Jim and Shirley Downie,
Live in Mission, British Columbia, Canada. At the age of seventeen,
Jim left home in Scotland to join the merchant marine as an
officer cadet and found his love for exploring other lands
and cultures. Taking a break from the merchant marine, he
travelled to Vancouver where he met and married Shirley. They
moved to Mission in 1973 and started their family; Susan was
born in 1974, followed by their son, Stephen in 1975.
The family loved to travel and between 1976 and 1990 they
traveled to Scotland, England, Mainland U.S.A., Hawaii, Mexico,
Costa Rica, Carribean and Thailand. On each trip they visited
local artisans and brought back momentos to enhance their
home.
After the children left home , they continued travelling
and journeyed to Turkey and enjoyed seven trips to Southeast
Asia. Asia won their hearts for its beauty and warm, friendly
people. It was in Southeast Asia that they found a shop that
sold wonderful marble sculpture. They bought a Buddha sculpture
and had it shipped home to Mission.
The Buddha was moved to their tranquility garden and both
enjoyed the feeling of peace that emulated from it. The company
was started in response to the many inquiries of how these
beautiful and serene sculputures could be acquired.After We
hope that you also enjoy the wonderful ambience of these home
and garden sculptures.
