The houses of KLM

Sharmila and Nikita traveled to India by KLM. Which meant I got to add to my collection of KLM houses. I had even given them the list of house numbers that I have, so they will not pick up a duplicate. đŸ™‚

They publish one new replica of some famous houses/buildings in Netherlands every year – I believe on their annual anniversary day of existence. I have long ways to go!!

A prized possession in my antique collection

Sharmila and Nikita are back from India. Looks like, together with my mother-in-law, they dug up my late father-in-law’s stuff and got one of his prized possessions – a Yashica-D camera. He was an avid photographer back then. This is from the late 50s – nearly three-quarters of a century old! I think it was one of the first twin-lens reflex cameras.

It has now been added to my small but growing collection of things that most folks today would not recognize, nor know how to operate!
