My diploma for my B.A. It took me 8 years to get it. I was the first in my family to get a college degree. |
Beautiful artwork given to me by my friend, Dreama Kattenbraker. She's a local artist who does wonderful and interesting work. |
I am not sure where this came from. Remember when they used to have house parties and sell things? I think from some place like that. I bought it because the colors matched my bedroom. |
A P. Buckley Moss print called "James." |
Another one of those house party prints, I think. It's an old tractor and barn. |
Connie Marsh print of Fincastle scenes. |
A cuckoo clock my mother gave me. |
A photo I took some years ago. |
Main, at Hollins University. |
A country scene that we bought years ago as a "temporary" piece to fill some space. My husband really likes it so it is now permanent, apparently. |
Dulcimers. These instruments hail from the Appalachian region, which is where I live, and are kin to zithers, if you know what those are. |
A P. Buckley Moss print called "Anita." |
My husband's most favorite of his collection of fire department stuff. |

Thursday Thirteen is played by lots of people; there is a list here if you want to read other Thursday Thirteens and/or play along. I've been playing for a while and this is my 436th time to do a list of 13 on a Thursday.
I love the poetry birds. The fireman stuff is cool too! My wall? I'm looking at a picture of John and Yoko at the bed-in and a Rolling Stones cover of the Dixie Chicks naked (except for words written on their bodies).
ReplyDeleteAll pretty cool; I especially like the dulcimers & the mini-fireman's coat.
ReplyDeleteYour dulcimers look great! I'd love to play with them for a while.
ReplyDeleteI remember those house parties where they sold things like makeup and kitchen wear. They always made me feel so pressured. I thought people stopped inviting me to them because I'm such a party pooper. You mean they don't really do them anymore?
Far more hanging on your walls than mine. I like the Connie Marsh scenes.
