To think this piece of paper is 75 years old, or almost. I can't even begin to guess what grade Granny would have been in when she made it but there is her name at the bottom, Janice C. I think it was probably elemetary school, don't you? So this fine piece of art was made somewhere around 1930, give or take a few years. Granny was born February 8, 1920. You can remember 1920 if you know I was born in 1950 when Granny was 30! :) To think that Granny's mother, my Granny Coe, protected this school project and then Granny kept it safe (how?!?!) from nine children for 50+ years. That knocks my socks off!
I love the daffadils. I love having it for a little while. I will take it back when we sort the rest of Granny's life.

I say keep it! I won't tell! That IS amazing that her artwork has made it through all the years and moves.
That is amazing! I just read somewhere that someone preserved all that stuff by taking a picture of it and putting it in a blog! But for me it wouldn't quite be the same as having the original!
