    Photo Challenge for Thurs. 5/15.....help bump please

    Today's challenge is to show us a picture of the smallest thing in your house.  If you can, give measurements as close as you can.  Here are mine, and they are very small.

     

       This little lady belonged to my great-great grandmother, and my mom had it marked 1875, she's all of 1 1/2 inches high.

     

       This came from a museum shop, I bought it for my mom many years ago.  It is only 1 inch high......now, let's see your smallest things everyone.........have a good day and make this fun........Gram  Smile

     Very pretty, Gram.

     

    This is a wooden thimble that a friend painted for me.  It's the size of a regular thimble.

     

     

    This is a stone that I picked up at the Dead Sea in Israel.  It was so unique.  There are two pictures - showing both sides. It is approximately 1" wide and 1 1/4" tall.

     I think this is the smallest thing in our house. It is a little bird in a nest made out of a mushroom. I put the phone next to it so you can see how small it is.

    Dh gave me this Betty Boop a couple of years ago for Christmas...I really don't know why...I never showed any interest in Betty Boop, but I just love this one. She is 1-1/2 inches across and is 2 inches tall.

    Well I wanted to show you the teeny tiny electrons, photons, leptons, and quarks in my house, but I've misplaced the keys to my particle accelerator.  

    So instead I bring you my collection of almost-antique German Snowbabies that have been in my family for 80 years:

    Each square in that shadow box is 2" high, so you can judge the size of the actual figures.  

    These little pieces of porcelain bisque are very collectible and prices are running between $100 and $200 (and up) per piece these days.  They cost about 25 cents when new.

    The center 3 snowmen at the bottom are not Snowbabies, but vintage German Christmas decorations of the same period, value unknown.

     I can remember this little mug from when I was a little girl.  It's 1 7/8 inches tall. My DD rooted a Jade plant that is the 5th generation of a plant my son had 15 years ago.  I have to find a little pot for it.
