“Lest we forget”

“Lest we forget”

Remembering our ANZACS, for the sacrifices of those who have died and been injured in conflict, should not be forgotten and that their service should be honored and remembered.

We live in a blessed country, full of opportunity to anyone willing to give it a good crack! Thanks to those soldiers that lay their lives down for us, so we could all have good, safe lives, with every opportunity, compared to many other countries around the world…

As I did moving here with absolutely nothing, aged 17 to start a new life, created four beautiful children, built a successful business and have had a great life, even better now after all these years 🙏

 

Caravaggio, coming soon…

Leading up to my closure of allpressinc, extended to June 30th or earlier. I’m bringing some unusual pieces in to sell.

The beauty of Green or My Love Affair With Green 💚

Continually adding pieces from my private collection to my shop stock and noticing how fast they sell. Many of my customers share my taste✨
The wonderful Green Majolica plate I took from my cupboard at home (not easy) was like it was glued to my shelf!
Included in my display and sold. I remember driving back from selling customers perfect pieces for their home in Carramut, Western District, parked outside a dealer’s closed shop, rang him and waited while he drove to his shop to sell to me. I’ve so loved this piece.
Having a half price 50% off sale helped I’m sure.
The Joy Peck painting also sold while I was taking these photos (touches of green)
And the Portuguese Cabbage Ware Tureen with ladle and under plate sold too.

Elizabeth Blackwell. A Curious Herbal. 1737 - 1739.

Elizabeth Blackwell. A Curious Herbal. 1737 – 1739.

Such a fascinating, gifted woman from the early 18th century. Certainly one of my top five botanical engravers in history.
I’ve sold many of her pages over the past four decades.
Having recently purchased several copies of a re print of “A Curious Herbal” I decided to give a copy with each sale of an original Blackwell until all copies are gone.

Look under “Works of Art” – “Botanicals” or scroll through my instagram page to see my latest unframed Blackwell arrivals
