City Centre The Moment Features Martin Swinton’s VoiceAmerica Antiques Radio Show
January 29, 2007Promoting Let’s Talk Antiques radio show on The VoiceAmerica Channel
January 23, 2007I’m working fast and furious as we are counting down to the February 5th launch of Martin’s radio show on The VoiceAmerica Channel . The first four guests have been booked. The press release has been sent out into the universe. The landline phone and headset have been purchased at Future Shop so Martin doesn’t get a square ear during the one hour show. A little more training from the good folks at The VoiceAmerica Channel and a few more rehearsals for Martin and that should just about be it. Oh yeah, I still have to tutor Martin, my non-computer guy, on how to use Outlook Express so he can read listeners’ emails. That’s right, he’s not very computer savvy, but give him a break, his expertise is that old stuff not the new stuff.

Take-A-Boo Loves Some Things Cozy
January 14, 2007We met Suze Katz from Some Things Cozy last October at the Canadian Home and Country Show put on by the good folks at Canadian Home and Country magazine. The February/March 2007 issue features Suze and her cuddly, cozy, blankets. Her work is just great. It’s fun to see pieces of old sweaters that you might have worn years ago that you directed to Value Village (during a spring cleaning binge) reappearing in a new life as a blanket. Suze’s sister was at the show with a selection of her fashionable scarves. What a creative pair of sibs.

Take-A-Boo Emporium replates silverplate and repairs sterling silver
January 4, 2007
We’re back from our Christmas break and looking forward to 2007.
I guess we aren’t busy enough with our cording, rushing and caning repairs, furniture restoration, consulting and custom upholstery because we’re introducing silverplating in 2007.
Why? Because lots of people have worn silverplate trays, trophies, candlesticks and sorry looking silverplate, and have come in to ask if we can help them. Now we can.
We’ll also repair any dents that it might have and re-attach any broken handles, feet etc.
Plus, we are able to repair sterling silver; repair any dents or re-attach any broken handles, feet etc. that it might have.
Returning it all to its original sparkling glory.
Phew…looks like it’ll be another busy year.
