Not quite totally wordless. I'm willing to flout convention.
Ever find a gem among the rubbish?
This is a drawing I found among my in-laws stuff. It is pencil drawing of the homestead of one side of my husband's Irish family's. The typing at the top is the text of the hand written note on the back. Turns out that Kitty Elliott is a fairly popular folk artist in Ireland. I had no idea at the time that I kept this, I just liked it. I framed it and now it hangs in my dining room.

Awesome! Seeing as my mil is a pack rat you'd think I would have come across some cool stuff, but nope. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool find! I always think of those antique shows where they tell you how much something is worth!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture, great taste.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. That looks like Ireland to me.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, brilliant idea to cook Keilbasa atop gratin potatos.
Brilliant.
I would eat rocks if served on top of a potato gratin. hee hee
