T is for...

Tortoise, of course!
Isn't he the cutest little specimen?
I saw him at a Christmas market, among other beautifully carved wooden objects. His 'shell' is one of my small marbles (which gives you an idea of size). 
His original wooden shell rolled off and is lurking somewhere under my sideboard mixed up with lamp wires and dust-bunnies. Waiting for a strong man to come and move my sideboard. Any volunteers?!

When I push this little tortoise along, his 'wheels' roll and so does the pretty marble!

Thank you to Shirleyray for hosting Tiny Tuesday.
