Francie Philbrook's Large Red Treen Apple with Horse Roulette miniature pottery shoe You know how much I

You know how much I love fine examples of early penmanship with fancy fraktur lettering

with a small tear to the top edge of the spine

I'd probably hang just as in this from pins in the corners

I'd guess this color wheel was completed by an art student as part of a color theory class--and just beautifully executed

at just the right angle to amplify her high perch and the tower she completes

Francie Philbrook's Large Red Treen Apple with Horse Roulette miniature pottery shoe You know how much IAnother week, another old treen apple, because I love them and because each one is really its own thing, varying in size and age and paint and contents and the life it has led. This one appears to have spent some time in the possession of a young Francie Philbrook, who wrote her name on one of the five gaming chips for the horse roulette game housed inside. It's a fairly early one, and a nice large one, with ball still resting in the roulette spinner.
