Re trinketry:
Shown here is the Mexican cross that hangs today at our side in the Raccoon News office. It consists of small copper charms (trinkets) attached to a wood cross with small copper brads. A close view shows that there are such things as turkeys, cowboy hats, a handshake, a fish, a roaring lion, and etc. Jesus, of course, in the center......
Trinkets, yet when seen from a short distance the whole thing hands together nicely, we think. Hence we bought it from the now gone Latin America shop, The Market Place at E. North Ave and the water tower near St Mary's hospital, Milwaukee, many trinket-years ago.
