Wonderful vintage hand-painted wall plaque by Mel Originals of Lake Worth, Florida, featuring a whimsical folk-art scene of two children sitting beneath a tree, birds, flowers, and a child flying a kite.
The lower portion features lines from Max Ehrmann’s Desiderata, including “You are a Child of the Universe” and the familiar closing sentiment about keeping peace with your soul and striving to be happy.
