Reproduction Furniture

My brother Kerras works as a folk artist in Lauretta on the Centerline Road (Rte. 151) in western Prince Edward Island - he also builds reproduction furniture from recycled materials, ie. old doors. He has a new website - http://www.birchgate.ca/kerras/furniture.html

Below are a few examples of his reproduction cabinetry.

Below - his door collection - he usually has near 300 onhand.

Here's some of his folkart - http://www.birchgate.ca/kerras/folkart.html

This is wonderful! I am on the Island for a month- I come every year. It is lovely to see the recycling going on. I will check out the website for sure and go from there. Thanks for sharing! Joni

HERITAGE PRAYER

We keep forgetting all of those who lived before us.

We keep forgetting those who lived and worked in our communities.
We keep forgetting those who prayed and sang hymns in our churches before we were born.
We keep forgetting what our fathers have done for us.
We commit the sin, Lord, of assuming that everything begins with us.

We drink from wells we did not find.
We eat food from farmland we did not develop.
We enjoy freedoms which we have not earned.
We worship in churches which we did not build.
We live in communities we did not establish.
This day, make us grateful for our heritage.

Amen
