April 10, 2000 my husband, Cam and I
bought Discovering ANTIQUES. Cam’s initial
involvement could not be maintained due to full
time employment. I, on the other hand, worked part
time and had some editorial experience from my four years
with Reader’s Digest (Canada), Book Department, as well
as numerous non-profit organizations’ newsletters, etc.; so
jumped in with both feet and relished all the fascinating subjects to be researched and written about. Much to my utter
surprise (probably based on my naivety and blind enthusiasm) I discovered that selling ads was what demanded the most
time. In order for the publication to survive and grow, the advertiser base had to increase. I do NOT like sales! But, as
the years have passed and the magazine’s reputation has grown, so have the advertiser base and the circulation. I will
also say that due to my travels I have met and come to know many dealers, auctioneers and show promoters. Some have
become friends as well as advertisers. What a fascinating business – totally unpredictable with regard to both product
and their trends as well as how it fairs as an industry. You never know when you will stumble across an item that dates
back to a time and era of our forefathers before they ever thought of migrating to Canada. Oh, the stories it could tell!
As Discovering ANTIQUES has evolved, so have I. Many mistakes have been made but never intentionally and hopefully,
never a second time! My first look at each new issue is still a thrill and I am pleased with the growing interest from
dealers primarily who provide the interesting selection of articles that have been included in the magazine. Occasionally
a private collector is willing to share information on whatever subject is their passion because I learned in the six years
I worked at the antique shop that a collector has researched, studied and knows about whatever it is that he/she collects.
Learning about antiques and collectables is like peeling an onion - each subject, be it buttons or porcelain or furniture,
has its own subtopics dealing with the age, style, production, country of origin, etc. etc. The other learning curve about
antiques and collectables is the collector. Why some people collect certain things is still a mystery to me.
Hopefully each issue of Discovering ANTIQUES brings some insight into a subject of interest to you or introduces you to
something that you were not aware of before! AND…each issue has a wealth of advertisers where treasures can be found!
Watch for future articles with interesting stories and comments from dealers as well as some personal anecdotes and
special memories from over the years.

May/June 2010 • 7 PART I
The French Connection
A look at the life and style of King Louis XIV, XV and XVI
by Catharina VanTooren, Calgary, AB
King Louis the XIV
A major part of “antique”
furniture sold today appears
to be a reproduction
inspired by eighteenth
century styles. In order to
know and recognize the
distinct styles of Louis XIV,
XV and XVI we should go
back in time and try to
spread some light on this
subject and familiarize
ourselves with their
individual characteristics in
a multi-feature article.
Louis XIV (quatorze) 1638-1715 The “Sun King” or “Le Roi Soleil”
Upon the death of his father King Louis XIII, Louis XIV became King of France in 1643, but he was only five years old!
His mother, Anna of Austria, became his regent and ruled France together with First Minister, Cardinal Mazarin. Only in
1661, upon Mazarin’s death, (Louis was then 23), did he gain full control and his ensuing reign is seen as a turbulent period
in which the power of France and the prestige of the French Court seemed untouchable in the eyes of entire Europe. His goal:
absolute power. His desire: pomp and splendour. This need to surround himself with luxury and magnificence was largely
envied by other European Courts as they attempted to copy and possibly outdo his lavish style. No one succeeded! Louis XIV is
well remembered to have said “L’etat c’est moi (the state I am)” and “un roi, une loi, une fois (one king, one law, one belief).”
He named himself “le Roi Soleil.”
He was married to Maria Theresia, daughter of King Philip IV of Spain, but had many mistresses, one of them being
Madame de Montespan. Upon Maria Theresia’s death Louis married Madame de Maintenon. Both ladies influenced his
ostentation.
Versailles
The Baroque or Louis XIV- style
It all started with the building, in Baroque style, of
the Castle Vaux-le-Vicomte, south of Paris, by the Minister
of Finance Nicolas Fouquet. All aspects of the interior
were designed and partly made by Charles le Brun, a man
of universal talents and great artistic skills. This became
the time when a decorator played an important role in the
world of Arts and Furniture design. From that moment on, a
specific piece of furniture, for instance, was known as a “le
Brun.” The gala opening of this castle was a huge success to
the envy of the King. Through manipulation, and sparked
by jealousy, Louis XIV accused Fouquet of wrongdoings.
Poor Fouquet spent the rest of his life in prison while Louis
confiscated his castle, his possessions, and acquired the
craftsmanship of le Brun, as well as that of Andre le Nôtre,

Meubelkunst
designer of the impressive gardens at Vaux-le-Vicomte.
Both were commissioned to change a hunting lodge at
Versailles, which was built by Louis XIII in 1624, into more
suitable quarters for the entire Court of Louis XIV. It took le
Brun and le Nôtre from 1669 to 1688 to transform this lodge
into a palace fit for Louis and his entourage.
It is worthwhile knowing a little bit more about the
design of this world-famous palace, as all successors of
Louis XIV resided at Versailles. It is also the palace where
many intrigues took place and conspiracies plotted. The
floor plan is as such that the left side of the centre is a
mirrored image of the right side. The side pavilions are
set perpendicularly on each corner of the centre building
creating an inner court, le cour d’honneur. Apartments
May/June 2010 • 9 are placed in long rows. The midsection contains the
staterooms, halls, salons and the impressive Galerie des
Glaces (mirrored salon) as well as the King’s and Queen’s
quarters situated on either side of the center. The cross

sections housed the royal housekeeping and ministers. The
Royal bedroom is precisely located on the center axis and
faces symbolically east towards the rising sun. Twice a day
members of the royal family and other dignitaries witnessed
the King’s waking up and retiring to bed, the “grand levee”
and “le grand coucher.” Selected to be present at this daily
ritual was seen as a huge honour. Not being selected led
to envy and underhanded schemes. There were almost a
thousand apartments including the royal chambers for the
thousands of people who lived and worked at the palace. It is
surprising to know there were no toilets and only one actual
royal bathroom, although Louis XIV had been known for
not using these sanitary facilities!
In 1661 the new minister of Finance, Colbert, acquired
on behalf of the court, the weaving facility of the Gobelin
brothers where at one time or another 67 high-warp looms
were in use. They were to manufacture tapestries exclusively
for Louis XIV, designed according to specifications of the
King and under the leadership and guidance of le Brun. In
1677, the “Manufacture Royale des Meubles de la Couronne”
opened its doors. This state-organized factory contained a
series of small workshops. All skilled sculptors, engravers,
gold and silversmiths, weavers, furniture makers, etc., were
encouraged to submit designs and examples (like a blue
print) before royal approval could result in the production
of such. In other words, the Court meddled in the Arts.
This, however, enforced a homogenous style which in turn
became the official style of Louis XIV.

well as chairs. Furniture was 3-dimensional with finished

on front viewing. Decorative details included intricate
carvings, metal mounts (pewter), ivory, mother-of-pearl

May/June 2010 • 11 These days one still speaks of the Boulle technique
when referring to marquetry. Other motifs include cloven
hoofs, fauns and nymphs, acanthus leaves, sun rays, lion’s
masks, the French lily, St. Jacob’s shell and fruit and flowers.
Tapestries and velour also featured intricate designs. Due
to France’s territorial explorations many exotic woods like
ebony were used, as was locally found oak, chestnut and
fruitwood. After 1700 other woods such as amaranth,
rosewood, lemon and olive wood were used as well, but
mainly as a veneer in the marquetry manufacture.

and tortoise shell applications, painting and gilding, inlay
and marquetry. The latter was perfected by Andre-Charles
Boulle (1642-1732) from Switzerland. He was a genius in
his field and quickly employed by Louis’s court, just like le
Brun. At first he used naturalistic designs in the Dutch style,
like tulips and roses, but as his experience advanced, he
opted for grotesque and arabesque styles.

May/June 2010 • 13 Collecting Pocket
Watches
by Fred Hauck, Collector, Redcliff, AB
Anyone who knows me is aware that
over the years I have collected just
about everything. Some of my favourite
collections emerged much later than
others, one being pocket watches, which
I began in the 1990’s. I always liked
anything old or old ways of doing things.
I had modern wrist watches (battery,
digital) as a kid; later I acquired a few of
the Westclox Dollar Watches to use. I now
use either the Westclox Dax or Pocket Ben.
Dollar watches get their name from the watch’s
obvious price of a few dollars. They were sturdy and
economical. A lot of farmers bought them, usually tying
a shoe lace or leather strap to hang from a pocket, or
a belt loop for easy access. Some old farmers, I have
heard, refer to them as the old John Deere; the loud
ticking reminded them of an old two-cylinder tractor.
There were many variations of the Westclox watch, a
white face with black letters being the most common.
Black-faced ones with glow-in-the-dark white letters
were not really common, but still can be found. Others
like green dials (faces) or watches with magnets
attached to the back (used as car dash clocks) were
also not as plentiful. Many other variations still exist
and other companies like Ingram also make low-end
watches. Some valuable low-end watches are known as
“character watches,” which show recognizable characters
like Mickey Mouse and Roy Rogers, just to name a couple.
These command more money and not just from watch
collectors. Most common dollar watches range from $10.00
and up to possibly $50.00 for new boxed watches. Some
later Westclox have a rotating date on the right side of the
dial. I have a new boxed watch from the 1980’s complete
with chain called the “Country Gentleman” which was
made to look like an expensive watch. Most Westclox Dollar
Watches are dated. If you pop off the back you will notice
on the bottom of the movement the last two numbers which
indicate the year it was made. I have had watches from
as far back as the 1930’s. At shows I have seen a few new
Westclox watches still in their original boxes.
My first good watch as a collector was a larger Swissmade watch with “R. A. Wright Lethbridge” on the dial.
Ralph Wright was one of several sons of an immigrant who,
upon settling in Southern Alberta, got into the jewellery
business, and in time, his sons did the same. As a jeweller
when ordering watches at that time, you could order dials
with your name on it, which gave the business additional
advertising. Many jewellers took advantage of this. The
acquisition of the R. A. Wright watch sparked my interest
in watches and I started looking for better quality ones. I
have some Swiss watches but my favourites are Americanmade Waltham, Illinois, and Elgin, although a Rockford
has slipped into the mix. For me, the larger the better –
the diameter of a watch is referred to as the size which can
range from 6 to 20 (diameter of watch). Once you are into
watches and a reference is made to a 16 size watch, you will
know what is meant.
The back of a watch is usually threaded, although
some are hinged. In the case of the Dollar Watch the back
pops off with a knife. Information about the watch is located
on the movement (the mechanical part of the watch) and
can be found by removing the back. There should be a
manufacturer’s name (for example Elgin National Watch
Co.), a serial number and the number of jewels, which can
range from 7 to 23. The more jewels, the better the watch;
21 or more is getting into the higher end of the scale. Note,
some watches can have a lot of jewels, for example, 100;
but are not necessarily high quality watches. For watch
collectors, finding serial numbers and any company history
can be done on the internet and/or by using reference books.
Another watch in my collection is a 17 jewel Waltham
with “Canadian Pacific Railway” complete with beaver and
shield on the movement. The serial number is 14083403,
which dates to 1904, as per the serial number listing. It was
bought at a local auction, a real find and priced right. I
must admit that the 17 jewels confused me but after some
research, I was able to confirm that the information was
correct, and the watch is actually quite valuable. Most of the
railway watches which came later have 21 jewels or more.
Railway watches also should be open-face (no door over
glass), have numbers, not Roman numerals on the dial, and
have a leaver set. This means that in order to set the time,
you must unscrew the front bezel and crystal, pulling out
a small lever on the side before the stem can be turned to
adjust the time. To wind the watch, push the lever back in
and thread on the bezel. With the advent of the lever set,
May/June 2010 • 15 there were no accidental time adjustments, thus avoiding
train wrecks.
back that it is a railway watch. That is incorrect as many
different engravings were common years ago.
Many companies made railroad watches. A lot of
variations existed as railway standards changed. Not all are
marked with railway names like the Waltham CPR watch in
Talk to other collectors and ask questions. I have
found that most collectors are willing to share their
knowledge. As well, find a good watch repair person. Most
auction and garage sale finds need repairs of some sort –
new hands, crystal or dial. Maybe all that is necessary is
a good cleaning. If interested in collecting watches, maybe
you would want to join a watch club like the Calgary Watch
and Clock Club whose members would be more than willing
to help both the novice and veteran collector alike. Each
meeting is an opportune time to locate the best repair
individual, or dial restoration person and/or the best watch
case engraver.

my collection. All railroad watches are valuable. But, having
said that, do not be fooled as I was, twice. I bought what I
thought were railway watches on two separate occasions. I
unthreaded the backs and on the movements was engraved
an American railway name. In both instances; and after
showing the watches to other collectors; I discovered these
two watches are better known as “Swiss Fakes.” These
Swiss-made watches copy the American Railway watches,
and are good watches, but not high-end. I didn’t get burnt
with these purchases, but I didn’t get rich either. Also some
people think that because there is a train engraved on the

A Short History of Stereography
by Henry Stel, Collector, Barrhead, AB
In 1838 Sir Charles Wheatstone, a philosophy
professor and inventor, is credited with
having developed the first stereoscope.
Wheatstone took two separate pictures of the
same scene and placed them side-by-side on
a card 2.5 inches apart (the same distance
between human eyes). This card was then to
be viewed through prismatic lenses set in a
wooden frame which causes the eyes to blend
them into one, allowing the viewer to see it in
three dimensions, giving the person viewing
the card the illusion of depth.
Another Victorian inventor, David Brewster, who
studied the diffraction of light, invented the kaleidoscope,
and after that, the prism stereoscope. This prism
stereoscope was combined with photography leading to
stereoscopy as we know it today.
A Lake with a Wondrous Story - Crater Lake, Oregon
Colour Stereographs
In 1851 the Great Exhibition took place in Hyde
Park in London. This was an exhibition in which the
British wanted to show their industrial, military and
economic superiority to the world. It is thought that in this
exhibition the word “Victorian” was first used to reflect the
events and times of middle-class Britain during the time
of Queen Victoria.
It was at this exhibition that the much loved Queen
was first presented with the stereoscope. From there
on the stereoscope became an important method of
entertainment and education. By means of the stereoscope
people could have virtual tours all over the world and
about all manner of subjects. It didn’t take long before
Wood Viewers

In the Trenches
middle-class people were sitting in their parlors, in their
classrooms, and even in their churches, enjoying three
dimensional pictures of a whole range of subjects ranging
from astronomy, to zoology, to exotic countries, and all
other manner of interesting things.
At first the production of stereographs was done with
the taking of one picture and then slightly shifting the
camera to a new position. It didn’t take long for cameras
with two lenses to be developed.
Stereographs
Glass stereographs keep the original high definition
and are extremely suitable for 3D viewing, and they allowed
for the excellent reproduction of details. These were
introduced in the United States in 1854 by William and
Frederick Langenheim of Philadelphia. Born in Germany, it
is thought that they may have produced glass stereographs
of more than 10,000 subjects between 1854 and 1860.
The earliest stereoscope cards, also known
as stereographs or stereograms, were produced as
daguerreotypes, which were photos printed on copper, and
ambrotypes; pictures printed on glass. The daguerreotypes
and ambrotypes however, weren’t used very long, as the
pictures were not very stable, and tended to deteriorate
too quickly. For this reason, and due to the demand for
less expensive stereographs, paper mounted cards became
available, with the first of these being printed on flat paper.
These were, for the most part, produced between 1857 and
1890. Later, in the 1880s pictures were mounted on curved
cards to increase the illusion of depth.
Glass Stereographs
In 1862 Auguste Lumière was born in Besancon,
France, and his brother Louis Jean Lumière was born two
years later. Auguste and his brother Louis were sons of

“No Massa, I don’ steal yo chickens!”
Cotton pickers under the watchful eye of the Overseer
Claude-Antoine Lumière who lived from 1840 to 1911, and
ran a photographic firm in Lyon, France. This firm took
many pictures of France, and many of them have been
processed on glass. Sets of these can be purchased in glass
stereographs in which photos of Paris, Fontainebleau, and
the Palace of Versailles are available. These sets often come
with their own stereoscope, of which the body is made of
cardboard.
stereographs were mounted on flat cards. In 1882 Benjamin
West Kilburn, an American photographer and publisher of
stereographs began publishing cards on thicker mounts
that were curved to enhance the stereo effect. To gain
more information regarding the dating of stereographs I
recommend the book, Stereoviews An Illustrated History &
Price Guide. This book was written by John Waldsmith, and
has an incredible amount of excellent information.
Dating Stereographs
Photographers and Publishers
Before the 1860s stereographs were generally
mounted on a thin stock, mostly ivory or off-white. At
times these were also produced in lavender, lilac, and pink
mounts. From 1861 to approximately 1873, stereographs
were mounted on yellow, reddish orange, green, pink, or
lilac cards. Before 1865 the mounts had square corners,
while after that they had rounded corners. The earliest
Stereoscopy became the craze during the Victorian
era. As you can imagine, being able to sit in a comfortable
chair in your parlor, looking at three dimensional pictures
of things that had hardly ever been photographed before,
was quite the treat! Everyone wanted one, and that created

Where on Earth...did you get that? Antique Mall, Airdrie, AB
May/June 2010 • 23 an immense market for stereographs. More than 10,000
photographers and publishers stepped up to the plate, just in
Canada and the United States.
Sweeny, Thomas T., Hayward and Muzzall, and many, many
others.
Underwood & Underwood, which was owned by Bert
and Elmer Underwood, was active from about 1882 to 1921.
During that time it published an incredible 10 million
stereographs per year! This company alone produced an
estimated 300 million stereographs between 1854 and 1921.
Underwood & Underwood was not able to keep up with the
competition of the Keystone View Company, and stopped
producing stereographs in late 1920.
As mentioned earlier, the companies that published
stereographs, published pictures of anything and everything.
This makes collecting rather interesting for us today. All a
potential collector has to do is think of what interests him or
her, and begin looking for that particular subject. Following
are subjects of some of the more sought-after cards: the
American civil war, the gold rush, the San Francisco earth
quake of 1906, World Wars 1 and 2, the Johnstown calamity,
and black Americana.
Another company named, the H.C. White Company
was started by Hawley C. White in 1899. Mr. White coined the
name “Perfec-Stereographs” to describe the high quality of
stereographs he produced and sold. In 1915 the H.C. White
Company’s photo negatives were purchased by the Keystone
View Company.
The Keystone View Company was founded in 1892
in Pennsylvania by B.L. Singley. After the Keystone View
Company purchased Underwood & Underwood, and also the
H.C. White Company, it dominated the stereoscopy markets.
Keystone stereo-photographed nearly every country in
the world, and also made stereoscopes of major events
and personalities. The Keystone Company also produced
educational stereograph sets for schools.
Beyond these three, there were hundreds of other
companies that photographed and sold stereographs of all
kinds of events, people, and places of the world. Among
others one can find the following names: Kilburn Brothers,
Subjects
Everyone well knows the terrible story of slavery
and racism that took place in the southern United States.
Black Americana stereographs allow us an interesting,
but also disturbing, look at what life was like for AfricanAmericans. Many pictures show them as being lazy and
shiftless people who carried out silly and foolish behaviours
due to their supposed inferiority to white people. Many
cards show African-Americans stealing watermelons
and chickens belonging to white people. There are other
stereographs showing black men, women and children bent
over in fields under the beating sun, picking cotton, as their
white overseers look on. There is no doubt about it that
stereographs portrayed people of certain cultures and races
in a very negative light, creating misconceptions and racist
attitudes that most certainly led to the civil war.

May/June 2010 • 25 Many will be offended by these cards, and some
believe that they should be destroyed rather than being sold
on the antique market. Personally, I believe these cards are
important, to be kept as a documentary of the attitudes
that were held by many people in Victorian times. The
destruction of these cards will never undo the injustices that
have taken place, but will only serve to perpetuate racist
attitudes even more.
Evaluating Stereographs
Just as any other antique the value is always
determined by condition, rarity and demand. Having been
abused and mistreated, many stereographs are in very poor
condition. Many are torn, bent, dirty or faded, to the point
where they become almost valueless.
On the other hand, many wonderful stereographs
can still be found on the market today. You will find them,
on average, priced from $0.50 up to $20 or $30. If you’re
wanting a card that is in pristine condition, and the subject
is the gold rush or the civil war, you should be prepared to
lay out upward of $20, and then consider yourself lucky to
have found a good deal. You see, very few photos were taken
of the gold rush. It took place in 1898 in Alaska and there
were few photographers that ventured up there.
Just as any other antique, a stereograph is only worth
what a person will pay for it. That means, of course, that
there are some that can sell for well into the thousands of
dollars. Remember, it’s always about rarity, condition, and
in the case of stereographs; subject.
Next time you venture into an antique store, why
don’t you ask the proprietor if they have any stereographs.
When you find some, take a good look at them. Take a
good look at the subject. See how the people dressed. Take
a good look at the background. Then reverse the card. In
many cases you’ll find that the publishers have given an
interesting write-up about the picture. Doing that will show
you that antiques always talk. Doing that may well turn you
into an Antique Addict, just like I am. Happy antiquing!

By Susan Holme Manyluk, HolmeHus Antiques, Red Deer, AB
This May/June 2010 issue of
Discovering ANTIQUES marks a
decade of excellence! Ten years
under the ownership of Jan and
Cam Mather, and WOW! was the
first reaction I had when I was
told the news.
I have been writing for the magazine since 2002
and have watched it grow and evolve; always improving in
the layout, content, visuals or presentation format. After
acquiring the magazine, Jan had a vision of what she
wanted; I cannot compliment her enough on all the hard
work she has done over the past ten years to reach those
goals. It has resulted in today’s “great little magazine” that
we all enjoy so much.
I am very proud and pleased to be allowed to be a
part of the DA team and want to take this opportunity to
thank Jan for her professionalism, for her sense of humour
and for her patience with those writers who (occasionally)
have deadline challenges. But most of all, I appreciate that
she lets your author pick and choose the topics I want to
write about. That freedom keeps it fun and fresh for me, and
has led me to some interesting people, some eye-opening
research and some fascinating road trips over the past eight
years.
What I especially love about the antique business are
the many facets that make up this complex lifestyle choice
that we call Collecting. Ever-changing, evolving and yet
enduring; the interest in our history, in our appreciation of

Let me also introduce you to one member of The Drive
who has a wonderful location, a sense of nurturing, a love
of environmental ideals and a gift for showcasing antique
elements, including a rare Buff Orpington rooster of great
stature and venerable age.
Blooming Fields is owned by Mary-Ann and Pim van
Oeveren. Located on Bergen Road west of the QE II, between
Olds and Didsbury, this is a beautiful nursery, garden centre,
restaurant and gift shop. The meals are all home cooked
in the best European/Canadian tradition, the service and
décor are outstanding, the landscaping remarkable and the
ambience will enrapture you. It is a great place to start or
finish an antiquing road trip.
beauty, an item’s usefulness or desirability, these are factors
that influence how dealers market their merchandise.
Exploring that phenomenon is part of what Discovering
ANTIQUES also does so well. In the past ten years we have
read about some very unique auctions, and there is always a
list of Western Canadian antique shows, some of which still
take place – others that are only a memory.
This time let’s explore a couple of alternative
“antiquing” options for the coming summer season.
Country Drive is a central Alberta group of rural
entrepreneurs that was spearheaded in early 2004 by Red
Deer County. HolmeHus Antiques was part of the inaugural
group, then took a couple of years off to market in other
venues, and in 2008 rejoined the consortium. The group
has grown, and attracted a much broader rural business
base, including: four or five unique country museums;
farms producing everything from mohair yarn to artisanal
cheese, fresh asparagus, pumpkins and heritage seed
potatoes; various artists, guest ranches and entertainment
venues; garden centres and horticultural sources; and a
couple of well-established antique shops.
The group is focused on the benefits of strong crosspromotion and shares resources, advertising dollars,
venues, expertise and customers. Seasonal events, product
showcases, historical venues and diverse shopping in rural
settings are all available to be enjoyed in central Alberta in
One element in this Dutch-Canadian enterprise that
captured me was the outstanding floral arrangements
designed by Mary-Ann. I brought her half a dozen antique
and vintage containers – ceramic, metal or glass. Each
one was given a totally unique floral arrangement, using a
combination of silk and dried material, berries, nuts, twigs
and mosses. Mary-Ann has a Fine Arts degree from Holland,
is a certified floral decorator and a teacher of art. She can
also design and host your custom wedding!

adult birds for sale. Breeders and judges will attend; and
specialists in housing, feeding and hatching these very old

Antiques will have for sale an extensive inventory of eggciting vintage and antique egg cups, egg crates, coddlers,
servers and timers. An extensive collection of “fowl” art and
flighty fancies, as well as some eggs-traordinary barnyard
biddies and colourful cockerels will all be showcased and
available for relocation.
Deco Aladdin-style teapot (short one lid) or a trio of dainty
English porcelain creamers (divorced from their sugar
bowl companions), was very enlightening. Balance, colour,
function and uniqueness are all weighed and considered
before Mary-Ann sets to work creating a floral centre piece
that can grace a dinner table, brighten a dark corner or
dress up a shabby but well-loved keepsake. She will custom
design in your own collectable, teach you how to DIY (do
it yourself), or offers for sale one-of-a-kind floral accents
in a truly unique antique container. Check it out at www.
thebloomingfields.com. (Next issue I intend to revisit them
so you can enjoy seeing some of the horticultural tools of
the trade utilized by Pim van Oeveren in maintaining his
fantastic nursery and garden.)
Another upcoming event with antique overtones is the
Canadian Heritage Breeders Poultry Show and Sale being
held in Red Deer May 29, 2010. They will feature chicks,
The site of this eggs-stravaganza is the Sunnybrook
Farm Museum in Red Deer. This ten acre parcel was the
original farmstead settled by James Bower, the founding
president of the United Farmers of Alberta (UFA). This was
gifted to the Red Deer and District Museum Society in 1988
by the Bower family. Many outstanding displays of artifacts,
and exhibits relating to rural living from 1899 to the
1950’s, have delighted thousands of visitors over the years.
If you love country antiques and pretty feathers, be sure to
attend the Rare and Heritage Poultry Display and Sale at
Sunnybrook Farm. What a fun way to go antiquing and get
the summer off to a great old start.
Next issue we will visit some other venues, museums
and antiquing opportunities to bring delight to your Alberta
summertime excursions. !
