When the Tab on the left is pulled, the inside of the house is revealed.
*Nel, was the name of my Grandfather's
horse
used to pull his Tea Wagon in the late 1800's.
He sold specialty blends of Tea in Rochester, NY. such as Formosa,
Oolong, Orange Pekoe, Dejarling, English Breakfast among others.
Grandfather gave out sample Coffee
packets, with Tea sales,
in hopes of increasing Coffee Sales.
While I wanted to paint a Tea Wagon in
this card, it would be too
dark, distracting from the rest of the piece.
