A little ‘Yul-tide’ cheer

The 'Yul shrine' with new additions
What Yule tide celebration would be complete without Yul? Even famous poet Marianne Moore made the connection with her immortal words,
“Yule — Yul log for the Christmas-fire tale-spinner — of fairy tales that can come true: Yul Brynner.”
Special thanks to my wonderful dual personality for finding these superb Yul-relics and for the symmetry. Great birthday presents! The picture does not do them justice. As usual, we (three of us tried) had a hard time with glare and shaky hands, but I think you get the idea. A disclaimer: the green piano came that way (it was free so we couldn’t complain), but we’ve grown fond of it.

Awesome post BUT I CAN’T BELIEVE I’VE ALREADY GIVEN YOU THAT PLATE!!! I am so cursed when it comes to repeating (great) gifts!! Mea culpa (again).
I STILL can’t believe I gave you the same plate! I suppose you could start a “collection” of those particular plates. That would be so special….
It’s always better to have two of something — especially something so great!
They are like book-ends.
I love that you commented on this FOUR times. But I can’t believe Sarah has TWO Yul Brynner plates.
Actually the comment about it being better to have two of something was from Sarah, but somehow came in through chuckofish. Confusing.
yes, I forgot to change my user. Sorry about that!
