Vintage treasures

Last weekend the vendors of the Lafayette Mill Antiques Center hosted “Restoration Days,” a two-day event to which the public was invited. Customers came to see the tricks of the trade used to restore a full range of antiques from furniture to dolls. Restoration tools and materials were available for sale at the event and individual vendors gave demonstrations on restorative processes and offered tips to those who wanted to take on projects themselves.
