My great grandmother Mary Fenlon. Not her birthday but couldn’t resist the excuse to post this picture. I love her smile. Born in Jersey City New Jersey, though her dad was from County Carlow and mom from Kilkenny.
These are the pieces that I have that especially reminded me of the Roman piece.
The passenger list for the S.S. Harpswell. Arrived New York City March 25, 1867 from Germany with my Great Great Grandfather Georg Metz his wife Louisa, son Georg, and brother Friedrich.
Reminds me of the Saturday night program on New York City TV when I was a child.
I have an old Royal Doulton teapot that shows similar repair by someone in the past. Makes the piece all the more special.
My Catholic school had the same set back in the sixties.I did bring The Land of Oz home and never returned it. I still have it.
The rain is tremendous today here in Northern New Jersey so I stayed local. This beauty from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. What do you think?
