sometimes it's the little things

The one I got is metal and glass, no plastic (not that plastic isn't a wonderful invention, but too many things made out of it break or scratch easily) has it's own pouch, and has a nice, weighty feel in my hand :)
This is one of several purchases designed to fill out my "collection visit" kit - the costume collection appointment I was originally prepping for has fallen through, but it never hurts to be prepared for the next opportunity :)
Also taking a short break on the vest as it's impossible to fit myself correctly without assistance - hopefully will finish up the pattern sometime this weekend. I'm using the "down time" to create some renaissance head dressing to cover my anachronistic hair - a linen headband called a forehead cloth with a headrail (white linen kerchief about a yard square).
