This past Tuesday, I was able to get back to volunteering at the Costume Museum after nearly 2 years of not being available because of my work schedule.
This session was not hands on as the group was planning the display coming up next month. It will be a display of things bought at the now defunct Eaton’s store. Alas, there will be no Victorian items but there will be a few Edwardian things.
During the meeting I did score something for my home…a display piece that was being chucked because of wobbly legs. I have a few handy fellows in my family so I saved it from the garbage bin.
I think it may have originally been a desk. It is tall enough. I fell in love with the handle! It is solid wood…not veneer and particle board. I may get it refinished but honestly, I don’t mind the scratches. The chip in one leg is easily hidden if moved to the back. It just needs some glue and a few bolts tightened!
