Carol's Book of Watercolor Vegetables (and a Watermelon)! sterling silver holding a cache of collected

holding a cache of collected rocks or shells

the patient work of the oxen

with a little wear to the box

Carol's Book of Watercolor Vegetables (and a Watermelon)! sterling silver holding a cache of collectedI purchased a handful of works done (and all signed, some twice!) by the young Carol who made this booklet quite a good many years ago, and I think it's my favorite of the lot for the pumpkin on the cover, yes, but especially for the less showy potato and expressionistic watermelon! 5 3 4" x 4 3 8". Pages are held together with greenish thread pulled through two small holes in the paper and tied in a bow. Cover shows a little staining pencil smudging
