The family recently went on vacation to Maine. We really enjoyed our time at Bar Harbor and Bangor. The whole New England region is a pleasure to stay around. During our time there we visited a number of Antique shops in region. And I found a diamond “in the rough”.
Bangor had a number of Antique shops and one had my Tunbridge box sitting there needing some love and care. See below for photos:
The exterior of box is what attracted me – it was in very good condition. The interior was what needed work. Literally had to put back together, like a jigsaw puzzle.
Had to take a trip to JoAnn’s for a new velvet interior – and hours of gluing and fitting later, a box was remade.
It is a great improvement without taking the “age” out of it. Check out my stores on Ebay and Etsy!
