I
didn't realise until recently that a collection of things depicting fuchsias is
Fuchsia Lore. I have collected fuchsia related items manly linen and china
spasmodically for many years but in September
2005 I visited Adelaide and was taken on drive to visit several members of the
Australian Fuchsia Society. I was amazed to see the range of items of Fuchsia
Lore, one member had collected. I came back after a tour of Barossa and
Riverlands of SA with several additions to my small collection. Since then a
trawl of the local Antique shops uncovered more, and THEN my friend
indoctrinated me into EBay. Well I have had parcels from several countries and
my newly acquired glass display case is nearly full. So I am trying to decide
where else I can display items. I also have several "crafty" friends
who have made me a range of fuchsia craft items in a range of materials as well
as decorating items.
Another trip to SA and Vict. necessitated 2 more cases in March 2008 to house my collection.
Pictures of part of my collection in the case.
