jewels from the river - 7/5/2008 6:09:44 PM    arthur   Posts: 495 Joined: 5/15/2008 From: new river valley VA/WVA border Status: offline It's been a while since I have found such a nice piece.  I call these jewels from the river.  This I found with some bottles while diving yesterday on the 4th.  It is a small tray with a baby chick embossed.  It was a W with something that looks like a horseshoe around the W.   I don't know how old but it looks good on the shelf.

She''s another person that I loved so very much and was an important person in my life. I got her button tin full of buttons after she past away. It was my toy as a little girl. I would sit and string them for hours on end..... But evey time I look at that plate I think of my Nana. I'll have to ask around and see if anyone else remembers a piece like that. It's funny I bought a Big Ben Antique clock just like her's at an estate sale just because I love hearing the ticking and she loved her's. I guess I feel I have a part of her with that clock. < Message edited by Stardust -- 7/6/2008 3:19:45 PM > _____________________________ Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit. -Henry David Thoreau Blessings & Love FOR 2009, star* (in reply to Brains) Post #: 6
