Maisie Dobbs

Friday, February 3rd, 2012 by 

I first met her a number of years ago when I was recovering from a bit of surgery and a friend lent me the first book (and only book, then) by Jacqueline Winspear about Maisie Dobbs.

Friday, January 27th, 2012 by 

I am a fan of salvaged goods. Back in college, we used to have a system of goods exchange. Unwanted items were left in the dormitory hall. Other dorm residents were free to snap up and repurpose the items in a new wardrobe or dorm room.

Eat and Peek

Monday, September 12th, 2011 by 

Did you know the Hastings Museum holds a free monthly brown bag lunch series? Yup. We do. We’ve been doing this for almost two years. Each month we discuss a different topic using artifacts from the collection, some of which haven’t been seen by the public for several years. Afterwards, you can pull on the bright green curator gloves and touch the objects for yourself.
