You saw this old sleigh in my Valentine mantel pictures. I found it in January at the flea market for $5.00. Couldn’t believe the price when […]

P52: True Love
I am participating in a project over at My 3 Boybarians called Project52 (P52) which stands for “1 photo each week for a year.” There is an assigned theme each week and I try to take the best photo I can related to that theme. Here is my attempt this week… So it’s Valentine’s week […]
