Christmas in Kinsale
Christmas in Kinsale Auction launch going well
As of Nov. 21, your
kind bids on the Christmas in Kinsale auction tally
$853 on items valued at $5,125.
This is 35.5% of our goal of $2,400.
If we had at least the minimum starting bid on everything, the
auction would earn $2,136.
The Museum will be open the Thursday and Friday of Thanksgiving weekend.
And during the week between Thanksgiving and Christmas in Kinsale, you
are welcome to come in anytime your your Museum Director’s car!
Please try to come by BEFORE Christmas in Kinsale to place at least the
minimum bid on at least one thing that does not already have a bid!
That way, we can go into the event armed with the belief that we
will have a nice success! If
you can’t get here in person before Nov. 30 or on Dec. 1, you can bid by
calling 804-472-2013 (Lynn’s cell) or email
museumdirector@gmail.com NO LATER than Nov. 30 at noon.
In the
notes below, I will put the current bid if any, and what the minimum
“raise” on the item is.
Weather-related notes:
Remember to pray without ceasing for good
weather. We have lost so
many dear souls this year that the angels, if emphatically encouraged,
should be able to shield us with their wings.
We can’t CHANGE the date of Christmas in Kinsale itself no matter what…
because everybody has a million things to do in December.
If Dec. 1 should offer terribly challenging weather, [for example like
Nov. 15which was TERRIBLE] we might have to try to cram under tents – we
have done that before for the all-you-can-eat oysters…
or inside buildings and cut down on activities… For example, the
horse would not come and Rocketrun would not charge us for the horse, so
that money would be freed up for donations. We would still sell the
cookies,and hold the auction and Santa Claus would still listen to
Christmas wishes, don’t worry!!!
We have been known to read the Christmas angels’ names inside the
Firehouse, even, and light the tree from afar.
If the weather really really messes us up with six feet of snow or
something HORRIBLE, we will continue the auction to
Christmas so as to find loving homes for as many items as possible in
the name of this very good cause.
Anyway, please set those prayers and meditative weather interventions in
motion.

SETH THOMAS CLOCK
Shannon Reber gave us this mantel clock, which was her late husband’s
late father’s favorite timepiece.
Its chiming mechanism may need professional guidance as the
tolling of the bells every 15 minutes drove Shannon up the wall when
visiting the senior Rebers, and she asked Paul’s daddy, Dick Reber, to
subdue its exuberance.

KNITTERS DELIGHT
At her Methodist Women’s Club Bazaar, Caroline Anderson found this
wonderful family heirloom storage basket for skeins of yarn and
knitted/crocheted works in progress.
Woodburned and leather-laced, this piece of “pyrography” was made
more than 100 years ago by her friend Becky Bryan’s great-grandmother.
We paired a handmade throw
with it, such as would have been crafted by the
ladies of Victorian times who put whatever they were working on back in
the basket every night to continue the next day.

ITALIAN ELEGANCE
Whether this vintage possibly hand-painted vase marked #236/452 is old
or not so old, it has a certain air about it.
And although it has suffered the vicissitudes of time -- Sorry, I
could NOT resist that phraseology rather than saying as-is just because
there are a FEW nicks -- the subtle colors affirm that our days SHOULD
have a different rhythm here on the river.
The tray is also quite uplifting!
Both are from Dot Watkins.

PUSSY WILLOWS, BROLLIES…
Although we can’t tell you if it is a milk can or something else
entirely, we CAN tell you what this can is GOOD for:
Pussy willows in the spring because it still has some of their
soft catkins in it. Its
handle folds sideways opening up the mouth, so is also good for
umbrellas or canes or brooms or yard sticks or other things that you’d
like to NOT fall over and make bumps in the night when your cat brushes
up against them!

15
CLASSY CLOCK, THERMOMETER
THIS IS A TWO-PART AUCTION ITEM although it is not in a basket!
Joyce Michael (I think) gave us this very classy Howard Miller
wooden wall clock which was a retirement presentation to somebody if I
well recall. If you yourself
are retired, the time might not be as important as the TEMPERATURE,
which you will be able to tell from Vikki Ravinskas’s charming bird’s
nest thermometer, which comes with three cute pins for your
decoratively-minded birds.

CROSLEY CR47 TURNTABLE
What a thoughtful gift from Gail and John

been able to share with your grandchildren because your turntable went
kaput? Well, now you can.

LET THERE BE LIGHT
Callao Supply’s pair of NEBO Flipit switches can be mounted
anywhere or just moved around where you need them.
Their 3 AAA batteries will last for a LONNNNNNG time because the
LED lights draw almost no power.
Quizzically thinking, we teamed these up with a Laura B. Grad
cookbook called Make it Easy. Make it Light, from the
Anglican Church’s Light of Christ consignment store,
and two (2) hand-painted Christmas ornaments, wood and glass
respectively: The Great
House (which is a light house thanks to a lamp lit in the middle

keepsake chest which belonged to Shannon Reber’s late father-in-law.

be nice for a little girl’s doll accessories or other treasures.
Dave Butt waxed up the outside of the drawers to make them easy
to come in and out.

In addition to Holmesian insights, and a book about who invented
what, when… the contents of this basket from the Reber family will keep
the conversation flowing at any event where you may need to come up with
answers quick. (Mostly)
RIGHT answers. Great tales guaranteed to astonish, bewilder, stupefy.
Also a number of valuable clues to ensure you can land a plane if

NOT
MAKE ALL ‘F’s’ in your back-to-school nightmares
all these years later.

LOVELIEST BIRDBATH EVER!
On a recent visit to the Corning Museum of Glass, Chris and Therese
Johnson obtained a truly magnificent subtly irridescent bird bath.
It comes with just the right stand.
This lovely art work (the picture is of a hummingbird) will
SURELY make your birds believe they have gone to Heaven if you keep it
nice and full during those hot summer days when birds get JUST AS
THIRSTY and just as DIRTY as the rest of us!
Also if you top it off in winter when the puddles are frozen and
there is NOWHERE for a bird to get a drink!

SUN DRYING SWIMMERS
Mally Weaver’s wonderful print of swimmers drying off in the sun on a
roof comes from Berthelle Denton.
Mally and her partner artist Tommy Avery first came to Kinsale
through storms at sea many years ago with Helle (who became Helle
Feller) & a lady from Cornwall named Tina Lounds & Elmer Seaman on
Elmer’s boat – was it called My Way?
There were definitely corgis involved, eventually, wherever Mally
was. Most of those folks
ended up in Key West, though dear Elmer was here at the end of his life.

SENSUOUS LYON STOOL
Tom Bell sanded and painted this Lyon Stool a stunning dark chocolate
with hints of maroon. I know
because I kept debating with myself exactly what color I was seeing, so
I asked four of OJ & Phyllis’s grandsons. Besides LOOKING good, there is
ROOM on this capacious vintage lab stool for the most expansive
derriere. This means you
will NOT fall off it.
And you WILL be comfortable.
It is wonderful!

fiction greats as Asimov & Heinlein, as well as providing scientic and
technical illustrations of jets, rockets, birds & more… for such clients
as the Pentagon, Hayden Planetarium & Massachusetts Audubon Society.
Fittingly, the most recent physical address of this man for whom
