the homestead dump on the farm my mother grew up on as 100 years ago they were throwing out bottles and tins and things that were real. Do an archealogical dig to see. Lucky you got to look around. I went into my mom's house once when the new owners let us walk around, some of the furniture my grandmother sold with the house but it was not ours so i could not get any keepsakes. My aunt refused to look around the house with us it was so emotional for her. I have a sketch of the homestead my wall. Not as nice as your paintings. You are lucky to have them both.
