This Pitcher by Richard Wilhelmi  was a graduation gift long ago.

The baskets , on right from a trip to Mexico, lovely basketry.
The one on the left was an easter basket one year, it makes a good sewing basket.


These masks are from Guerrero MX, where masks are famous. 
This artists was doing something very different, in black and white. 
The scenes are of farmers in the fields, and swimming.


This is a bear print by a Seattle artist.
The frame was more than the print that I found at a junk store for 35.00.


These gold shoes are from the roaring 20's. They're a 6 1/2 narrow, from Philadelphia.

It's filled with fun wind up toys.

One the left in white with black and gold is an old piece of mine, a vase.
