I read through all the entries. I had thought of something to add before I began reading, but the cleverness of the other submissions have made mine entirely inferior and I think I shall not contribute.

John and I were once given a private tour of a cabinet of natural curiosities up in the Northeast Kingdom. It was entirely fantastic, and appropriately dark, dusty, and poorly lit! We began our own cabinet shortly thereafter, a dedicated room in the larger house we used to rent, but now it's all in boxes because we don't have the space for it in our tiny house. Alas!
