When I said I had a couple of replica canopic jars I didn't mention that they're from Design Toscano. My mother-in-law went to Egypt and brought back the replica frieze. The funny thing is she went all the way to Egypt and the frieze is probably for sale somewhere like Design Toscano. My wife went to Costa Rica a couple of months ago and she brought back this cool set of windchimes made from coconuts. Three weeks after she got back I went to Bass Pro Shops and saw the same set of windchimes. Anyways I had this print of Cleopatra's barge and for some reason I've always really liked it. It seemed lonely though so I bought the canopic jars to keep it company. Then my mother-in-law brought back the frieze from Egypt and so now it's getting dangerously close to a "collection". Another collection could disrupt the delicate domestic balance. In other words, "any more crap in the house and you're sleeping in the shed."
