Do you ever take some photos thinking you want to blog about the subject and then forget?
Happens to me all the time.
But I did remember and found the photos from October that I wanted to share.
Subject is fraktures.
Saw this in Williamsport PA at the Historical Society Museum there. A fantastic museum by the way if you are ever in Williamsport. Its full name is the Thomas T. Taber Museum.
The reason I took the above photo and the one below is because my mother painted fraktures.
My thinking was I would feature the house blessing my mother made for us. Here it is below.
Mom's birthday was December 7th. She would have been 104.

...Marcia, you have a wonderful keepsake from your Mother.
Your mother was a very talented lady. I've never heard of "fraktures" before.
I like your mother’s piece.
"Frakture" is a new term to me. I live and learn. Over many years I have visited museums in small communities and they are without exception fascinating, providing glimpses into the past. Sadly, they seem to be infrequently visited. I remember once visiting an historic synagogue in New York State. It was mid afternoon and I was the first visitor. But it was wonderful to have the custodian all to myself, and it was an exceptionally rewarding visit.
Beautiful blessing, and so precious because your mother made it for you those years ago!
