I wonder if anyone can remember Sarah Coventry? I came across this picture and it sparked off old memories. Sarah Coventry was a big jewellery manufacturer in the States and it started up over here as a home party selling venture, much like Tupperware. In the mid 60's money was always tight and as I loved jewellery I started up selling. You took your selection to various homes, set out your stuff on a smart black velvet cloth and hoped for orders and more party bookings and I did quite well. I ran our little pub during the day and my husband took over at night so I could go out and sell. I had a little pale blue Morris Minor car then. The jewellery of course was not gold or silver but the quality was fantastic. The metal was heavy and did not tarnish and I still have a few pieces that look as good as when they were new. The brooch and earrings set in the picture above I bought for my Mother who loved pearls and wore clip-on earrings. At that time hardly anybody had pierced ears. Clip-ons were all the go and you didn't dream the day would come when women and men had not just their ears but their bodies pierced in often unmentionable places! I had a quick look on the web and found over 200,000 mentions of Sarah Coventry. Now this costume jewellery is called vintage and very collectible.

Décor de la salle à manger de la Maison pour un amateur d'art, sur platre de Paris peint et mis en relief, réalisé en 1996, d'après les dessins de C.R. Mackintosh et de M. Macdonald, par les artistes D. et J. Vauchan. La "Maison pour un amateur d'art" a été reconstituée, à partir des dessins et des plans de l'architecte, peintre et designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Construite dans le parc Bellahouston, elle fait partie de l'offre culturelle de la ville de Glasgow en hommage au fondateur du "Glasgow Style" et à son épouse, artiste également : Margaret Macdonald. En 1901, Charles Rennie Mackintosh a participé à un concours lancé par un magazine de design allemand : Innendekoration pour la création d'une maison destinée à un amateur d'art. Aucune contrainte n'était imposée et les artistes ont ainsi pu s'exprimer librement. Mackintosh a été disqualifié car il n'avait pas fourni à temps le nombre de dessins attendus mais sa proposition artistique, à laquelle a contribué son épouse, a été considérée comme un chef-d'oeuvre. Les dessins ont été publiés l'année suivante mais la maison qui constitue la synthèse du "Glasgow Style" n'a pas été construite du vivant de son créateur. Dans les années 80, un ingénieur de Glasgow G. Roxburgh et un architecte : Andy MacMillan ont eu l'idée de la construire en respectant scrupuleusement le projet initial. site de la maison www.houseforanartlover.co.uk/

We’re fascinated by artists who die young. Something about the unnaturalness of an early death gives us a kind of morbid thrill. We hail their genius, attracted by the mystery of the unknown (and unknowable). Maybe we’re envious—at least, the parts of us that seek fame and approval. For the dead, everything is fixed and […]
