treasure from the basement

My sister is on a mission to clean out my parents' basement. This means I have the opportunity to inherit a variety of things. My daughter is in love with an oversized stuffed SpongeBob.

I am in love with this vintage globe. And very amused with the way it was specifically created for residents for the USA. Why else would our country be divided into states? No other country gets that level of detail! Check out the photo below and notice that good ole Grand Rapids even made it onto the globe.
