Margaret Gordus: Remakes of Projects Lost in the Camp Fire

November 20, 20201 Comment

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.

The little girl’s room includes a NAME Day project.

This corner room box showcases NAME Day kits.

Our Little Mini Club Chico/Paradise wishes to thank the “Miniature
World,” who opened their hearts by having fundraisers, workshops and
donations after six members lost their homes in the Camp Fire/Paradise
wildfire on November 8, 2018.

On March 19, 2019, we received gift cards, notes and greeting cards from NAME members and non-members. Words cannot express our gratitude for the support,
generosity and kindness of friends and strangers.

Your thoughtfulness will always be remembered!

Do you know where to find some of these items?

Margaret Gordus would like to make a replacement roombox for her great-grandaughter. The original roombox was lost in the fire.

Margaret is searching for the following:

Names of the artist(s) that make dolls like the ones shown in the photo.
Roundtable kits similar to the ones shown in the photo.
Book from the Minneapolis houseparty (souvenir?). The book is about trees, signed by the author.
A wicker stand similar to the one shown in the photo.

Please send any information to Margaret Gordus.

Margaret writes, “I gave a cousin some canvas years ago, and she sent me these [miniatures] this year. The roses were done for me by her china painting teacher (good things come to you eventually). I painted 4 of the oils.”
