This terrific vintage set of round stacking blocks on post would be a great gift for a child

with these black painted eyes with deep holes for the pupils at their centers

with the Kansas City Star writing

Antique Pennsylvania Folk Art Mirror with Painted Bird earthy brown stoneware bowl This terrific vintage set ofEverything about this mirror with bird (original to it) is a a little wonky, which is much of what I love about it! The carved and polychromed bird veers just a hair to one side (which seems to be how it was made) and shows paint loss in a couple of spots, and the mirror is all kinds of aged all of which adds up to a thing with, to my eye, a whole lot of charm and personality. I know this was found in Pennsylvania and looks Pennsylvania German to me.
