My wonderful purchases

Went for coffee with Sunni, Tina and Loretta Thursday before the Show and Sale. Tina told me about a lawyer's office of Bespaq furniture she had for sale plus two of Georgee Prowkiw's wonderful miniature copies of Old Master paintings.

Georgee was a member of M.E.E. for several years and excelled in just about everything mini although she was probably best known for her porcelain dolls and her paintings. She died in 2012 at the age of 85. You can see her obituary here.

I bought the pictures on the spot but did wait a couple hours before buying the furniture which also included a rug hand-sticked by Tina. Only to give her time to send me pictures although I had pretty much made up my mind even before seeing them.

I had a Wooton desk that I bought last year but it's made of resin and certainly doesn't begin to 

                                                           compare with this one.

When Sunni saw it on Thursday, she grabbed Sir John A. MacDonald off my coffee table and insisted her belonged in it!

Books included!

It has a wood-framed glass cover but the back is mirrored so I didn't take a picture with it on. I'll be covering the mirror with matboard and wainscoting. Tina also gave me a selection of Law diplomas and such along with some Victorian documents so I have some work to do to make it my own but I am thrilled to have it.
