Treasure from Afar 2

At the same time that the student from the Netherlands was here, there was also a student from another country. He lived with us for 5 months. We all had so much fun together! This was one of his gifts, which is a round box with a mirror inside.

One weekend we went to Anchorage to the beginning of the Iditarod, which is a famous sled dog race. A photo of both of the young people and my husband is HERE

Photographically speaking, it was difficult to photo this compact. It was shiny, so glare was apparent in every direction. If I put it out of the light, then the abalone inlay was dull. But this gives you an idea of how beautiful of a gift this was, mostly because of the giver.
