Unique mirrors to be
displayed at Country Fair
BY ANNE NAREJKO
Imagination can go along way, and when
you have the drive to follow it through, the
product can be very rewarding. Doug
Chamney is one person who took his ideas
and turned them into tangible objects.
About one year ago Chamney started to
attend flea markets and garage sales,
picking up odd shaped window frames to
refinish and make into creative mirrors.
"I had seen the window frames with
mirrors in them before and I really liked
them. I've always liked working with my
hands, so I made a few and gave them
away as presents," explained Chamney.
His hobby began to blossom as the result
of the good response he received, so
Chamney put another idea to work.
"I'm always looking for odd and unusual
frames and I thought that washboard
mirrors would be a good idea," he com-
mented.
The Auburn native takes the wash-
boards, removes the glass from them,
sands the frame down and then refinishes
the wood, giving it either a natural or a
stained look with a high gloss or satin
finish -
The mirrors come in all different sizes
and shapes. They vary from four panes to
six panes, with some of them having
coloured glass added to them to highlight
the mirrors. The washboard mirrors range
from large to small.
Even though Chamney has not been
promoting the sales end of his craft as
much as he would like to, he does have a
few of his creative mirrors in The Blyth
Saga and The Hollow in Benmiller. He has
also been invited to the Colborne Township
Christmas Country Fair.
Chamney, who has displayed his work at
the Auburn fair and a few flea markets,
has never taken his craft to anything as
large as the Christmas Country Fair. He is
going to go well prepared, taking a large
variety of mirrors with him.
Most of Chamney's sales have come
from people wanting to buy gifts, and he
claims, "they make great gifts because
there are never two the same." But he gets
more enjoyment out of making them, then
he does selling them.

. Mrs. Ethel Yeo of R B. 3 Clinton, has
perhaps cornered the market on designer
clothes, for Barbie dolls that is.
Ethel has been keeping Barbie Dolls
warm for about 36 years now, and with tine
arrival of her first grandchild she intendato
keep up the good work.
In the past Ethel knitted, sewed and
crocheted these cute little numbers for -
nieces, nephews and friends. Today her
nieces and nephews have grown up, but
Ethel keeps on sewing and knitting.
"I sell most of my clothing by word of -
mouth now," explained Mrs• Yeo.
In a few weeks "Clothing by Ethel Yeo"
can be seen at the 18th Annual Colborne
Christmas Fair.
Right now Ethel is frantically sewing and
knitting to keep up with the deadline.
Colborne
Country Fair
is drawing near
By

On October 19, 22 and 23rd, Colborne
Township will be hosting its 18th annual
Christmas Fair. Craftsmen and women will
be displaying their wares to all who visit the
fair to 'shop early before the rush'. The
craftsmen will come from all over mid-
western Ontario and will be bringing with
them everything from dough dolts to plant
hangers to designer clothes.
Donna Crawford of RR 4 Goderich is this
year's organizer for the craftsmen. A
member of the Bluewater Chapter 284 of the
Order of the Eastern Star, Mrs. Crawford
has been the craft organizer for one year.
Previously, Mrs. Evelyn Hardy of Goderich
was the organizer.
"Mrs. Hardy had been doing this job for 17
years and,J think that the job may have been
a bit tiring for her," explained Mrs.
Crawford.
The job was advertised in a local paper
and Donna Crawford and her chapter ap-
plied for the position. They received the job
over other applicants and have -been the of-
ficial organizers since August of this year.
"I am considered a Matron of the Order of
the Eastern Star. Each Matron must have a
money making project each year," said
Mrs. Crawford. "This is my money making
project for this year."
According to Mrs. Crawford, the money
from the baked goods will go to the.Order of
the Eastern Star, and the money from
everything else will be donated to Alexan-
dra Marine and General Hospital in
Goderich.
The craft displays will be set up in the
Saltford Valley Hall, half a kilometre north
of Goderich. There will be a lunch and
refreshments are provided along with door
prizes. Admission for adults is 50 cents and
children under 12 must be accompanied by
an adult.

the designs a dozen at a time

Oti odd' balls of wool from area
stores iii uding'tile Dutch Store in Clinton.
The material is given to. her by fellow
sewers,.down the road and by a nephew,
David NNW, who owns a men's clothing
store m Godei eh. Mr. White offers the cut-
tings from alterations to his aunt.
After Ethel has done as much work as she
can on the sewing machine, she sits down
and sews the seams and buttons on by hand.
"This way I can watch the idiot box at the
same time," laughed Ethel.
Some patterns for the clothing have been
purchased, but the majority are originals.
She also co bines the patterns and her
ideas to creat a unique design.
When Eth isn't sewing and knitting for
friends and airs, she's getting out the wool
and needles for The Wardrobe, a ladies
clothing shop in Bayfield.
"I have been knitting for them all summer
and I guess I'll knit all winter for them too,".
added Ethel.
This isn't the first time the public will be
able to view Ethel's designs.
"I entered them at the Colborne
Christmas Fair once before, a few years
ago," she said. "I sold everything I had, and
I could have sold a lot more."
An old age pensioner, Ethel considers
what she does just a hobby.
"I love doing what I do ... you bet!" beam-
ed Ethel.

Ethel Yeo begins the first stitches towards creating a personal design for Barbie Dolls.
Each design is unique because Mrs. Yeo loves her hobby and therefore gives each crea-
tion individual attention. Her work will be featured at the Christmas Country Fair in
Saltford. (Wendy Somerville Photo)
