New study-- ARTifacts!

One of the big goals for the past few years is to document some of our family and childhood artifacts. Some of these are well known to all my siblings and still reside in highly prominent positions scattered around ours and our parent's homes.

A photo essay is slowly coming together and if I can ever get them all printed it will make a nice book of memories for the family.


Doll eraser.

If memory serves correctly-- this was just a clever little figure that we often used in our doll playing.

I don't recall any particular role this figure played other than just filling out the audience.
But, it was certainly worth a google and naturally-

I found all kinds of them on ebay! KOKESHI doll eraser.



Little green horse!
This currently resides with a dear sister in Abilene!
Neigh Neigh!

Used in equestrian events and may have played in Josie's Round-up Ranch once upon a time.







Frog Prince-

a gift to Mae from another sister that will remain nameless- but, her name rhymes with bobbin!
They just wanted a picture "just because"! So... here he is! In all his glory.

This isn't necessarily ancient.... we certainly do play with it though!

Sadly... he came to a dreadful demise in the last thunderstorm and lost his head when he attempted a Humpty Dumpty pose and fell off the wall.

Will notify if Dad's glue surgery is successful- haha!
