with birds of many colors in flight

I'm a total sucker for a good puppet

I also believe these have the power to change the whole nature of one's day--sitting over coffee with one in hand feels a little like feeling the earth beneath bare feet

So this sign would surely once have been hung just outside the Charge of Quarters' office

Arizona Welcomes You, Iconic and Rather Poignant c. 1940s Snapshot coral specimen with birds of many colorsAn iconic feeling snapshot of an iconic feeling late 1930s early 1940s "Arizona Welcomes You" sign, which certainly seems to beg the question now of who the "you" is. One occasionally sees an old snapshot of a tourist or two posing next to this very sign or one similar to it, but void of people and tightly framed this snapshot feels to me particularly poignant in this moment. 3 1 2" x 2 1 2"and in excellent condition.
