Some of my favorite memories from my childhood happened at my grandmother’s house. When my sister and I were younger our family spent nearly every weekend at Grandma’s.

Like everyone else, I presumed the look-a-like canvasses to be fakes. At $60 a pop, how could they be otherwise? Except they weren't.
