Chase Community giving is awarding money to charities. I am a supporter of the North American Bear Center and the Wildlife Research Institute of Ely Minnesota.

If you have seen any of the interviews on Martha Stewart, or the Today show, The Morning Show and saw a man named Doctor Lynn Rogers talk about bears named Lily and Hope then you know who they are.

It is a wonderful research center. We got to see the cub born on a webcam..something that has NEVER been seen before in the actual den.

Bristol Sign Celebration and more

I have been terrible about updating this blog and I do apologize. But as the time of year picks up that visitors come to town and people come home to visit, I hope to be more faithful to keep you up to date on new cards etc.

This year marks the 100th anniversary or birthday, if you will, of the Bristol Slogan sign. I will be able to be part of those celebrations with my photography and artwork. I am trying to get as many new items as possible. Of course what I have at this time is always available at Treasures in Time at 600 - State Street Bristol, TN.

I have been collecting vintage postcards of downtown Bristol over the past little while and will be offering reproduction cards for those of you who love the history of the downtown area in particular. I have some new products in the works and plan to have as many new images available as I possibly can.

Look for updates on a more regular basis.... thank you.

Fall in East Tennessee

My favorite time of year, until spring rolls around and then I love it. Haven't been out doing much shooting lately but hopefully soon I can go over in the mountains and get some nice fall colors. until then enjoy this one from last year

Look in the window on the corner

At Treasures in Time the window nearest Sixth Street is like a Bristol Gift Shop. The new ornaments, postcards, magnets and buttons are in and ready for purchase.

All occasion cards are still on a spring sale....soon to be summer sale. Note cards that are being retired are selling and if you are interested - come in while the selection still remains.

Also I will be bringing back my Bristol Christmas cards for early card shoppers. They will be on sale to make way for new cards.

I will soon offer a final reduction on my framed art consisting of floral and abstract designs. Bristol designs, while not marked down are reasonably priced and available only through Treasures in Time.

ornaments, pins and new magnets have arrived

They should be in the store on Thursday! They are really nice and a great little keepsake.
