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 🙏
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.
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
I have hundreds of pieces to clear.
Over 100 pieces of art, rare 17th to 20th century pieces of furniture.
Ceramics, glassware including contemporary, mirrors etc…
Today Mali Moir’s most recent magical works arrived.
I’m doing this quick post, including a brief showcase of our working history and friendship over the years.
