Each year, when it is time for the Derby, I am reminded of
\nhow my grandparents enjoyed the celebration of this race \u2013 and how much I love the memories of my grandparents.<\/p>\n

Mark and Peytie Scearce had a long and loving marriage,
\nand my grandfather was always looking for ways to surprise and delight Peytie. Nothing made him happier than seeing
\nmy grandmother smile!<\/p>\n

One year, Mark contacted a local artist named Eloise
\nBurnett (no relation to me) of Louisville, Kentucky. Her work has been displayed in The Speed Museum of Louisville, the Wakefield-Scearce Galleries in Shelbyville, Kentucky among many other places. Because Mark and Peytie were regular attendees of the Kentucky Derby, he asked Ms. Burnett if she would make a custom purse for Peytie \u2013 a one-of-a-kind purse that Peytie could carry in celebration of the Derby.<\/p>\n
