Morning of Life
With a gatheing of a suitable antique print and Queen Victoria Hospital insignia plus long service badges we fashioned this unique retirement gift for the lovely Irene who had a leaving party today.
Many Mums and their Bubs have alot to thank the dedicated nurses who work so tirelessly. From all of us we wish Irene wonderful things after such an innings!

RFP1. An example of how original presentations can be "RETRO-FITTED" with conservation grade materials:
South Australian National Football Leaque Memoribillia
In 1934, before the days of computer generated images, word processors, and Copy/Paste capability, such recognitions of valuable service were deserving of
specially commisioned artwork such as this! In this case we several cameo works of art celebrating an administrator's contribution
to the rugged sport that is Australian Rules Football. Many of the uniquely Australian iconic features, the Sturt Desert Pea, Wattle,
Magpie and Kookaburra, are worthy symbols to adorn such a high honour of loyal service.
AUSTRALIAN RULES FOOTBALL: LIFE MEMBERSHIP OF THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE LIMITED on March 19th, 1934
Tony Kenny’s list of achievements began in 1924 to finally earned him an induction to the
SOUTH AUSTRALIAN HALL OF FAME IN 2004.
Such work is a grand example of the need to "retro-fit" preservation/conservation
materials while not altering its period integrity.

"University Degree & Ceremonial Cape"
A wonderful opportunity to preserve & recognize many years of study! Here I have incorporated the degree with the ceremonial cape for, in this case, a Bachelor of Information Technology Degree. The eventual frame is a deep re-bated black frame and spacer that prevents the Glass from touching the items. I have used Conservation matboard, acid-free fomecore and Conservation glass that protects paper and textile from acid and the fading elements of UV light.

"World War II Medals Display"
Here we have an inspirational WAR MEDAL DISPLAY of a Polish WW2 soldier including Name and Medal Labelling that identify his contribution to he War effort!
I highly recommend using conservation presentation materials including the Protective Ultra Violet blocking glass as original ribbons will fade and fatigue once out on display in an office, games room, den. This is a wonderful way to remember those we love. They may be gone but never forgotton.

"Proof that we were all young once!"
Now here is a family gem brought in warts 'n all lucky to still BE! For all those that "survived the Sixties the Feature artists will bring back
some memories. For many generations betweeen 1936 (built to celebrate South Australia's 100th Birthday) & 2005 this hall was a venue for State School
exams and also the many flower displays, jam and baking exhibits etc as part of our annual September Agricultural Show...but in 1966 bopped along to scourge of the contemporary youth= Rock Music! The Hall, suffering for having been built during the Depression (Concrete Cancer and eroding steel= SOB!), has been replaced by a State of the Art exhibition Hall with best practise Storm Water Capture and Solar panels installed. ( = YAY!)
This relic/proof of of past lives lived had perchance migrated to Canada four decades ago before being found and sent to a nostalgic brother
to bring in to be preserved for future generations (to prove parents/grandparents were young once too!).
What F.A.B. local history...
