My Natural Curiosity Got The Best Of Me.

I love coffee table books.  Albertus Seba’s “Cabinet of Natural Curiosities” has been on my wish list for some time now.  I kicked myself for not buying a copy for $200 at Anthropologie a few years ago. Now, in minimal production, I am hardly in the market to buy a copy at a $500-$700 pricetag.
A few weeks ago, after seeing this post on Armonia Decors via House of Turquoise I bit the bullet and scored a copy (at $200) here.  Literally two days later I received my InStyle Magazine to see this.
See anything familiar?
