Robert Williamson (1885-1954) was by all accounts a master of many crafts and an early entrepreneur. After having fished with his father and uncle for several years around 1920 he opened a barber shop along with a cycle agency and cycle repair shop in Commercial Street, Lerwick. Then, apparently, he turned his interests to wireless sets, and this business flourished throughout Shetland. Next he took to photography, which greatly interested him, and he opened a studio across from the existing businesses. He took many passport photos during the war, and used some of his outside views to print postcards for tourists later on. Also, according to the records, he excelled as a wood craftsman, once winning a cup at an Arts and Crafts Exhibition. Added to all this he was interested in Fair Isle knitting, and possibly knitted himself. He collected patterns and printed them in standard exercise books using stencils. The patterns were usually printed in red and green bands, and these would have indicated to the knitter where a colour change usually occurred. Interspersed with these traditional patterns are ‘fantasy’ patterns … He even printed the letters of the alphabet. In total, I have managed to study some 60 different pages (excluding the tartan book which I treat separately), and it is these traditional patterns that I have used for this catalogue. It is by no means an exhaustive collection of all the different pages he ever printed, but simply all that I have had the privilege to see and record. Some readers will be surprised that many of the more popular patterns, for instance those that repeat on 12 stitches, are absent from this work. All that I can say is that they are either newer patterns or simply ones that he did not print or that I have not seen. – Mary Macgregor.

Incredibly hydrating but unbearable scent.
Size: 1.3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I love all Avène skin barrier creams, recovery lotions and i just purchased this "Hydrance" cream. Texture is nice, it's unbelievably hydrating but the scent is overwhelming. It caused me a headache. So I decided to return it. Then I thought I'll give it another try and Oh my.... For the love of God, remove that awful scent. The reason I love Avène product is because theyre unscented, except this one I guess :/

Perfect Statue
Color: Venus - Large Antique, Color: Venus - Large Antique
This Venus De Milo statue is gorgeous. It is very sturdy but not too heavy…….. it appears heavier than it is which I adore since it is a statue. It has an “aged” coloring around the facial features and intricate details which makes it more authentic looking. I love Greek mythology and this piece is a perfect addition to my living room decor. Definitely worth the price.

Just perfect for that small nook on your bookshelf.
Color: Venus - Large Antique
A beautiful bust small enough to display in a small nook area of a shelf. It isn’t a masterpiece, but it is definitely worth the value for the money.
