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. :)

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.
