History buff from Pooraka

Discussion in 'Introductions' started by Anita from Pooraka, Nov 9, 2024.

  1. Hello to all and thank you for allowing me to join your forum.
    My name is Anita from Pooraka, South Australia. a grandmother currently of 6, used to work, but now retired after working 50 years in various interesting and not so interesting positions. I am a keen family researcher and completed a advanced diploma during COVID. I also love learning about the past, particularly UK and European history.
    Over the years I have collected a few vintage and antique items and am in the process of sorting through these and working out what I should pass onto my children and what I should or could sell. I have a big collection of vintage jewellery, mostly brooches, many silver pieces, but some plastic, depends on if they caught my eye or not.
    I love pottery and we have a few pieces of Royal Worcester, some signed Stinton pieces, Kitty Blake and a few others. Other items collected, that I found interesting at the time of buying, I wish to move along as I know my children would not be interested in keeping them.
    My reasons for joining this forum?. I am hoping that the collective knowledge of this group may be able to better inform me about some items I have and maybe I could do the same, however I doubt that I would know something that is of interest to others.
