Here are Penny and Shaina, carrying on the usual winter work of the Colonial Wardrobe department. I took this during the December session last week. I think here they’re trying to decide whether that shirt is worth saving or is ready to be recycled as a rag.

Behind Penny you can glimpse one of the several racks full of washed clothing awaiting mending.Penny and Shaina, aided by our valiant volunteers and Paulette and Norah (that second picture is Norah, who has also been doing a little jacket embroidery this week, after a tutorial or two from Tricia last week), our December helpers from the Colonial Interpretation Department, have been doing a record quick job of washing and mending. This is especially important this winter as we’ve got so much else going on, including four embroidery sessions in January alone. I’d like to thank them all for their hard work and good humour and wish them happy, restful holidays.
