Mementos and Treasures


Working for an auctioneer affords me the unique opportunity to travel through time...



from past to present.


As is with most estate sales, one can glimpse into an individuals lifetime; an accumulation of tokens, mementos and treasures...


items they felt worthy of collecting or preserving.


Tucked away, displayed or coveted, each is a reflection of an era in our lifetimes...

* Items from an estate coming up for auction in October.

Shades of Autumn



Some things occur that bring gladness to our hearts...


such is the colours of Autumn....


Buttery yellows, sunshine oranges and ghostly whites are some of the shades found in this years crop of gourds from my garden.


Even my knitting reflects the beauty of the landscape, from the subtle hue of the grape, to the ochre and taupes of the field...such a glorious season to enjoy.
