This is a great parcheesi board in a Pennsylvania Dutch pinwheel design. The colors are very warm and aged in Barn red, Mossy green, Mustard yellow, Union blue, ivory and black. It comes complete with wooden playing pieces and dice. It is approximately 18"X18" and is available on new pine aged for $55.00 plus S&H or $80.00 plus S&H on antique wood. Please call first for availability of antique boards.
Here is a neat game called Fox and Geese. This game was brought to American during the Revolutionary War by Hessian soldiers. It comes complete with glass marbles and instructions. You can also play solitaire by yourself on this board. The object is to leave one marble in the middle. Good Luck! So you get two games for the price of one! This is a very challenging but fun game to play. I can paint this on new pine and give it a wonderful aged look for $35.00 plus S&H or I can paint it on antique wood for $55.00 plus S&H.

I am very excited to show you all my newest creations! I am making hand-sewn band boxes with reproductions of early fabrics circa 1800-1870's. Most of the boxes are from the civil war period but I will be making some in earlier era fabrics as well. This first box is my absolute favorite. George Washington to me is the greatest man this side of heaven! He has been my earthly hero since I was a very small child. The fabric I have used on this box is circa 1810 and is called "Washington's Legacy". It is rich browns and blues with his picture hand sewn on the lid. All of my boxes are lined with reproductions of old newspapers such as Harper's Weekly or earlier papers. This is an oval box and is approximately 9 inches across the long oval top and is 6 inches tall. I can also make these boxes round or square. The George Washington box is $55.00 plus shipping and handling.
These next two boxes are of General Lee and General Grant. They are both 8 inches in diameter and 5 inches tall. General Grant is lined on the inside with copies from Harper's Weekly newspaper and show scenes from Lincoln's inauguration. General Lee is lined on the inside with maps of the south and a very nice picture of him on the inside of the lid. Lee's material is civil war era fabric called "Harper's Ferry" in gray. Grant's fabric is also a civil war fabric called "Indigo Crossing". Each box is $50.00 each plus shipping and handling.
