Erin’s Selections (27)
Sterling Silverware (13 - Erin)
The Sterling Silverware belonged to and was cherished by your maternal grandmother, Jean Florey (Brown). In the late 1940s, as a young single woman she worked in a jewelry store and purchased the sterling silverware piecemeal with portions of each paycheck. As with most women of that era, Jean looked forward to marriage and being a housewife. Once in that role, she took pride in meticulously setting a beautiful formal dining table utilizing her sterling silverware. Charles Peterson’s “Skater’s Ice” (9 - Erin)
Your mother and I purchased this numbered print in the late 1990s. The print features ghost skaters on a stream, which flows under a covered bridge. The covered bridge brought back memories of our trip to Vermont and the ghost skaters fascinated us. According to prices on the Internet, Charles Peterson’s work has substantially increased in value.
James McCaffrey’s “The Walled Garden” (5 - Erin)
Your mother and I purchased this print of a street scene in the French Quarter on our first trip to New Orleans in 1998. It is a numbered print; however, McCaffrey’s prints are not as valuable as the numbered prints of Peterson, Hansel, Maass, and Lubeck. Nevertheless, the print conjures up memories of a place that your mother and I enjoy.
