Antique Concealment Shoe Found in New Hampshire Homestead portland but I haven't been able

but I haven't been able to find much of anything about him

perhaps because the birds seem happier and more abundant than ever this year

I just think they are incredibly beautiful objects as well as very fun to play

with what looks like some yellow paint to the larger as what I imagine was a happy accident

Is he on his way to a secret tryst

Antique Concealment Shoe Found in New Hampshire Homestead portland but I haven't been ableI loved finding this one, a "concealment shoe" discovered in the wall of a 1700s homestead in New Hampshire, which I purchased from a MA based dealer during New Hampshire Antiques week.
