Where it all began!




William Gillies and Doreen Noel

The Collection


The Eyrelooms


This is my treasured item.... our wedding present from you and Sean.

Mum tells me this chair used to be in your room at Benefield Street.

This nest of chairs is in mum and dads lounge.

The saved christening shawl - Brad made sure he had this in his posession.

Ships decanter - this was nanas

Beautiful

Where was it that you brought this hat for Papa back from? Austria?

My other prized posession. The photo doesn't do its beauty justice,

Inkwell

How many years since you have seen this doll She sits in my room at mum and dads




Naf but hilarious. I had a ginger tea from it yesteday - do you remember it? Not quite Clarris Cliff, but hey!

I thought I was so special when you gave me these little dolls, dont know how many years ago that would have been - at least 25 I'm sure.
The only two things that are not here that I can think of is your christening mug that you gave Chris for me and Nana's locket I wore on my wedding day- the locket is in the christening mug on my bathroom shelf.
