Yes yes... ( Spoiler cut for a years-old season! )

Pay-It-Forward 2014: The first 5 friends to comment on this post that they want to play will receive from me, sometime in this calendar year, a random gift

It will be a total surprise! Maybe it will be a candle, jewellery, gift card, movie, collectible figurine, food, kitchen stuff, home décor, who knows??

There will be NO warning and it will be sent to you whenever the mood strikes!

So, what's the catch? If you decide to participate you MUST make this same offer on YOUR page and get 5 people to randomly gift too.

If you're one of my 5, I will confirm by answering your comment and asking for your mailing address in a PM.

This is supposed to be fun and give us a treat in the mailbox vs bills, bills, bills and junk mail!!

(I'll update once I have my five :3)

I found some older article from when the patent model show we have at the Stark was at the Smithsonian for a bit - the have some images of some of the objects, for those of you who are too far to go but who may be curious!

Article form Smithsonian magazine - this has links to good pictures and some info of several objects, and has a really nice image one of my my favourites so far (I haven't been through the whole thing yet), which is a match making machine that is super steampunky >.>

A article from gaylord on the collection - this one showcases upfront the also really steampunk-looking paper bag making machine.... But the real gem here is that you can see the creepy cat-thing pigeon starter :D

ETA: I am not very observant, but the Smithsonian article actually links to the collection's online home, which has images and information about allll of the models, including more than just the ones in our show.
