Welcome to the February/March/April issue of Discovering ANTIQUES.

In hindsight I realized that while I was reminiscing about past Christmas and New Year’s food and traditions, I completely forgot to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and my best wishes for a wonderful 2016! So, even though Christmas is over, 2016 is just getting going. Please accept my sincerest best wishes to all of you for an amazing 2016!

In response to the article, The Life and Works of Beatrix Potter written by Catharina VanTooren (Sep/Oct. 2015 issue) we received an interesting email from Michelle Todd, a Canmore-based artist and soprano. Michelle informed us of her upcoming performance, March 13, 2016 with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, Calgary, AB. Her one-woman show, which she has performed many times in London, England, will feature The Tale of Peter Rabbit and The Tale of Jemima Puddleduck. Catharina and I are planning to attend this unique adaptation of the famous classics. If you are interested in more information about this event go to the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra website or Ticketmaster.

Continued on Page 12

It all started back in the mid-1890’s. James Wright Beswick, a local businessman and potter, acquired, together with his son John, the Gold Street Works in Longton, Stoke-on Trent, England. Their factory produced fine dinnerware as well as decorative and ornamental items. Then in 1918, the Warwick China Works was added to their business, giving them quite a name for themselves in Staffordshire.

When James died in 1921, John took over the reins of the firm, until his son John Ewart took over from him in 1934. The new management was expanded with the acquiring of the services of Gilbert Ingham Beswick, a relative. A new partnership usually means a renewed approach to success and that certainly applied to the Beswick family. The firm started to focus on the production of domestic and equestrian animal figures. The horses were so life-like, that, although in miniature of course, they beckoned to be stroked and admired. It became their most popular line. In 1936, the newly formed company was named John Beswick Ltd., with Arthur Gredington as chief modeller. Their very popular animal figurines were exact replicas of the real creatures, accurately created and reproduced with a fine eye for authentic details - and all done under

the watchful eye and expertise of Jim Hayward, decorating manager. However, the desire to expand the firm did not stop here. By 1945 they had acquired their neighbouring factory Williamson & Son’s, followed by the factory of Thomas Lawrence in 1957. It is understandable that the small-scale factories in the Staffordshire area were at their wits-end when more successful and larger factories took all the wind out of their sails. Fortunately companies such as Beswick helped these people out by purchasing their businesses; often lock, stock and barrel, meaning local potters and factory workers were guaranteed a job.



designed by Jan Granoska, a trainee modeller. Miss Granoska worked for the Beswick studio only a short three years, but over time her designs have become most desirable. These Disney figurines were issued from 1953-1965. A year later, in 1954, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs entered the production line, and were designed and portrayed by Beswick’s master designer Arthur Gredington. Snow White and her entourage were issued until 1967. Presently, the high-quality Disney figurines are very sought-after and may be fetching high prices. Shortly before, another set of adorable figurines had been designed by Mr. Gredington and became known under the title David Hand’s Animaland. The set consists of characters with catchy names: Felia, Zimmy Lion, Ginger and Hazel Nutt, Oscar Ostrich, Dinkum Platypus, Loopy Hare and Dusty Mole made their appearance in 1949 and were issued until 1955.

In the meantime head mould maker Albert Hallam gradually took over the modelling department and may be credited with the success of the Bedtime Chorus, an enchanting set of music-making children accompanied by a singing dog and cat. These pieces were made between 1962 and 1969. After the showing of the Disney cartoon movie Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day, Hallam recreated the main characters in delightful figurines. Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, Piglet, Rabbit, Owl and Kanga entered production in 1968. Tigger and Christopher Robin were added in 1971, after the Doulton takeover. These Disney figurines were issued until 1990.

Sketched backstamps from Beswick pieces done by Catharina VanTooren

It was Lucy Beswick, the wife of the managing director, who, in 1947, made recommendations to bring the story-book characters from Beatrix Potter to life after her enjoyable and inspiring visit to the Lake District home of the successful writer and illustrator. (See the story on The Life and Works of Beatrix Potter in the Sept/0ct.2015 issue of Discovering ANTIQUES.) A year later John Beswick obtained the rights to reproduce ten of Beatrix Potter’s characters, starting with Jemima Puddle-Duck, which was expertly modelled by Arthur Gredington. He continued this popular line with Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny, Little Pig Robinson, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, Mrs. Tittlemouse, Samuel Whiskers, Squirrel Nutkin, Timmy Tiptoes and Tom Kitten. Many more characters were added at a later date, when the rights to do so were secured by Beswick.

The storybook figurines proved to be an instant hit with the public. It did not take long for Beswick to expand their selection by acquiring the rights to reproduce some of the Walt Disney characters. In 1952 Mickey Mouse and Jiminy Cricket made their first appearance, followed, a year later, by Pluto, Goofy, Pinocchio, Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse, Thumper, Peter Pan and Tinkerbell, all of them wonderfully

Unfortunately new ownership had to become a reality when both owners, Ewart and Gilbert, did not have a successor to take over the company. Subsequently John Beswick Ltd. was sold to Royal Doulton Tableware Ltd. in 1969. Manufacturing of all the popular animal series continued under the Royal Doulton ownership. Production was also increased by adding new sets of figurines, for instance, the Connoisseur Series which was developed in the 1970’s and includes horse figures, and the Fireside Series consisting of dog, cat, elephant and horse figures as well as a 14" native Indian figure.

Albert Hallam continued to work for Doulton, largely due for his expertise in the field of modelling character animals. He was responsible for the creation of Bunnykins. Consequently, many more Beatrix Potter characters were introduced as well, along with other story-book characters such as those from Alice in Wonderland.

After 1933 all Beswick pieces became easily recognizable because each piece bears a Beswick mark (see illustrations on previous page); later pieces also include a three or four digit model number. Not until 1989 did the Doulton Group introduce the Royal Doulton backstamp, eliminating the Beswick name altogether. It should be mentioned that the Beswick

stamp made a short come-back with the introduction of The Pig Promenade, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Beswick factory in 1993/1994. The backstamp on storybook or cartoon characters also contains the copyright owner, for example: F. Warne & Co. Ltd. on the Beatrix Potter pieces.

It is sad to know that, by the end of 2002, all production of the Beswick products came to a halt as Doulton sold the Gold Street Works to property developers. In 2004 the Beswick name and its product design rights, including the moulds, were also sold, and are currently owned by Dartington Crystal.

The popularity of the original Beswick animal and character figures has not waned. Interest is still high among collectors who recognize the quality, craftsmanship and availability of any Beswick product.

Author’s note: It was my intention to highlight the history and development of the Beswick Company before the Doulton take-over. The list of figurines mentioned is by no means complete. The photographs are of items from a private collection.

mighty task. Membership size has varied from up to 110 in the “old days” to a present count of 32 this year.

Analysis of our present members shows that twelve members are focused on collecting antique/vintage dolls and related articles. There are eight OOAK* doll artists in the group working in various mediums. Other areas of interest/passion are Inuit/Aboriginal dolls, Doll houses and their interiors, Miniatures, Repairing/refurbishing of dolls, Modern fashion dolls (the next largest category at ten members), Costuming of dolls, Doll accessories, Teddy bears (both originals and collectibles), Patterns for sewing dolls and doll clothes, Santas and Christmas related dolls (and other seasonal

My association with the Calgary Doll Club goes back into the late 1970’s when my Auntie, followed by my Mother, became members of the original group of women who met in each other’s homes to share their love of all things doll. I was lucky to be invited to a number of meetings before joining in 1991, and to share this lovely time with Mum and Auntie.

The group became official in 1978 with a focus at that time on collecting, identifying, preserving, repairing antique and collectible dolls, meeting monthly at Scarboro United Church. The group has convened in many other meeting spaces over the years, and volunteer members have organized The Calgary Doll Club Show/Sale held each year in the spring, a

dolls), and many love to create and sew doll clothing. There are many sub categories, too many to list here, and most of us fit into all the categories of interest, as you might imagine!

Over the years, we have hosted other clubs, taken field trips, donated dolls and bears to charities and nursing homes, made PJS/nightgowns (adding a dressed doll) to donate to needy children, decorated and donated mini Christmas trees for a women’s shelter, given many show and tell sessions at senior’s lodges and nursing homes, and set up a showcase of dolls for a branch of the public library. A photo of our Bendy doll projects were included in a 2014 issue of Soft Dolls and Animals magazine. Several past members submitted doll photos and was published in Evelyn Strahlendorf’s book, “Dolls in Canada.” There are many more in this list, but this will give you an idea of the many volunteer hours that faithful members have given for the sheer joy of doll collecting.

The Calgary Doll Show/Sale, an annual event for many years now, will be held this season on

April 16, 2016 Acadia Rec Centre, 240 – 90 Ave. S.E. from 10 am – 3 pm $5 adults, children under 12 free. More info: [email protected]

Our meetings are held in the afternoon once a month from September through May with a topic/activity/speaker, a luncheon and show and share on the day’s topic. We learn from each other and from our various guest speakers, all organized via ideas generated by the group, and put together by a four person volunteer executive. This past season has opened up our world with a separate four person volunteer group who have set up and do the monitoring of a Facebook page which is open to the public so that one can enter the pages without the requirement of joining Facebook.

Visitors are encouraged to attend one meeting for free, paying for their own lunch. If you are interested in joining us to share the love of doll collecting, please contact our 2015-16 president: [email protected]


Antique and Vintage Candlesticks Don’t Have to be in PairsSilver candlesticks - antique, vintage, or copies of past decorative styles - can be found in many rooms in decorating magazines. Grouped in clusters of three to six, you will find them on a table or mantel as decorations. Candlesticks with more modern designs, post-1900, are also used. Single candlesticks are reasonably priced. A pair can be twice to three times as much. Always add candles, and for special occasions be sure to light them.

Moving FurnitureWhen moving furniture, to keep doors closed, especially cabinet doors; or to secure the leaves of a drop-leaf table, tie pantyhose around the piece. It stretches and is soft so will not damage the finish. And this from an antique restorer - never pick a table up by its top, always grab it by the apron. Also, when moving smaller pieces of furniture, put the legs on a throw rug or blanket and then just slide or drag the item to its new spot. There are also special pads that stick to the leg bottoms enabling easy movement on hard floors.

THE PORTUGESE ROOSTERThis cute decorative rooster figurine originated in Portugal and it is called The Rooster of Luck and Happiness, but are you familiar with the story behind this lucky rooster?

The legend tells of a murder committed somewhere in a Portuguese village. No one knew who did it. A lone Spanish pilgrim had been passing through on that day and was unable to provide an alibi. He was arrested and sentenced to hang. As a last favour he asked to see the judge one more time. The judge was dining with some friends, and in front of them the Spaniard pleaded his innocence but sadly to no avail. “There is nothing I can do,” replied the judge. The pilgrim, desperate, turned to the Saints of his faith and stated: “I am so innocent that, before I die, this roasted rooster will crow!” Everyone laughed and the feast continued, but for some odd reason the roasted rooster was not touched. Evening fell, and while the words of the Spaniard still rang in their ears, suddenly, to their amazement, the roasted rooster transformed and crowed! The judge and his guests ran quickly and saved the condemned man. The Spanish pilgrim was set free and the Portuguese acquired a mascot…a cheerful ceramic rooster they named THE ROOSTER OF LUCK AND HAPPINESS.

Religion and Politicsby Fred Hauck, Collector, Redcliff, AB


W ith another Federal and Provincial election over, for some the choice was unclear as to who to vote for. It got me thinking

about our last provincial election and the NDP majority government. For those of you who are younger voters, it is not new in Alberta to elect a party that has not been tried before and give them a majority. This first happened in 1935 with William Aberhart and the Social Credit Party. Aberhart came to Alberta from Ontario in 1910 and in 1915 took on the role of principal at Crescent Heights High School in Calgary. He was also a Baptist minister at the Westbourne Baptist Church which is now part of the Stampede grounds. Starting in November 1925, he began preaching on a new medium – CFCN Radio on Sundays. These were broadcast from the Palace Theatre in downtown Calgary. In the fall of 1927, Aberhart opened the “Calgary Prophetic Bible Institute” Bible school in downtown Calgary. It has been said of Aberhart that he could possibly be considered Alberta’s first multitasker.



Religion and Politics

The furthest thing from his mind was politics. When asked about running for office, on one occasion he said that politics wasn’t for him. during a summer break from school and grading papers, he was in Edmonton and someone handed Aberhart a booklet on the Social Credit platform written by Major Douglas from England. At that time, the Province of Alberta was run by the United Farmers Party and Alberta, like the rest of the country, was in the middle of a great depression (The Dirty 30’s). After reading the Social Credit theory, Aberhart felt that this would work for our province and the Social Credit Movement began.

Aberhart, it was said, was born to lead. If he joined an organization that he couldn’t lead he would quit and join one he could lead. Aberhart had a wife Jessie and two daughters Khona and Ola; he did not have a son – a situation he would soon change. During Aberhart’s radio programs he began to talk a lot about building a new Bible school in Calgary which

would have a three year program. A teenage boy from Carnduff, Saskatchewan listened intently and wanted to enroll as one of the first students. Aberhart saw something in the young Ernest Manning and invited him to live with his family for the last two years of Manning’s schooling. Aberhart gave Manning special teaching to groom him for what Aberhart saw as Manning’s future. Manning became almost like the son Aberhart had never had.

With the 1935 Provincial Election looming, Albertans didn’t know which way to turn because of the depression. Combine this with William Aberhart being a popular preacher, reaching thousands on the radio every Sunday, and this put Aberhart at the right place at the right time. The Social Credit, an unknown party with William Aberhart, an unknown leader, swept the election with a landslide victory claiming 56 of 63 seats in the legislature. Not bad for a first attempt.

Pictured are three pieces of Calgary Prophetic Institute literature. To the right is a newspaper clipping from May 1943 announcing the death of William Aberhart.


A cartoon from the booklet The Amos and Andy of Social Credit. On the microphone are the call letters CFCN - the Calgary radio station that carried Aberhart’s Sunday morning religious show.


Not everyone in Alberta was happy about this as time went on; a few thought Aberhart was a radical, some said he couldn’t separate religion and politics. William Aberhart eventually became known as “Bible Bill.” His new Minister of Trade and Industry was Ernest Manning. Under the new Social Credit banner, the Province of Alberta would undergo a large transformation. Many new ideas would be tried; some of which were nothing more than grasping at straws trying to pull the country out of the depression. One Social Credit idea was to print Prosperity Certificates. They were the size of paper money and had 105 small squares the reverse. With all your purchases at stores you received small one cent stamps to stick on your Prosperity Certificate. When the back of your certificate was filled, it was redeemable at a store for $1.00 credit. The Social Credit realized that there wasn’t enough cash in circulation and this was a way to give a person credit for spending – Social Credit currency if you will. Those opposed to the Social Credit’s idea, called it “Social Credit Funny Money.” The idea never really caught on.

A great number of political cartoons that poked fun and ran down the Social Credit came about in

the 1930’s. Cartoonists such as Stew Cameron did their best to discredit the Social Credit and William Aberhart. Stew Cameron even printed a booklet called “The Amos and Andy of Social Credit.” The cartoonist made Aberhart and his man black-faced like the black radio comedians Amos and Andy who were extremely popular in the day. I didn’t know such cartoons existed until about a year ago. I paid $30.00 for this booklet which is in good condition. I am sure it is worth a great deal more than that.

On one of Aberhart’s radio broadcasts he said that cars must be licensed for the safety of others; and that dogs should be licensed for the same reason. And why shouldn’t the newspaperman be licensed as well? Aberhart did reciprocate when he felt it necessary.

In my collection I do have a few Social Credit publications from the 1930’s and 1940’s. Generally, these are not that plentiful. I remember my grandmother telling me that when she was a child she would listen to CFCN and the Prophetic Bible School, Sunday school program on their battery radio. She advised that Sunday school leaflets could be mailed to you; and if you memorized a Bible verse,

Three Social Credit plates which were made by Hycroft Pottery in Medicine Hat, AB

Various items of Social Credit merchandise which date from the 1930’s - 1980’s

a 4" x 6" plaque with a Bible verse on it, was sent to you. I have one that my grandmother received. It has the Bible verse - John 3:16 on the front and on the back it says, “Presented to Alice Seefried from the Radio Bible Sunday School June 1939” – a real family treasure!

In 1943, William Aberhart passed away suddenly while he and his wife, Jessie, were visiting their daughters in British Columbia. Aberhart was buried in British Columbia at the suggestion of his wife. She made this decision for two reasons, the first was to avoid the cost of transporting the body and then having a state funeral when Alberta tax payers were still “depression” stricken; and secondly, she did not want Aberhart detractors to have the satisfaction of having him buried in Alberta. Following her death, Jessie was buried beside her husband in British Columbia.

In 1930, William Aberhart had asked Ernest Manning to help with the Sunday radio programs teaching the gospel. After Aberhart’s death, Manning was voted in as leader of the Social Credit and as the Premier of Alberta. At the age of 34, he was the youngest man in the legislature. Manning also took

over the Prophetic Bible School Sunday morning radio programs. Ernest Manning continued as Premier from 1943 until 1968. He held that position longer than any other Alberta Premier. In the 1959 Provincial Election 67% of the electorate cast ballots and of the 65 seats, the Social Credit won 61 making it an even bigger victory than the 1935 election. During Manning’s time as Premier there was never a hint of scandal and his government was always accountable to the people. While in office, Manning not only ran the province, he also ran his “Back to the Bible Hour” radio program. Manning, like his predecessor Aberhart, was very successful at doing this. Manning stepped down as Premier and leader of the Social Credit in 1968 and was succeeded by Bow Island, Alberta’s Harry Strom who maintained the Social Credit rule until 1971 when The Progressive Conservatives, led by Peter Lougheed, won the election. Ernest Manning was appointed

to the Senate in 1970 and is the only Social Credit to serve in that body to this day. He retired in 1983 and passed away in 1996 at the age of 87. His son, Preston Manning, followed in his father’s footsteps as a politician and was leader of the Reform Party.

A friend of mine in Calgary who collects primarily paper collectibles has told me that when people ask for political collectibles, it is almost always items to do with the Social Credit Party. Pin-back buttons, literature and stickers do surface, but not often. I have a copy of the 1957 bylaws of the Social Credit Party and three Hycroft plates produced by the Hycroft Potteries in Medicine Hat, Alberta. The radio/Bible items are not plentiful either. These are even harder to find.

Other items which deserve a mention are the Crescent Heights High School yearbooks from the early years. These always had a picture of William Aberhart and a facsimile of his signature.

One last note, William Aberhart and Ernest Manning had a big impact on the Province of Alberta and on my family as well. If they were standing in front of me I would thank them personally. In my opinion, they were two of the greatest Albertans to ever live.

Pictured are three publications which carried the announcement of the death of Ernest Manning.

Inside Ibon Antiques

An Official Retailer for Moorcroft

FEATURE

The owners of Ibon Antiques, Debra and Stefan, have been involved in the Edmonton’s antique scene for over a decade. From a background in classical music instruments and repurposing vintage jewellery pieces they developed a passion for collecting a multitude of antiques and vintage items. Along the way they developed a keen interest in the backgrounds and histories surrounding vintage pieces. Currently, the store features a selection of furniture pieces from the Hotel MacDonald, Chateau Lake Louise, and the Banff Springs Hotel, some dating as far back as the 1920’s and older. Other furniture pieces include antique bars, Hoosiers, sideboards, and teak tables.

The term “antique” is applied to objects that are over 100 years old. In North America “antique” can sometimes, incorrectly, be associated with items closer in age to only 50 years old. The words “vintage” and “memorabilia” are often used to describe collectible items less than 100 years of age. Edmonton, compared to a European city, is very young and “naturally occurring” antiques or pieces that originated here over a hundred years ago are difficult to come by. Antiques and vintage items in the Edmonton area were originally brought here when


the area was settled. As well, some antique dealers receive regular shipments from the United Kingdom and Europe. “Collectibles” are just that: collectible! They do not need to be old to be something someone wants to collect.

Previously located on Jasper Avenue and on Calgary Trail, Ibon Antiques is now opening in the Old Strathcona area at 10423 - 79 Avenue. The store boasts a wide selection of vintage, antique, and collectible items, including a large quantity and variety of Tiffany-style lamps. The stock ranges from vintage books and magazines to jewellery and clothing, dishes and silverware, china, glassware, crystal, figurines, furniture, paintings, ethnic art and carvings, toys, comics, rustics, retro pieces, memorabilia, curiosities and more! Ibon Antiques is also the designated retailer for Moorcroft art pottery in northern and central Alberta, with a large selection of new and older pieces from this uniquely handcrafted and highly collectible English pottery

company. As the designated retailer Ibon is able to make advance orders as new designs are announced.

Doesn’t “Chef Quest” sound like a culinary launch for the Food Network? It should be!

When a unique historical site like Ellis Bird Farm puts out a call for applications for an on-site position, there is inevitably a rush of applicants. So coveted are the jobs at this premier tourist environmental destination, that inquiries come from far and wide. Finding the right applicant, then becomes the challenge.

Because Ellis Bird Farm has its roots in the earliest days of Alberta’s rural settlement, there is a very important recognition of over 100 years of being a “family” farm. It still is in all the ways that count, with retention of the Ellis name, the continuing

upkeep of the lovely old buildings, and with many of the original tools, equipment and machinery carefully maintained and displayed, or still utilized on a daily basis in the operation of the site. Most of all, it is because of the extensive “family” of paid and volunteer supporters of the old farm site and bird sanctuary, that the original family’s agricultural and environmental goals are being maintained. A productive, balanced and sustaining homestead was originally laid out by the Ellises where plants and crops were grown to feed humans and a variety of livestock. Rotating crops of cereals and hay were seeded and harvested, or pastured by the beef cattle, the milk cows, the sheep and hogs. The surplus skim milk was fed to weaner pigs and laying hens alike. They in turn provided meat, lard, wool and eggs for a growing family. Fruit trees were planted and nurtured, a big kitchen garden was put in every spring; flowers, berries, shrubs and a bit of lawn was added over time. Rhubarb, horseradish and a selection of pot herbs was tucked into odd corners (in the English way) to embellish the sturdy but pleasing farmhouse built in the early 1900’s, and to enhance the taste of daily meals.

Today’s Bird Farm family consists of teachers and interpreters, maintenance and construction

staff, landscape and garden experts, media gurus and technical support – all led by the inimitable Myrna Pearman, biologist, photographer, author and bird-whisperer extraordinaire. Together they make a passionate, hardworking, and cheerful family, that welcomes the locals, the children, the tourists and the international elite of the bird world with equal enthusiasm. Under the leadership of Myrna and the guidance of a governing board of community, industry, environmental and agricultural members, the old farmstead has retained its beauty and integrity; but has seen some necessary changes as well.

2015 saw the opening of an imposing new interpretive centre with a much larger gift shop and retail area, several meeting rooms and much-needed office space. More parking and better access has been added. Over the years, Ellis Bird Farm has become more tourist friendly; with larger green areas having more seating and viewing options; with paved pathways accessible to baby strollers, wheelchairs and seniors; and with more than adequate washroom facilities.

The development of the beaver pond, the butterfly and water gardens, the wetlands viewing

area and the extensive outlying walking trails, adds lots of options for enjoying nature, farming, livestock, gardening and the endless miracles of bird populations in close proximity. The truly sensitive and integrated landscaping is second-to-none; which beautifully mingles introduced, self-seeded and native species which are bird- and people-friendly – providing cover, nest sites, food and water, needed by numerous birds, insects and small mammals. By honouring the farm’s past in all ways possible, the future existence of the Ellis Bird Farm is assured within a rich and harmonious landscape unique to central Alberta.

But wait a second…

There is one thing about being out in the fresh air enjoying nature, which is inevitable for everyone of any age – the encouragement it gives to a healthy appetite. Hunger looms after only a few hours of exploring and walking, and while bringing a picnic is an option for those who wish; the existence of an excellent café serving some really good culinary choices is even more attractive.

For many years the original farmhouse served as a tea house providing traditional farmhouse cooking: soups and sandwiches, lots of great pies and ice cream, coffee or tea as required. All very tasty and enjoyable and definitely well-utilized by the visitors.

Then in 2013 the tea house operation was taken over by Blake Anderson and Pavla Hruykova – and a whole new era began. With greater emphasis on sourcing produce and meats locally from sustainable producers, a new degree of freshness and taste was assured. With an internationally trained chef in the kitchen, the variety and presentation of dishes was broadened considerably; reflecting the public’s desire for a more sophisticated menu. While comfort food, old favourites and traditional good cooking

never goes out of style, and is often a first choice; it must be outstandingly presented, well flavoured and cooked from scratch, using quality ingredients. That expertise in the kitchen, and an exceptional front-of-house and management skill-level brought to the operation by Pavla, virtually guaranteed a three-year culinary and financial success story for this couple. They, and the Ellis Bird Farm tea house, both prospered. Youth, education, enthusiasm and great cooking have enabled them to move on to new culinary and career challenges, at which they will undoubtedly also excel.

Thus another chapter for Ellis Bird Farm is soon to begin. The erstwhile farmhouse / tea house will now graduate to the status of Café, to reflect the diverse menu options, the further expansion into more and bigger catered meals and events, and the exciting freshness and originality of the culinary offerings of the successful candidates who will guide the Ellis farmhouse kitchen in 2016. All that being said, it will still be the go-to place for great ice cream and pie; and Winnie Ellis’ Bluebird Scones with homemade preserves will remain as traditional and iconic as ever, beloved by locals and visitors alike.

At press time, applications for the position of Chef/Manager are still being accepted and can be emailed to: [email protected]

This is an outstanding opportunity for a couple or a partnership with a sense of adventure, great culinary and management skills, a love of good food and good cooking, an appreciation for nature and agriculture, a sense of history and a sense of humour, a liking for “family” and an interest in visiting birds and people, of all kinds. The beauty and unique ambience at Ellis are there to be shared, enriched and enjoyed by those who appreciate the finer things in life…

We look forward to new developments and will keep our readers updated as 2016 unfolds and brings exciting happenings in the Ellis world, of the old, the new and the culinary. Please keep yourselves warm in the remaining winter months; spring is just around the corner - the birds have promised!
