<span data-offset-key="8v2fj-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #741b47;">TIME there is simply never enough time and I am always amazed when darkness shows up and my day for blogging has slipped away. Miss Spring has not yet arrived to my part of the planet yet so the Wiarton Willie from my area told a fib! YUP he said " I didn't see my shadow so an early spring it is.", while Shubenacadie Sam said "Shadow has been seen! Six more weeks of winter! " and I wasn't pleased with his statement, but he got it right this year!!! </span></span></div>

<b><i><span style="color: #741b47;">Tomorrow </span></i></b><span style="color: #741b47;">is a celebrity day for me, once again the age meter is shifting upwards. I can attest it really is old age because it isn't just the body wearing out but the brain is winding down as well! I certainly have become a vintage item!!! </span></div>

<span data-offset-key="8ib4r-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #741b47;">How do us old gals do it? Shoe shopping has become somewhat a nightmare when all you see displayed in the shop windows are verrrry high heels leaving me wondering what kind of tragedy awaits the wearer. In my olden days, there were high heels but never this high, this fine a heel that I would consider not dressing up my wardrobe with a choice of footwear to don that working day. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47;">To my way of thinking, Vintage Shoes are really in demand lately and I see this demand as a safety featured part of your working day and getting through it all in one piece...Try as I might I cannot imagine ever wearing these fashionable heels on the rave in the 21st century! YUP, you guessed it, I am old...</span></div>

Some days I am washed out from the memories these provkoe when I unpack some treasured item which belonged to them, but being a disabled pensioner and living in a tiny space, I have to dispose of these. I see people just sending to the thrift shops or garbage disposal bins, and I just cannot send them to landfill sites, and have sent much already to thrift shops, but these that I list inside my shop need to find new homes. </span></em></div>

They become the teacher on how to with mechanics, basketball, hockey and the sports their sons enjoy playing, they coach, they drive from venue to venue, they pay for the costs of those sports or sporting events, they are strong, they can do anything and everything. This is the generalities of Father's Day and why we celebrate them with reverence as we did last month with our mother. </b></i></span><br />

What ever your reason for your appreciation of this red-brown metal the items made from it can be endless. </i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i>My late mother so enjoyed copper products for her home, she collected it for over 50 years and used it not only to cook with in her kitchen, but used copper as a focal accent in many rooms of her home. Her love of this metal and how it casts its brilliance in a room was as I said focally used, such as planters, and accents which she managed to place in small niches where the shine of the copper would draw the eye to itself and whatever surrounded it. Many times it one piece or another would catch someone's interest and a lengthy conversation would begin, where it came from, did it have history, what was its functional use, if it had a use, etc. </i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i>I am pleased to share some of the many Copper pieces I have in the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/BYGONERA">shop</a> with you today, such as this wonderful Kettle with its Delft blue with white handle. NO, it was never used to boil water in or the making of a pot of tea, but it was a beautiful accent set upon the hearth of the huge fireplace where other smaller copper pieces such as planters or copper jugs were also place and used to hold wonderful succulent trailing pearls of the sea, or a wandering jew. Flowers and plants are a staple in a dutch family home to be certain. </i></b></span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i>I found two exquisite hand made, hand painted Red Clay Masks from a Cuban Artist named Victor CamaGuey. I researched and researched this name and found nothing. If you have ever seen anything like this, or know of this Artist, please take a moment to let me know. I am sure others were made and bought by Canadians on vacation or business in or around Havana. </i></b></span><br />
<b style="color: #741b47;"><i>These were made sometime in the early 1970's and have been carefully packed away for years. </i></b><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i>These are exquisite and one of a kind to be sure. I am not selling them in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/BYGONERA">Vintage Shop</a> due to the American Embargo on anything Cuban. I have done all I can in terms of researching this Cuban Artist, but, found nothing at all. Since Canada has no such embargo, this means I may sell them, just not on any E-commerce Sites such as Etsy.. </i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i>Many people from around the world have chosen Cuba to vacation and have come back having thoroughly enjoyed their stays and brought many Cuban artworks and items Cubans make and sell to the tourists in order to make a little money to augment their meager wages. I know my late Aunt would take two large suitcases filled with items of clothing to leave behind and the contents of these suitcases were just as sought after as were tips for those in service at the hotels. </i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i>IF YOU might be interested in these, contact me, I do wish to sell them, both pieces for $150.00 Canadian currency plus shipping costs of course.

<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i>My father, a Canadian Soldier was a Military career man! From his stint in WWII as a young man right into the 1970's working for the Department of Defense. We moved too many times to count anymore and resettling became a problem while growing through the teen years. We never knew which language or which type of school we'd be in next, the world in the 1950's and 1960's was a magical place to get an education. </i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i>So those little shoes which began their life in Holland as my shoes have seen many a piece of ground as my siblings and I were their masters. </i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i>My mother was a Dutch Girl and of course the Dutch like every other European lost so much during the war years, these shoes managed to remain as they were on my feet as a toddler and even then if memory serves me correctly these belonged to some other child before these were found by my uncle to send me off to Canada with. Must have cost him a pretty penny, a penny he didn't really have in those days. </i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i>You've all heard of the Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood? Well these are the Divine shoes of an Immigrant Toddler!</i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i>Be kind to Refugees because having survived the German occupation and the devastation of loss it was very difficult for people in Europe to become settlers in a new land and trust that where they were bound for would afford them a much better life than what they were leaving behind. </i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i>Leaving their families, their friends, they cultures and being frightened of how they'd be accepted upon arrival in a new country and culture was such a challenge. Some never could settle and some settled right into Canadian Life and as many were farmers, they made themselves keepers of land and growers of food which was needed all over the world due to the costs of war. Battling the psychological I think must have been the hardest of hurdles to overcome. </i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>

I seem to get tired of all this confusion around me that some days are spent not accomplishing very much at all. </i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i>So many new finds in those stored boxes and the efforts to either find them from my memory bank or doing research just to recover the correct history of them. My mother's family became such collectors of possession they had in their families before WWII and somehow when a recovered item or a find they came across, of course it was gathered as quickly as possible. Some items with histories and some just because they had it or something close to "it" before. </i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><i><b>There is no one left but me and I confess growing up among those survivors I too am unable to turn to a disposal bin and see them off to the nether regions of a landfill site. I have such an attachment but my simple little home to which I downsized to just will not accommodate any more of those wonderful family TREASURES. </b></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><i><b>Hopefully there are individuals out there who might appreciate these old and sometimes odd things that they might give them a new home and allow the history of its past to continue. </b></i></span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>I have never been in hospital for anything surgical in all my years, so between my psychological and my physical self, it was quite the shock to my system. </b></span><b style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I am now healing well and the after effects are sort of gone and I am more or less beginning to feel like me again. </b><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>While recuperating I crocheted some tea towel sets because I could do that while lazing away on the couch and finally once I was able to move about more freely I actually pieced a quilt top which I decided not to quilt up but would sell for some one else to have that pleasure.

Small size 6 steps by steps I am regaining some control over my personal space which I haven't seen inside my home in years. </i></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>The younger of the families are really not associated with or into vintage or antiques or the memories with the 100's of items rescued from a plethora of boxes and containers which made up much of my life. </i></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Now I have gone into full throttle Reclamation mode, wanting my home back to enable me once again to set up the sewing room and play with my fabrics and it is my fervent hope that <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/BYGONERA">Bygonera</a> will help me do just that, because I too am getting far older than I am happy about! Much of my Charity work has been set aside for the time being so I might devote more time to making holes (*space*). To this end I have many things with dozens of memories to share with anyone who would care to look and listen...<b>R U READY??</b></i></span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><u><br /></u></i></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Graphik Webfont", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><i><span style="color: #741b47;">I unpacked my late mothers' linen cupboard and unearthed at least 7 Mid Century all Cotton Quilts, one of which remains for sale over at BYGONERA</span></i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Graphik Webfont", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Graphik Webfont", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">THIS single bed sized Embroidered Red and Pink Roses having twelve (12) approximately 13" Blocks and measures </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Graphik Webfont", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">76" in Length by </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Graphik Webfont", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">60" in Width!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Graphik Webfont", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Graphik Webfont", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">There are a variety of pink rose blocks and there are red rose blocks, all of which were Hand Embroidered and then Hand Pieced and Quilted by hand totally made from 100 % Cotton Broadcloth and which the maker termed a Summer Utility Quilt because she used no Batting!</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Graphik Webfont", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Graphik Webfont", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">How do I know all of this, I know because the maker of this and many, many other quilts were made by my Paternal Grandmother! This was my grandmothers' method of relaxation and she made quilts from the time she was a young girl. With little money bedding was expensive, so she made all of their bedding. After 11 children became 11 distinct families, literally everyone has more than one of Grandma's quilts because she made so many of them. My grandmother also made quilts for Military Hospitals during WWII and donated each and every one as she had 6 sons who were all part of Canada's fighting forces....</span><br />

<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">M</span>y introduction to the onset of 2015 hasn't been too bad, if you don't count the many hiccups experienced in the first few days of this new year all brought on by the foul winter weather which made its appearance felt in large all over North America. Suffice is to say the Winter Solstice has been and gone, the days are becoming longer, even if only by minutes each day, spring is in the not too distant future and your life is still 6 inches above the ground! YAY I have made it to 2015! </i></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">F</span>or many Etsy shops 2014 was a stellar year and for others not so great, so this morning I would like to take us into the new year with an introduction of some Tiara's I found being sold. Tiara's are one of those wonderful items we would hardly choose as something we just have to have, but with the advent of "FROZEN" our little princesses certainly have become interested in them and simply sparkle and glow each time a Tiara is placed upon their heads....</i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">T</span>he definition of a Tiara is "a jewelled ornamental band worn on the front of a woman's hair". Since the weddings of Princess Diana and Miss Kate Middleton there has been a resurgence of the Tiara!</i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i>We all are enamoured when watching video clips of the Royals from Great Britain or Europe all dressed for state occasions and are wearing a Tiara, like that which the Great and Beloved Princess Diana wore on her wedding day in 1981, or the Tiara called the "Halo" loaned to Kate Middleton by Queen Elizabeth II for her wedding ceremony to the dapper and fashionable Prince William!</i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<b style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Possibly this year there is a daughter, a granddaughter, a sister, a tween in your circle who will experience the desire for a Tiara, and many may be bought from a number of Vintage shops at Etsy. </i></b><br />
