A Very Unique One-of-a-Kind

It's Friday so that means show and tell at Kellishouse! Click here to visit Kelli and other show and tells, too!

Short story: My Mom attended Orlando Senior High School. When she was a young mother, the school was torn down. People could purchase fixtures and even the real slate chalk boards before the school demo.

An artist bought the slate chalk boards and made and sold a variety of carvings.

My Papa Sammy bought this one for my Mama Rose, and it was one of my Mom's favorite things in her Mother's home. My grandmother was an interior decorator with real flair and loved unique pieces. When Mama Rose passed, my Mom got it, and in 2004 when my Mom passed, I got it.

It is one-of-a-kind, and is one of 4 priceless treasures from my Mom. It will soon have it's place of honor in a lighted niche in the living room. I can't wait!!
I'll post a pic when it's hung!

It's about 2 1/2 ft. tall and about 18 inches wide. A piece of Orlando's history and a piece of my history, too!!

The artist's signature

Hope you enjoyed my slate "Girl With Flowers".

Thank you for stopping by for a visit!

Fondly,

Becky

WE DID IT! WEDNESDAY

I'm very excited about this new event!!

And it will be beginning next Wednesday!!

What do you think about the logo?? Edie, a wonderfully warm new friend at Rich Gifts Graphics and Blog Design created this custom design!! I use her free scripture tags in my sidebar, too! Thanks again, Edie...just LOVE it!!

WDIW's are something God put on my heart and are designed to promote and encourage quality one-on-one time with our children and grandchildren; thus building into our family's future and rich heritage!

It is a way to share ideas, inspiration, treasured moments, and to motivate us to regularly carve out time for these special people God has blessed us with.

You can post about pretty much anything you have done together, and of course, photos always make for a better post! Be creative!!

Even if you are an empty-nester you can contribute photos from your past or things done with adult children!!

There is no age limit at all!! I will be sharing things done with my married daughter, too!!

I will post Mr. Linky Tuesday night and you can sign up then or Wednesday.

I hope you will all join in!

Please feel free to take the smaller button for your sidebar and begin to spread the word. Just link it back to here. The more the merrier!!

Now to just get this Mr. Linky thing figured out!!

Have a joyful day!!
Becky
