Una chiave non sempre serve per entrare....io sicuro non entrerò....
Not ever a key makes you enter....sure i won't.....
Trying a new idea for pendants, glass keys. I've put silver oval links on a couple, I think they might be nice on simple ribbons

Tendered in to South Queensferry, walked through the woods to the railway station and rode ScotRail into Edinburgh for a stroll around town.

If you found a lost key, what would you think?
"I wonder who it belongs to?" or "I wonder what it opens?"
The curiosity is even more intense if the key is old one. For example, take this 19th Century key which was found in Lichfield. What door in Victorian Lichfield did this key open?
Frustratingly, we simply don't know the answer. The key is actually one of a number of keys which have been found within the city and donated into Lichfield's collection. Although we don't know what any of these keys opened, they do tell us one thing: Victorians were just as likely to drop their keys around town as we are now!
The key itself has a flat oval bow with a cylindrical shaft. The shaft widens into a collar with a flattened edge. The pin has a conical shaped point and a simple bit with a solid ward style cut.

it had been a long day the night before, arriving at work at 7am and leaving the office at 10:30pm... i wasn't exactly at the top of game. i trudged home on the muni, labored up three flights of steps and dropped my stuff. i took the garbage and promptly put myself into bed only to do it all over the next day.
the next morning as i hurried to get ready until i realized i couldn't find my keys... and i must say, this happens a lot. so i just figured they were just at the bottom of my bag or tucked in a pocket. i grabbed my spare and headed out the door.
however, as i left, i remembered the countless other times i had inadvertently left my keys in the door when my hands were full and paranoia struck that i had done it again last night. i boarded the bus with the worst case scenario's rolling through my mind of some stranger who now not only had my keys, but knew the door to which they belonged.
i tried to work but i knew my subconscious was in control of my consciousness and the only way to satisfy it and save my house from being ransacked was to return home in search of the keys. two hours later, my room was spotless but the keys were still, no where to be found.
still afraid someone was going to sneak up the stairs at any moment, i called my landlord and scheduled an appointment with a locksmith. $200 soon to be down the drain...
i gave up.
as i waited for the lock man to come, i reached over and picked up a prayer letter from a friend that i hadn't finished reading from the night before.
and what do you know?
the keys were waiting for me under it.
hmm... i think there is a lesson to be learned.
Burg Eltz is a relatively well known medieval castle nestled in the hills above the Mosel River between Koblenz and Trier, Germany. These keys are part of the exhibit in the castle's treasury. I think they're exceptionally interesting and beautiful.

Francis Scott Key
Inside the entrance to Mt. Olivet Cemetery is the Francis Scott Key monument. The author of “The Star-Spangled Banner” in 1814 which became our national anthem in 1931, Key was born in 1779 in Frederick County. In 1800 he established his first law office in Frederick. Key died in Baltimore at age 63 in 1843. After the Civil War, his body was reinterred here to Mt. Olivet Cemetery. In the 1890s, money was raised to build a monument to Key and in 1898 this monument and statue, sculpted by Italian artist Pompeo Copini, was dedicated. Key, his wife, and one of their children are buried under this monument and grave.
At 19 feet above sea level Lignumvitae Key is the HIGHEST point above sea level in the Keys which beats the island of Key West's Solares Hill by 1 foot. This dark green island is covered in rare tropical hardwoods such as the island's namesake, Holywood Lignumvitae. It is a great spot to kayak to if you can find a launch point. I think I have found that spot and will explore the island in the future. It is uninhabited and has been turned into a botanical park only accessible by boat.
