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
