Hi Katy, Haven't abandoned you, but see now the difficulty. Trying to chip away at it. Think the inscription starts on the right when you have...
Sheepskin jackets were all the rage starting around 1969/70. I had one, except with the fur on the inside. Before that it was rabbit fur.
You had to post that twice, didn't you? Sounds lovely. Can't find much that way anymore. And now my stomach is growling. Grrrrr. :cat:
Love them. Somewhere on the Internet I have also seen cameos cut in the white filling of Oreo cookies with one chocolate cookie layer behind....
