Magpie's Hoard
People collect all sort things: seashells, shot glasses, bottle tops, matches, comics, coins and cards.
Melissa Levin collects a bit of everything.
Culled from years of riffling through markets, bric-a-brac shops and estate sales, her collection of vintage fabrics, board games, teapots, toys and biscuit tins is currently on sale at her temporary pop-up shop near Parkdale.
Brocade and jacquard curtains sourced from hotels in Germany would make wonderful fabric for cushions or clothes à la Maria von Trapp.
If this is the year of up-cycling Christmas presents, we suggest you peddle there, pronto.
Open until December 30, 1080 Queen St. W., Toronto, 416-399-5557.
