Fools rush in where angels dare not

Found a new antique doll at Tollbooth in Columbia earlier this week. She’s so unique! I’m still mulling her over, but I feel like she is going to be a poppet of lost things.

no seriously, tell me where you're from and if you read asterix and obelix as a kid because I thought those comics were universal

there's something so funny about 10 people in a row reblogging this saying they're from India and loved them as a kid, and then one person from India reblogging with a rant about westerners assuming their experiences are universal and "of course i dont know them"

Oh I absolutely love that this crosses my dash because I know that maker's mark on the helmet! That's one of my ancestors.

Jörg Treytz (died 1499 in Mühlau, Innsbruck) was an armorsmith in Innsbruck. He became a friend and advisor for Archduke Sigismund and later fostered one of the archduke's children for a while. His father Konrad was the one who first brought Milanese steel hardening techniques to Innsbruck. Jörg's son Marx Treitzsaurwein later became the private secretary of emperor Maximilian I, wrote Maximilians biographies Theuerdank and Weißkunig, then became his "favourite knight" and later chancelor of lower Austria. Jörg's mark of the horseshoe and nail stayed in the family coat of arms
