I was lucky enough to receive this gorgeous piece of family history for my birthday recently. My Oma (Grandmother) was given this from her brother in 1953! He made it from cardboard and painted it..... I have always loved it and as Oma is getting on she is giving her goodies to those who loves them. She is 86 now and amazingly her brother Franz who made it is 92 and still going strong.... It is great to watch, when the breeze catches it the couple cut the wood. I have to find a suitable stick for them to cut to complete the scene. I feel so lucky to have such a gorgeous piece.....

Wow Mon, isn't it gorgeous. And amazingly, survived in such fabulous condition, considering it's only made from cardboard...i know you will treasure it..

I always loved that thing too Mon. Glad it will be there to bring back memories every time you cook me a roast dinner. ;)
