This fall I hope to enter one of my own creations into the Salem County Fair- a delicious and pretty fall appropriate pie I've been working on. I've always wanted a blue ribbon- and I know that it will be a nice addition to the kitchen wall of the Coop!
So, what DOES a Salem County Fair ribbon winning still life look like?
THIS!
I acquired this lovely little painting last year at an auction, the ribbon is so sweet, and the still life is delicious- a wedge of Swiss cheese and a sliced red apple on a cheese board, just waiting for us to take a nibble! There is no signature that I can see, but it is titled on the back of the ribbon- "Cheese Board"- a solid, descriptive and accurate name- forthright and honest, I like that.
La Principessa is culling my art collections right now- as you well know from my previous posts from last spring- we need the funds and the space.
I hope that this sweet piece of art goes to someone who will adore it as much as I do.
Here is a link to the auction on ebaY: "Cheese Board"
Put into a cunning basket alongside a wedge of Swiss, a few good apples and a real wood board- this would have a deceptive low price for an original and lovely gift at any occasion!
I'm still worrying over health care plans and legal issues, but I'm here at home enjoying the change of seasons and my Principessa, and I hope to return with another installment on our little story very soon.
I hope I am up there soon so I can taste your prize-winning entry.
ReplyDeleteI can't use that picture but I am looking forward to seeing what else you're going to put on eBay. And I definitely can't wait for the next installment of how you got the Cape Coop.
Can you imagine, no one bid on this adorable painting!
ReplyDeleteOh, Sweetpea, I'd MAIL you some of that good pudding if I thought it wouldn't decorate the insides of the box!
ReplyDeleteI'm WAY behind on everything in life, it seems (except maybe dancing and supper) and so this "early" lunch is even a week late.
It's always SO good to have you drop in!! Hope you're having a wonderful Spring and feeling well.
love and,
