Folk Art White Painted Church with Removable Roof antique rose painting which I will always scoop

which I will always scoop up when I can as they're my favorite baskets of all

in this case I think it's wounds here and there amid the rocks and choppy waters rather add to its effect

of which there are a good number here

with one tear at one corner that allows one to see (and extract a card from) inside

Not an especially skillful carving

Folk Art White Painted Church with Removable Roof antique rose painting which I will always scoopI've been finding it hard of late to find folk art buildings I like of a manageable scale, so I was very glad to find this church art Brimfield, with lift off roof, which I believe was constructed to be illuminated, as there is a little carve out for a cord on the back. Well constructed with nice clean lines and nice old paint, and indeed a good, and easy, one to put a light or a few electric candles inside to set aglow. 12 1 4" w x 5 3 8" d x 16 3 8"
