Today I’m giving away this piece of wooden wall art. It’s about 12″ x 12″. It used to hang on a narrow wall, along with a few other smallish pieces, in a corner of my living room. I liked the colour, the baroque thing, the hand tooling on the wood surround, and the fact that it used to be a panel in the door of a large wooden cabinet. It felt like recycling to me. I bought it for a couple bucks at a little antique store in Bancroft. I haven’t had it out in a long time. I really like art on the walls so this has sat in a storage cupboard.
I thought it would be perfect for the loonie/twonie sale at my nephew’s school. It’s early to start collecting for that but his mom, my sister, said she was happy to take stuff now for the sale in December. It’s such a great fundraising event for his school that they gather things for a long time. She may regret telling me that; we’ll see if I’m testing her enthusiasm.
How do you spell twonie?
Or is it toonie?
