And who wouldn’t want this a statue of a woman with a bunch of grapes stuck to her hair?

mommy will you buy me one of those dolls?
You have such an eye for art, Christine. By the way, I love the quilt! M
I wish I was lucky enough to find such an item. I just come across twenty-something year old cutlery and dishes.
I HAVE to have that no smoking sign!! where did you find the treasure?
