Happy Thanksgiving

What are you thankful for?

Hand Painted Peacock Fan

This is a large vintage Burwood fan that I bought at an auction. Burwood only made their home decor items in one color, brown. How dull is that. As soon as I saw the fan come up for auction, all I could see was a Peacocks Feathers. I took the fan home and painted it myself to resemble the feathers of a peacock. I have since then searched, ordered, found and bought 20 or more of these same fans and am in the process of painting them. Of course, all I see is Peacock Feathers. Perhaps someone else can see other colors for it.

Family crest

This is the sword of Baggett, and crest that also came with a beautful seal and letter about where the family name came from. Do you have a family crest. I think it is so cool to find out where we all oringially came from, I wish I could travel to the places and read all about my own family.
