The

manufacturers seeking high quality images with stunning print results.
Averyl
Hill, the owner of Hillstock was inspired by her grandmother's collection
of Victorian "scraps" and ephemera that she has collected
throughout the course of her lifetime. She thought that others would
cherish and enjoy the images for use in their projects, crafts and
packaging. Averyl also draws upon her Master of Science in Counseling-
her formal training included the use of art therapy to influence
moods. With her background and sharp eye she selects images that
for many people evoke happiness and peace.
As
a family owned business we do not want to just make a living; we
want to pass on a way of life- the good old days. Averyl continues
to add to the growing number of rare vintage and Victorian images
in our collection. We also believe that many of the early American
illustrators embraced an innocence and magic that modern society
craves.
Giving
back to the community has always been a practice of ours. Hillstock
has sponsored a cage at our local animal shelter, was a national
corporate sponsor of Toys for Tots in 2005, has donated art to the
Scarborough, Maine veterans home, the historic Victoria Mansion
and other important causes.
