Grave Concern

Halloween nonsense! With apologies to the Oamaru Old Cemetery.


Tis now the very witching time of night,
When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world.
~William Shakespeare

Three good things:
1 The goods arrived from my half sister's estate - bowls from china, plates from Italy, glass from Denmark, books from England.
2. A beautiful early 1900's writing case with fascinating letters in it. My father's first wife wrote to her children and to him and a touching love letter.
3. A thunderstorm that hovered over this cemetery as I took the photo (the lightening in the picture isn't real)!
Very cool editing! Looks great!

Wonderful processing! Very creative! Your half sisters estate sounds interesting. How lovely to have the letters! I have letters my mum wrote to my dad when he was in hospital for 6 months when I was about 2 years old. Very moving and quite funny. Lovely treasure!

@pamknowler We get an inkling on who our family really is through the letters, not just a Mum and Dad or aunt etc!

Wonderful Hallowe'en scene, you are good at putting shots like this together, fav. That writing case with old letters in it sounds like a treasure.

@tristansmum You are so right, Stephanie - it even has a beuatifully bound blotting paper folder in it plus an old pen holder that just needs a nib!
