Swarming Gulls Over Moody Sea Old Oil Painting on Wood Panel handmade old puppet I especially love how there

I especially love how there is lots of empty space around them

One tiny split in the wood on one side at the tip of the handle

to the chickens pecking away on the green next to the train tracks

This vase is signed on the bottom with what might say "Hiller"

I love these old school slates
