Frog Went A-Courting

Million Dollar Owl Painting found in an Attic

Alone and warming his five wits, 

The white owl in the belfry sits.

I can't believe this wonderful story. I also cannot believe I am able to find such interesting news and articles on Instagram. This story will have you running to your attic to rummage around if yours is packed and you have no idea what's up there. That's what happened when a lady had to move things for a plumber in hers.

"Everyone dreams of finding that one priceless item hiding in the corners of a dust-ridden attic. One UK teacher recently experienced the joy of rescuing such a forgotten antique, all thanks to an old owl painting that turned out to be worth nearly a million dollars."

Read the entire story on The Huffington Post. Enjoy this beautiful November Saturday as I shall. xo
