Recipe for a Day

Nov 08 2008 Published by under Uncategorized

Foreword in Cooking can be fun , The Woman’s Guild of Messiah  Evangelical Luthern church, Minneapolis , Minnesota.

“Recipe for a Day’

Take  a little dash of water

and a little leaven of Prayer;

add a little bit of morning gold;

Dissolved in the morning air.

Add to your meal some merriment,

and a thought of Kith & kin,

and then, as your prime agreement,

a plenty of work thrown in.

But spice it all with the essence of Love,

and a little whiff of play,

Let a wise old book and a glance above

Complete a well made day.

The Beauty of Unsigned enamel copper Jewelry

Nov 05 2008 Published by under Copper, Unsigned

Once again, Copper Jewelry just takes my breath away.

Copper & enamel jewelry was very popular as  DYI in Homes in the 1940′s and 1950′s.

Families would buy craft kits & apply enamel onto copper.  And of course , thousand were probably made at camp
Amazing colorful items were produced.

This unique tie clip is signed “wally”
