quantification & a shrine

shrine under construction:  a stem of fresia, a tiny bowl of water,  ashley mae hoiland's mormon sisters watercolor, crystal necklace from grandma eva in her glass & mirror box, hand written letter from grandma beth with her mother's sewing card.  what does one put in a shrine?  i need candles.

it's nice sometimes to put a number on things.
