Long Lost Treasure

I've mentioned before and I'll say it again....I LOVE junk stores. I love the art of the search or the search for the art in this case.


A few years ago....yes, a few years ago, my sister and I spent the day junking. We try to hit as many thrift stores we can in a day. On this day, she took me to the 'new' thrift store in town. It was run by a church and was filled with all kinds of 'treasures'. This particular treasure I spotted from a far...and I remember my sister did too AT THE EXACT SAME TIME! We ran over and pushed some others aside and there it was....

Now, it may not seem like much of a treasure to you, but to us.....well. You see, this picture was done in 1975....by my dad!!
We recognized the style of picture and knew right away! Being from Indiana he drew alot of covered bridges. There are a lot where I grew up! Since our move to Wisconsin, this picture has double meaning. It being drawn by my dad and it being of a covered bridge.
In the move, the glass did get broken. So, I've taken the time to search my local thrift store for a frame. I painted it out and added the mat. The mat is from Walmart for less than $5! It is chair webbing. I love the texture and the color....
I love this Long Lost Treasure!
