We have very exciting news. Today Elaine Frost, a friend of the store, visited to tell us about an event she is organizing through the charity Furniture Bank. Furniture Bank accepts donations of gently used household furnishings from Torontonians and gives (at no charge) them to people in need—mostly women and children from shelters, new immigrants/refugees, and the homeless.
Furniture Bank is is hosting an event, The Chair Affair. Thirty Toronto designers have created works of (usable!) art out of donated chairs. These one-of-a-kind exquisite pieces of furniture will be auctioned off, in both silent and live formats, at the Steamwhistle Brewery on October 21st, 2010. Toronto Antiques on King is proudly selling tickets to this event. Tickets are $100/per person; income tax receipts are available. For more information please visit www.furniturebank.org/chairaffair
