Yesterday I received a package in the mail from my dear mom. Inside was this beautiful and very old cameo.
My mom's sister received this cameo from a neighbor when my mom was about 14 years old. Her sister didn't want it so she gave it t my mom. My mom has kept it all these years and has now passed it on to me.
Thank you mom! I love it!!!
It has a crack in it but it doesn't take away from the beauty of it...

I can't get my link to work! I haven't had this problem before with your site...I don't know what is going on. If it's not too much trouble, could you post it? I did a post on how to make a dining room table from recycled barn wood. Here's the link:
