Peter Pan Woodland Club

-
Image
  I found this small gravy boat years ago in an antique shop in Virginia.  I believe it is from the Peter Pan Woodland Club of Big Bear, California.  The Woodland Club was a premier resort and development, established in 1927.  The main club house burned down in 1948. I have looked and looked and have so far not found any dishes with this logo.  There is paperwork -membership cards, books, certificates and such, no dishes.

It's nothing fancy but the frogs are enjoying it.  My son helped get the rocks sorted out.  We've changed it a bit from what is was.  No waterfall, we might have a small amount of water somewhere in the back left corner, just haven't decided yet.  This is my view from my kitchen window, I've missed it!

Gray Tree Frog

-

He's a lot smaller than he looks!  He's sitting in a small tree by our water garden.  I was moving some rocks and reached to steady myself.  I just happened to see this little guy, or girl.  We just put a new liner in, after hard to believe, five or six years of needing one.  Lots of tadpoles already.  I'm working on getting the plants in, now that the weather has warmed up.  I'll try and post photos soon.

    I found this several years ago and have had it displayed at the top of a cabinet.  I have been moving things around, so I thought I would pass it on.  It's a nice brass birdcage made by Hendryx.  You can see more photos here .

Palmer Cox Brownies

I recently found a nice collection of Palmer Cox "Brownies".  These are trade cards with his signature creatures in different military costumes.  They were put out by Dannemillers & Co., with their coffee.  You could collect the cards to spell Cordova, and turn them in as premiums to purchase items.  The information is on their backs.  These cards are in very good condition  -you can find them here .
