From Oaxaca I believe

and am especially partial to figure reclining in the hammock

You know I'm always on the hunt for beautiful old spellers loaded with good words

with wear and paint loss as evident

9 5/8” l x 5” w x 1 “ thick with a lot of age to it

Glorious Antique French Ribbon Swatch Sample Card primitive kitchen box From Oaxaca I believeThis one makes me want to spend all my time searching for antique French ribbon samplers I do believe it is about the most perfectly beautiful thing I've seen or can imagine, a dream in color. Photos give a good sense, silk ribbon, glorious color, handwritten numbers next to each sample, and stamped Clavel and Cie. at upper right. Earlyish 20th c. I believe. 13 15 16" x 10 1 4" open (and why would yopu ever want to close it?!) Very good condition,
