Some beautiful old photos of some beautiful people and one very beautiful home.

My cousin Simon came across these old slides and has turned them into photos!  Wow!  Just loving them.

Our beautiful Mama with my sister Meredith on her lap and Tony, our favourite 'Uncle Toenails' 😆 and I'm not quite sure who the man standing on the left is.
Just loved Mama's garden bushy but with lots of lovely Azaleas as well.
Even the name is beautiful isn't it.

No longer like this now, there are two rather large homes on this block now.

Devastating News for my sister Meredith.

Meredith and her husband Bill live in Stoneville just east of Perth.  On Sunday they were given 10 minutes notice  to evacuated because of bush fires.   Yesterday afternoon they found out that their home and all their possessions had been destroyed by the fires.

Meredith and Bill built their mud brick home in the hills of Perth almost 30 years ago, Meredith had her studio out the back, where she made, among other things, her stained glass jewellery.  Bill had his Business office in the home... they lost everything.

Son Ben had sold his home and was building nearby so he has lost all his possessions.

Daughter Heath had moved back home from London just before Christmas and she has lost all her possessions as well.

I don't know how to help them... last night while I couldn't sleep, I kept jotting down ideas of ways I can help.

Make Quilts for each of them, I have three large quilt tops already made and just waiting for quilting.
Collect all the old family photos I have and ask my siblings, and my cousins from both sides of the family to send me old photos that I can put on a Disc or some other form to send them.
Search my home for little things that once belonged to our families to send.
Collect old family Recipes and put together in a book

Can you think of anything else I could do?
