"The Shepperd family cousins birthday traveling tiara is presented to each cousin upon marking their milestone 60th birthday," posts KerriT/More Main Street. "Those who've reached the mark add a charm before passing it along to the next. So far there's a garnet from Claudia, a guitar from Pete, a carrot from Janet, a ladybug from Bonnie, a butterfly from Johanna, a school bus from Steve, and an artist's palette from Bob." (You can see who is the latest recipient of the traveling tiara and read Kerri's print column here.)
