She steered her little family through many a storm. She guided them through the rough weather and calm waters with love and compassion always staying true to her values.
A special gift for my sister Sandra with much love.
The ephemera: original atlas maps and star charts, original antique letters, receipts and charts.

This is lovely. Do the pieces of paper chosen to make the sails reflect the place or family member that boat represents?
Yes, all the sails are favorite childhood haunts of my sister and I. Each boat represents a family member…our mother’s hanwritten recipe for roast beef for my sister, a vintage ledger with the have column for her daughter, a vintage lumber tally sheet for her millwright husband etc…Hidden in the waves are places she has visited or lived…Vanuatu, Vancouver Island, Kauai, Costa Rica ….I am glad you like it. It was a labour of love and a testament of my high regard for her. ❤❤❤
Wonderful. I love both the idea and the execution. I’ve made a memory piece for each family member or loved one who has passed away. The time spent thinking about each detail is a wonderful way to memorialize them.
Yes I agree. 😊
Isn’t she lucky!
❤❤❤
How awesome that each little ship is made with a map of a special place! I’m thinking she probably cried 🙂 Happy New Year lovely 💗💗
We both did. Those are some of our favorite childhood haunts in the Gulf Islands. ❤❤❤
Heartfelt. Tears glisten. Smiles broaden.
Thanks Virginia ❤
