| Fonctions : | Scottish Pebble jewelry was popular from around 1840-1900 thanks in part to Queen Victoria's interest in all things Scottish. Her purchase of Balmoral Castle in the Scottish Highlands; her insistence of all guests of the Great Exhibition Ball in 1851 to wear Scottish kilts; and her book _Leaves from the Journal of Our Life in the Highlands_, helped to romanticize Scotland as a popular tourist destination and influenced fashion trends. See 'Victorian Jewellery - Unexplored Treasures', by Ginny Reddington Dawes and Corinne Davidov. Photographs by Tom Dawes. New York: Abbeville Press. Items donated by Barbara Sayers Larson. Barbara Larson is the daughter of Annie Harris (1882-1986) and Beverly Sayers (1882-1976) and granddaughter of Arthur (1843-1932) and Mary (1859-1954) Harris. Barbara was born January 27, 1920 and was the youngest of three children. Barbara and her siblings, Geoffrey Sayers (1907-1997) and Dora Sayers Caro (1915-2004) donated Benares to the Ontario Heritage Foundation in 1969 after inheriting it from their aunt, Naomi Harris (1883-1968). Many of the items donated by Barbara originally belonged to her mother or Aunt Naomi and came from Benares. Barbara lived in a log cabin originally given to her by her grandparents at 1723 Birchwood Drive. She still maintains a close tie with Benares and is now living in Kelowna, British Columbia, with her daughter.; Les articles sont un don de Barbara Sayers Larson.

Barbara habitait une maison en rondins que ses parents avaient reçu de ses grands-parents. La résidence se trouve au 1723 Birchwood Drive. Barbara maintient un lien avec Benares et habite aujourd'hui avec sa fille à Kelowna, Colombie-Britannique. |
