February’s theme is Oddities

February’s theme is inspired by the cable television show Oddities on the Discovery channel. I (Wendy) am addicted to this show and while watching a marathon over the Christmas holiday thought it would be the perfect theme for February.

ODDITIES dives into the weird world of strange and extraordinary science artifacts through the eyes of the proprietors of Manhattan’s Obscura Antiques & Oddities.
