Mantel Re-do

Two Goebel birds from W. Germany.  First loved by Stan's sister, Katherine.  I cherish them.



This is the right side of mantel.  A large candlestick that a dear friend carved for my mother.
Some old books with a silver urn (one of a pair) I've had for years.  I filled it with seed balls for Fall.

Recently, I was digging in a box at the Salvation Army.  This old print caught my eye.  It took me back to the old Parker Place, the lane, the barn, Earl and Stella's house.  I loved the colors.  The frame was all beaten up.  I talked myself out of getting it.  It was $2.00.  I went back a week later and it was still there.  It came home with me.  All I did was rub the frame good with scratch cover.  The black urn on the left is gone now.  Just too much.



I bring these out every Fall.


I love the colors of these seed balls......and the old books.



Carved pheasant that Stan's sister had.

Have a blessed Fall.
