silver cup!
i am now womens' novice foil champion of sussex! (meaning i am no longer a novice and now a fully fledged intermediate) and that silver cup is the first sports trophy i've ever won. the horrid (yet proud-making) marble blocks are my awards for first in foil and third in epee. i am swaggeringly pleased.

I think you need to build yourself a trophy case, though. Something tasteful, in teak, with inlaid lights and green baize should do it.
