Historie: "Oyez, Oyez, Oyez . . ."

"Oyez, Oyez, Oyez . . ."

This is my "Supreme Court and Other Favorites" shelf. Here, I have some of Dr. Hall's works, some bios of Geroge HW Bush and Clarence Thomas and a two-volume set on John Marshall. The ornament you see on the far left is actually a small piece of one of the "retired" drapes from the Court's chambers encased in the lovely frame. In the middle is a little model of the Supreme Court building, and watching over all of these treasures in Will Taft. He would be most pleased that I placed him here rather than on the President's shelf!
Thanks for visiting!

Anonymous said...: It is fun to see your collection of books and the the framed piece of the Chamber's drapes. What a unique momento. I clicked and enlarged and realize that you have a Cat's Meow Supreme Court Bldg. - John and I collected many of these pieces on our honeymoon and through the years. I do not have them displayed but they bring back lots of fun memories!; September 5, 2010 at 4:01 AM
At Home Together said...: Thanks, Mildred. I couldn't remember the name of that collection, but you recognized it! I bought that at a Clearance sale years ago at a nice store in Dillsboro.; September 5, 2010 at 4:36 AM
