Home Is...Art on the Walls

My friend Sandy from Reluctant Entertainer is hosting
her weekly Wednesday "Home Is..." and asking us
to feature art or pictures on our walls.
I thought I'd share my set of
Alfred Meakin plates featuring Audubon's
Birds of America. These hang on my
dining room wall. My antique-collecting
friend gave them to me when I helped her
decorate her newly built home. I love
antiques and I love birds...perfect! :)
Please visit all my friends sharing their
art and pictures on
their walls by clicking HERE!

  24. Glad you saw the marriage license. I didn't know if it was clear enough to be seen. My grandmother got married in 1906! By the way, we must be kindred spirits. I love birds! Thanks for your kind comment.
