Also, I'm a great Downton Abbey fan. Can't get enough of it. A friend of mine sent me a YouTube spoof on D.A. and even that was fun to watch! At the time I was watching Downton, I was reading 'The Titled Americans' about three American sisters from a wealthy family who all married into Aristocracy. One of them was Jennie Jerome, Winston Churchill's mother. It was a fascinating book!<br /><br />I'm your newest follower. I figured we had enough in common that I'd like to keep track of your blog. :-)Cranberry Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758563068581561194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208458117818248970.post-61139285716337077562012-04-26T06:16:24.702-04:002012-04-26T06:16:24.702-04:00Olive~ Your watering can is SPECTACULAR!

A black background, with floral motifs like that is pure waterways material, and yours is a nice, well made example. Google up 'English narrow boat art', and you'll see what I mean. Nice find. Here in the 1960s, everyone was making American patchwork quilts, but we have an American museum in Bath which has many examples dating back to the 1700s - real collector's pieces. Nice finds too.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208458117818248970.post-57001386492918182192012-04-23T15:57:11.558-04:002012-04-23T15:57:11.558-04:00Darling watering can!!
