Sunday Stills....History

It was hard to decide which bit of history to post...we are so surrounded by history here in the valley and in this ancient house. I turned mostly to the china closet this time, for things of mine and favorite possessions of my late mother in law.

Here is a blue vase of hers, a souvenir of the 1934 World's Fair

And here is a button from my parent's antique store, which has been closed for years. I was just a little kid when I found it among the assorted stuff piled high on the dusty tables. They let me have it and I have always kept it through many many homes. It is about the size of a quarter.

Mom gave me this



And Dad gave me these


Found this up in the three bay shed



And this old cow bell belonged to the boss's mom too
It rings with a loud and raucous clang
that must have rendered the wearer easy to find on long ago foggy mornings.
