I really like your first two instruments. I went with a guitar also.

Ooh, good shots. I didn't even think to use Sammi's Cello.

Those are all great shots for the theme. I think your old violin is beautiful.

Cool idea! I also would not have thought of instruments. Love all of the photos and choices!

What a cooincidence - I got out my maracas this week - from Mexico, my family must have taken a trip to there...
I have carted them about from house to house all my life, (I think 16 or more houses) but am uncluttering now...
I have become a fan of unclutterer.com :)
Oh, and I only had one.

Where'd you get that cool Slow photo hunters logo & listing on the side of your page? I keep meaning to jump into the photohunt thing...and then I forget. Yeesh what a pitiful attention span I have!
