Letâs play a game. Whatâs the most impressive thing you have in your home?
I have a telescope.

Gibson is beautiful and spoiled.

Aboriginal coffin. About 9ft long, hollow and covered in paintings.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Thatâs fucking cool! I used to visit an old aboriginal graveside when I was a kid. There was something magical about that.
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Itâs inherited. At some point Iâll try to work out what mob itâs from and return it.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Oh wow đ
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
My family.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Naw. Kids are good value. I bet your wife has a great sense of humour.

Melbcat is a treasure to all of us â¤ď¸

Miniest says the antiques, glassware, crystal and art. Itâs a random assortment of stuff thatâs valuable but not attractive at all, like this thing
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Fuck! Thatâs interesting!
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Itâs a decanter made of Murano glass. Of all the beautiful things I have that are Murano Glass that is easily the most outstandingly ugly!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Thatâs ugly but expensive shit.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Probably the aldi imitation blue Castello cheese
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
That deserves a decent cracker or two. Donât let it it down.

this framed print from my dad
He got it at silver k, I think. I love The Muppet Show (the series and the 1979 movie, I know ALL the songs), and I love OT Star Wars - so this is my most impressive and treasure item.
On par with it, is the carved camphor wood chest I have that I keep my linen and towels in - inherited from my great-grandmothers estate.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
I know those chests well. I never owned one but always wanted one.
Duenan@aussie.zone â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Either my collection of video games or my Franklinâs mint dragons.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Can you take a pic of your dragons?
Duenan@aussie.zone â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Awesome!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Nice.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
My shell collection, including a good collection of fossil shells
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
I have seen your collection and I am impressed.
I made a shell wind chime when I was a teenager and my mum still has it hanging in her kitchen. It doesnât chime but it is pretty.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
thatâs only a small part of it, I have most of it in boxes .

A circa 1850s mahjongg set - with ivory and bamboo hand carved pieces, and a nice little camphorwood chest to keep them in with fitted drawers and inlay work of the 8 immortals. It has ivory âmoneyâ sticks and wind of the round indicator, and a really cute little chinese style brass lock and key for the doors. Cannot be sold nowadays cos ivory and I have no documentation of when or where it was acquired. The pieces are hand coloured with lac, and are quite quite beautiful.
Family legend is that it was acquired by my dadâs Great-Great-Aunt Maggie, who was a character and a half if a somewhat abrasive one. She when to China in the 1850s to convert the heathen, who had done nothing to deserve this, so the family was not surprised when she got summarily evicted out of the country at the end of the Taiping Rebellion. So she went to Peru to convert the heathen there, and also got slung out of the country after an argument with the local Catholic authorities. She was a rabid Puseyite of the most extreme persuasion. She did have an eye for beauty though, and acquired quite a few glorious objects that are scattered around the family. My sister has the pearlshell inlaid ebony writing desk, I got the mahjongg set. I still have to decide who in the next generation to leave it to in my Will.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
I love mahjong. Iâd love to learn it properly though.
500 is a dying art. Iâm good at that.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
If you can play gin rummy, mahjongg is pretty close. Just with solid tiles rather than cards.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Iâll shit it then. đ
