SS Prince Edward Island 1917-1968
SS PRINCE EDWARD, circa 1960 (Photo credit: marineatlanticjourney.ca)
When I was a very little girl, my father (Lloyd Clark) who worked almost all of his life on "the boats", took me onto "The Prince". The only memory I have of The Prince is standing next to my father (his knees actually) at the newsstand and being mezmerized by all the shiny wood and brass!
I was researching through copies of old Island newspapers when I came across the following article which I thought you might enjoy and may well bring back a few fond memories to Islanders ;)
Grampy's Boxer Shorts
This little Peekabout™ was inspired by two dear family members - my Grandfather Stewart and my Uncle Earl.
StoppenLook's first trade-shows!
Well, just back from back-to-back tradeshows...my first! Both unexpected so bit of a scramble to say the least :)
Spooky Fall Fun!
Last year, my little grand-niece was sitting in the back seat when she spied two HUGE dogs through the window and begged her mother to stop the car. As it turned out - these particular doggies were made from haybales!
The Evolution of the Island Peekabout Series
When I first had the idea for the Island Peekabout series, I had originally thought to make little paintings of typical Island places that I think of as "home-like". I also wanted them to be rather, ahem, simple.
However, as I did each one, the detail came out more and more - which is in my nature. I also began to see that folks appreciated these little paintings and the ones with more detail seemed to fair best.
The perfect afternoon - "Mouse-hunting" in Charlottetown!
Unknown to many, there is a wee mouse darting in and around historic downtown Charlottetown. One so infamous that he was actually thrown off Church property!
"Milk & Cookies"
