.  Maybe I will start some other part soon too.

In The Conference Room

 This is the big conference room where trustee meetings are held.  It used to be the refectory.

Parting

Another couple of rows done.  It's coming along a bit, and I should be done with this part soon.

Inside Maius

Religion and science are portrayed directly opposite from each other in the antechamber of the collegium.  Books, of course, take primacy of place.  This building is used for more than tourism.  It's still used for Jagellion University trustee meetings and formal occasions.
