In an antique store, I found a scale model of a section of the gun decks from the Swedish warship Vasa, in a glass case. (The one that sank less within half an hour in its maiden voyage.) Very professionally made, like you'd see in a museum. I had to have it.

Best thrift store find was a wool jacket for $10. It's so comfortable, it's my daily jacket when the weather is cool.
