Hand Painted Tea Set Made in France

A blessing arrived on June 1, 1995 on the birth of my first Grandchild, Kaney Richele. 

She was named after her Great Aunt Caroline Marcovitch, Kaney, being her nick-name. 

Caroline loved the finest and had a Hand Painted Tea Set made in France. 


On September 8, 2023 the Tea Set was pasted on to Kaney Richele. 

Caroline  was born in Winnipeg 1913 to Mr. and Mrs. Abe Marcovitch. She was raised in a humble home on 610 Dewdney Avenue, Regina Saskatchewan. Her father and mother immigrated from Romania in the late 1890, settling in Winnipeg then moved to Cupar, Saskatchewan before coming to Regina.

She married Sidney Bercovitch and in 1941 "Sid Sunflowers Seeds" was founded. Caroline spent long hours in her kitchen roasting seeds. From the kitchen stove they graduated to the garage. The demand for seeds led to buying a larger place and bigger stove. In 1943 they purchased a livery barn, with two wooden doors, at 1323 Lorne Street, Regina Where they ran a successful business until Sidney’s death in 1973. Caroline passed away in 1996.
