This little carving was a gift from my mom
One of my favorite toys when I was small.Very plain plastic horses cost a nickle up at the dime store.
Just slightly fancier ones were ten cents.
This guy cost thirty-nine cents and it took me a good while to save it I can tell you.
My dad carved this wood duck in 1983
For more Sunday Stills

Did your mom carve the cow? So cute. :)
Very cool, some great talent there..:-)
Loved your selections.
Such enormously charming pieces! Thanks for showing them to us. I especially love that little cow with her heavy pink udders.
I love the second one..the action shot! :) Cool choices ;)
Nice ones, I love the toy!
Your parents are very talented woodcarvers..I can see that your Mom has a sense of humor! :)
Great talent there. I knew you'd have a cow statue of some kind;)
Dibear, no she bought it for me at a carving club show. It is a great favorite of mine...thanks

WW, thanks, I am very fond of the cow and keep her posed in front of a framed cow illustration from a very old book. lol
WB, thanks, my favorite too...lots of good memories in that little old horse
LIsa, thanks, he is my favorite too. It was SO hard to save my nickels to buy him so he has always meant a lot to me
Far Side, thanks, although my mom is a fine carver I must admit she bought the cow for me at a carving club show...sorry I wasn't clearer. She is a wonderful painter, amazing writer and talented seamstress too. I love the wonderful artistic quilts she has made us
LInda, lol, thanks, you know me too well. It was hard to choose which one, but I like this old girl..
Nice shots. Like the hand made pieces. Means more.
