Learn about antiques at historical society

June 13, 2014   ·   0 Comments

Collecting, decorating with and identifying antiques will be the subject of the next meeting of the Caledon East and District Historical Society.
The meeting will be June 25 at St. James’ Anglican Church in Caledon East, starting at 7:30 p.m.
The speaker will be Annette Turturici of the Inglewood Antique Market.
“Being brought up in the country, I was surrounded with ‘old stuff,’ but didn’t think about pursuing antiques until I was in my early 40s,” Turturici said.
She and her husband Phil completed a history of furniture course at Seneca College, and rented a booth at Harbour Front Antique Market, where they worked part-time for four years. They purchased the antique market in December, 1999 and have become well-known as the place to go for antiques.
She will have only time to identify perhaps six to eight items for the audience after her talk, and she asks that there be no jewelry or art requests.
Admission to the meeting will be free for members, and $5 for visitors.
