Margaret Gordus: Remakes of Projects Lost in the Camp Fire

Using gifts from miniature friends, Margaret was able to complete these projects that she lost in the 2018 Camp Fire.

Margaret writes:
Members of “the miniature world” made it possible for me to complete the little girl’s room, toy shop & Oriental room. There are no truer words than, “Only through sharing can we really enjoy our treasures.”

Margaret’s club had made the gypsy wagon as a project. Club member, Melba Wellsfry, gave Margaret an unfinished wagon, which Margaret completed as a gift for her son.
