I found this terrific set of vintage school supply alphabet felt flannel board letters, A through L...
These letters are great as vintage school-teacher memorabilia or for mixed media art....

_Of course my kids and I immediately started wondering what words we could make out of these letters....

__Fun stuff!
I love doing things like this!
Kind-of like playing Boggle.
My family loves playing that game!
I'm not very good at it...  I keep thinking of Dutch words, which my family says I can't use...
Go figure!
