... A FRIEND ..., BUZZA MOTTO PICTURE,  dated 1942 on reverse, reads "Buzza Motto Copyright MCMXXV" on the bottom of the picture, "A friend is one who takes your hand, and talks a speech you understand, He's partly kindness, partly mirth, And faith unfaltering in your worth;  He's first to cheer you on success, And last to leave you in distress: A friend is constant, honest, true -- In short My Friend, he's just like you!", by Edgar Guest, good condition, blue background has a couple spots that have gone pink (not sure what has caused that) and there is moderate wear on the frame, reverse has  recipient's and giver's name and the date    #MO30050    $15.00

FRIENDSHIP'S ROAD, BUZZA MOTTO PICTURE, 1930's with daisies, flowers path and cottage, gold foil accent around the motto "Friendship is a chain of gold, shaped in God's perfect mold  ..." , 1939 inscription in ink on the backing paper on the back of the print, light stained wooden frame with brown in the recessed steps of the frame, original Buzza hanger, 8" x 10", good condition with some dark spots around the motto from the glue that holds the foil accent in place    #MO28981    $15.00

1930's RELIGIOUS SAYING ON BLUE GLASS MIRROR, "In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Prov. 3:6", wording printed in gold, handpainted flower at the top, 7" x 5",  the back is cardboard and has a cardboard hanger built into the back, good to very good condition with some black spots (damage to the mirroring) around the words "in" and "ways", and a spot near the bottom edge; there  is also a light clouding of the blue under the bottom of the text, none of these defects show on my scan (and probably would not show on a photo either because it is a dark mirror), the one mark on the bottom left of the plaque that does show on the scan looks like it is a scratch to the surface of the mirror, the defects are definitely there, but it does look better than it sounds    #MO30596    $15.00

BENEDICTION
May God's Benediction fall
Upon you through the hours
Of life, as sunshine falls upon
The summer's opening flowers
But should it be that crosses come
To bring you naught but pain, 
Remember, God the Gardener knows
When flowers need rain
