The Collectors

Last Wednesday morning we held a 'Collectors' morning tea at Catherine's house. Her collections have featured on the ABC show, The Collectors. She has some amazing things and even more so are the amazing stories behind some of the pieces she has collected.

Catherine started collecting different things about 20 yrs ago and now has a range of collections ranging from tin plates and paintings, black Japanese pottery, lids and buttons.

Catherine is very creative and talented. She has a degree in Fine Arts and has done her Masters.She also loves to dabble in card-making and pottery.
