Winter comes
to Northern Indiana. We got 12" of snow in our area.
We knew it
bound to happen sooner or later, it has been cool for a while. One day I look
out and see all of the leaves on our two big red maples out front and the next
thing you know, they’re all laying on the ground. IT COULD BE WORSE, we could
live FARTHER north! And now they are all coverd with white stuff! Oh well!
I look
out and see our neighbors getting ready for the holidays. Some have Thanksgiving décor up and others
jumped right into Christmas.
We have been staying inside
and working on the website. George has
added a lot of his dad’s artwork. As
many of you know, Dad lived to the ripe old age of 99 + ½ years. He had such a
wonderful, full life.
He was an instructor at an Auction School, Buildt models of Steamboats and Outhouses
for museums, Tramp Art boxes, picture frames, sheves, clock cases, and
canes. He was a carver of swords, knifes
and daggers and a world class penman and created such unusual items as
penning the Lord's Prayer on the EDGE of an ordinary business card and on one
side of a toothpick and his name, address and phone number on a single grain of
rice.
I receive emails
from collectors that have Dad’s artwork and sometimes someone will buy something in an
auction or out of a collectors store and want to know if we can tell then
anything about it. Last year a guy had bought a beautiful old flourishing Dad
had made and wanted to know if it was really his. Those are fun emails.
His hand
drawn pictures and flourishing are beautiful framed. I encourage you check him out on the website.
We own a large collection of dad’s original works! And will be adding new items
all this winter.
Have a Great
Holiday Season
