Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Janet: Carol, I am just reading this.  So sorry for your loss, glad your beloved Don knew the Lord and you have the assurance of his eternity  and that you WILL see him again.  Much love to you.  Janet 2022-06-18, 08:49:36

Carol: Thankful:  Don is home from hospital.  I found him unconscious with head outside on the floor and the rest was in the shower.  At the same moment, one son was walking through the front door to visit.  Two fire trucks came racing in and they took over After 2021-12-29, 22:01:26

Apparently, Italian Swiss.   On the back "Catherina Kaslatter"  and  "Mani Proprie", which I think means "signed with her own hand."



I guess this must have been Mrs. Barbarian's Grandmother's.

What a treasure you have there, and a family heirloom!  It is beautiful.

Very nice carving Barbarian. I'm no scholar but the latin for "signed by my own hand" I think would be
manu rather than mani. This could well mean made by/with my own hand/hands in italian. I'd bet she carved and stained it herself, or did you indicate that already? What a wonderful family treasure! A good photo too.  :)

 Hey B. is the block her name is on a separate piece of wood glued to the rest or does it seem to be all one solid piece of wood? It looks almost like multiple pieces, but hard to tell with the photo.

It's one block.   I really like they way she used the natural color of the wood for skin tones.
