my Aunt's house

My aunt is a folklorist. Definition....Folklore is the body of expressive culture, including tales, music, dance, legends, oral history, proverbs, jokes, popular beliefs, customs, and so forth within a particular population comprising the traditions (including oral traditions) of that culture, subculture, or group. Got all that?? She is a teacher at Louisiana Tech University, and she also does all kind of work in here area with artists. Her house has a little bit of everything that she has picked up along the years from the people she has worked with. Some really cool stuff. On our way back from our vacation, we stopped off and spent the night with her. We usually go to my grandmother's house, so my kids hadn't been there since they were little and not allowed to touch anything. They were so fascinated by all her stuff!

These wooden toys are replicas of homemade toys that kids used to have. The one above that Noah is holding, she also had one like that one that my grandfather had made for her and my mom when they were little.
This chair is an antique that someone gave to my aunt. Leah loved the childsized rocking chair!
