Aunt Jenny isn’t a character — she’s a lineage.

It begins in 1934, when my grandparents Walter and Joy Ashford began making wooden spinning wheels and looms in New Zealand. Joy was the daughter of Jennifer Rendall, a writer and maker whose long-running Home Journal column, Greener Pastures, shared everyday wisdom on crafted living. She signed every piece simply — Aunt Jenny — and her words travelled far beyond her home at Inch Clutha, shaping generations of makers.

That story now lives with me.

I’m Rewa — daughter of Gay Epstein, who founded Ashford Australia in 1984, granddaughter of Walter and Joy, and great-granddaughter of Jennifer, the original Aunt Jenny. When Ashford Australia moved online, I chose the name Aunt Jenny to bring the story full circle — carrying forward a legacy of trust, longevity, and living a crafted life. Whether you’re restoring a wheel decades old or choosing your first, you’re part of the same story.

Four generations. One trusted name.
