In memorium of Petra Wilkinson - Enchanted Mercantile




Petra Wilkinson
It was the privilege of my live to have been Petra’s husband, friend, lover, life partner, soul mate, and so much more. I will miss her more than words could ever express.
My beloved Petra was the most caring, intuitive, and most sensitive person that I have ever known. She aspired to lift the spirits of everyone she came in contact with and saw to good in everyone. She empathized with those with problems and tried with all her abilities to help and comfort them.
From our home in Evergreen, Colorado, Petra expressed herself as an artist and created Enchanted Mercantile, a WEB based business that provided graphic art resources and images to scrape bookers and artists. Her business held so much promise and clearly showed off her amazing talents.
Petra was also involved with animal adoptions and was the volunteer web-mistress for “adopt a friend for life” in Michigan. Her dedication, caring, and enthusiasm for the cause were highly recognized and very much appreciated.
Over the past year and a half, Petra faced many health challenges. She fought a battle with cervical cancer complicated by renal kidney failure and beet the odds! In August of this year she was cancer free! Unfortunitely Petra could not overcome the effects of the treatment and after a courageous battle she passed from us. She never gave up the fight, and up until her passing she believed with all her heart, mind and soul that she would be well again.
I will always carry her in my heart. As I move on with my life I will continue to celebrate Petra’s time on earth, love for life, and her amazing accomplishments – and try not to concentrate on her passing. She is in a better place, free from pain, and with those that love her. I know in my heart that she will always watch over me and all those she loved until we eventually join her in her peace.

Thank you, Steve, for sharing these memories of Petra. I didn't know she was involved with animal adoptions, but it fits right in with everything I did know about her. Petra was with me from the very beginning of my business. Her encouragement and generous nature helped me grow my business into what it is today. I couldn't have done it without her, and I am so very grateful. She will indeed be missed, but I am thankful for the time that I knew her.

Steve~ this is a beautiful memorial page for Petra, thank you so much for sharing with us~ I wish for you & your family, peace within, I will keep all of you in my prayers~

Petra was such an inspiration to me~ When I first discovered altered art/collage, she was the first person that I bought from & stayed true to her, I have all her cd's ;) She was always so supportive of my art & encouraged me many times. I always loved to chat with her she always had such wonderful words of wisdom. Right now I can't even create art, because I am so sad about her passing, but my inspirations shall return & I will hold Petra's vintage images close to my heart~

Ms. Delaise was a precious soul indeed!!!

Wow, It was already sometime back in 2005 when Steve found me on-line advertising my real estate services in Evergreen. I listed their home shortly after and began speaking with Petra regularly. She was simply one of those people in life that I made a connection with. It was her love of animals, great energy and healthy perspective of the universe. I last ran into her at the grocery store and commented on how good and healthy she looked. When I got the news, I was shocked & Upset that I never had a chance to say good-bye. We hadn't spoken in quite a while, but nonetheless, Petra was a true friend and I'll continue to keep you both in my thoughts. Thank you for sharing and providing us the opportunity to participate.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful thoughts about your wife. I was a customer for several years, and always appreciated the unique perceptions of beauty and the relationships between images that she brought to her work. She will be missed very much by many.

Steve, Thank you for such a wonderful tribute to Petra. Petra and I were friends for almost 40 years. We were very close while we both lived in Michigan and had some great times together. The last time I heard from her was June 2008. I am heartbroken to hear she is no longer with us..I loved her like a sister. I am so very happy she found someone as special as you to spend the rest of her life with. I will miss her forever. Judy

I bought some of her altered art, beautiful fairies.

I'm so sad to have learned of her passing.

I've posted one of her fairies on my page http://simplesue.tumblr.com/
with a credit to her art and a link to her page.

I have featured some of her images on my blog with this link. I use her images so often in my challenge art for personal use only. Her collections are a treasure to me!
