but this one charmed me like a kid's crayon drawing: naive and improvisatory feeling

I've lately been having fantasies of a huge antique wooden desk with lots of surface for all sorts of old school desk accessories

Box with Key and Handsome Hen, Sweet c. 1940s Snapshot, Framed As Found sixth plate or paper in contrasting tonesI love a photo of a kid or adolescent standing proudly beside a prized farm animal, and here what a good combination of slightly awkward looking young man and very handsome hen! She's of the Plymouth Rock variety, I believe, and he looks to me pretty smitten with her! I also really like that just to the right of the stump upon which she is perched we glimpse a single key hanging from his belt. I'd call this a valentine of just my sort! Framed: 7 5 8"
