with no loss of layers

Encased forever in the domed glass on top is a garland of flowers and leaves

to nails at either end via which they could be threaded together to form one long train

I love a piece of tabletop architecture made from scratch of tin

Scarce Grenfell Mission Wooden Handle Clutch with Needlepoint Dog and Figure in Green Parka 1920s pocket mirror with no loss of layersI'm a huge fan of most everything produced by Grenfell Mission Industries, but had never come across one of these wooden handled clutch purses with needlepoint before.

Grenfell Mission was a social and medical mission
