This verse caught Don's eye while reading the Readers Digest, author unknown.  Matted and framed it makes a great and different wedding / anniversary gift.  If you have a favorite verse, poem, song, tribute, wedding invitations, award, etc. I could help you pick out the layout, background color, matt, and frame to enhance it.

Fry Farm is an autobiographical story of Taffy's summer on her Grandparents farm, Fry Farm. . . all the pictures are in color and taken from original oil paintings as is the cover.  The price is $12.50  plus $ 2.00  shipping or stop by shop.  Taffy had an offer, from a California publishing House, to purchase her book-rights.  "Turning them down was the best thing to do for me.  If I had sold the rights they woulds have had the right to change anything they wanted.  I wanted to keep the copyright as it was a very personal story and should not be altered just enjoyed."  It is a  great book to help chrildren experience the changing times from then to now.

This tiny (2-1/2" high x 4-1/2" wide x 1-3/4" deep)hand-made "window-room" is a replica of a picture on one page of the book, Fry Farm.  The walls of the barn and the stable were made from actual wood from the barn at Fry Farm...Yes! that is Taffy sitting with her kittens.  This dear keepsake was made by Don for Taffy.  Do you have a special memory you would like a "window-room" to memorialize?  Priced according to your subject, please inquire.
