I've got a shelf, and there's a narrow ledge for narrow things. I'll post pictures when the camera lens cover replacement arrives

Thank you, Debra.
There is a funny story about that paper crane. I use to work in the office at my Catholic Church as the Director of Religious Education and part time secretary. One day while at work, our Priest noticed these 4 women coming to the rectory and they were Jehovah's Witnesses and would drive Father nuts trying to "convert" him.

They really were obnoxious and came once a month to "talk" to him and they'd sit in his office and argue with him about their faith vs. Catholicism. Father was such a gentle soul and he just couldn't take them anymore.
So, he asked me to lie to them (yeah, the Priest ASKED me to lie!

) and send those women away. Well trying to even tell them that took 20 minutes, becuase they'd put foot in the door and would just be bullies about it and not take a "No" for an answer. I did finally get rid of them, but the one lady handed me the above paper crane and told me she made it for me.
I've had it ever since then as my momento for the day I "saved" our Priest.

Everyone in the office were at the office door listening to me as I stood in the hallway trying to push them out and away and Father was "hiding" upstairs also listening. After they were LONG gone down the walkway and out of earshot everyone came out laughing and congratulating me for getting rid of the most obnoxious and ignorant people we were forced to deal with on a regular basis. I sort of see that paper crane as my "Prize". I know it is symbolic of good fortune, and it certainly DID bring us that and some peace for a few days w/those people.
Looking forward to your pictures too!
