You said you would pay for a new one if I could find one, so I spent several days driving across Middle Tennessee and calling various antique and salvage stores trying to find one.

See the tiny, shy little Indian maiden on the left? My father brought her back to me from Alaska when I was a little girl. Although the moths got to her skirt, and time got to her arms, I still treasure her.
