Welcome

Welcome to the Workshop 3

 "Lots of frost on the shop window in March"

On March 8 of this year I posted the above photo - and right away I bet you noticed a difference concerning the weather then compared to today. As well, there is a difference to the left of the door to the shop.

Instead of two pieces of driftwood w brass items attached, there are three. The pieces of driftwood comes from the same location, i.e., The Spit, just across a small bay from the town of Comox, Vancouver Island. The new brass anchor comes from the town of Courtenay, a mile away from The Spit by water.

"There is still room for more decor beside or on the door"

"Cheers to The Spit and the men who served there during WW2"

My father trained new recruits or ratings on Navy cutters and landing craft at The Spit during the latter half of WW2 (e.g., in preparation for D-Day Normandy) and two weeks ago I returned from a useful trip to the area with driftwood and the anchor in my luggage.

Souvenirs. Mementoes. Welcome to The Workshop.
