2. A SMALL, HANDMADE ZIPPERED BAG FROM GUATEMALA THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME AS A GIFT in 1981.

3. A LITTLE BAG OF POTOURRI FLOWERS THAT I BOUGHT IN PORTLAND, Oregon in 1985 (AND WHICH I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT INSIDE MY SMALL, COLORFUL BAG IN #2)

4. THREE, DRIED LIMES THAT ARE AS HARD AS ROCKS [WHICH I PLAN TO JUGGLE ONE OF THESE DAYS]

5. A SMALL GOURD THAT MAKES A GOOD MARAKA
