Natural Antique
Antiques are, without exception, man-made. However, only part of their value can be created by man. The rest is up to time and the elements. Even a restored or “mint condtion” item derives it’s value from the fact that mother nature had her way with all the others that didn’t make it as far.
I just returned from Traverse City where the fruit trees are blossoming and the dandelions are showing off. I’ve started sorting through the images and I will share them soon. Until then, here is an antique found along the way…

Thanks Marrilee, I’m glad you found me! I’ve read about Edward Lumley’s passion for serving in Africa. I assume you’ve seen the West Africa category – I’ve been meaning to write and see if you could mention the site to him?
