In Case You Were Wondering...

There is no "Woolgatherer" exactly, only a few of us who are searching for or
thinking about the next neat "find". If you have ever watched "Lovejoy", the
British dramedy, you will know what I mean when I say that we all sort of
consider ourselves "divvies". The word "Divvie" seems to come from the root
word deviner and Lovejoy is an antiques dealer(played by Ian McShane)

who is a "divvie", meaning that
he has an supernatural intuition about things and can always spot the real
treasure from the fakes. Whether we are "divvies" or not remains to be seen.
But we are enjoying gathering our "treasures" and want to share them with you.





When we are not searching for treasure, we are cooking up ways to make
interesting and useful things. We are by trade, a carpenter artist, an artist
craftsman, and a crafty postal worker. Our interests include period antiques,
mid-century modern and vintage items of all kinds.


So you never know what will show up here next.
