    Happy birthday to me today!!

    Look what my Secret Saturnalia person sent me, it had a note saying this is for my BD and not SS, and that there would be another coin later...so I'm not cheating by posting this. And by the way, you have sent plenty of stuff already SS! Thank you so much!

    A nice card with a nativity token...

    And this cool Meissen porcelain medal from East Germany, I was wanting to pick up a more modern piece for my porcelain coin mini-collection!
