New Donations to Crawford House
Child’s Singer sewing machine with box, instructions, needles, table attachment and two dresses made by the owner as a child. Donated by Phyllis Gower who grew up at Perry’s Hill, Alstonville, the machine was given to her as a birthday present. The box itself is a little gem with the words “as the twig is bent so the tree will grow” as a motto on the front. The Society thanks Phyllis for this donation which comes with a lovely story and provenance. The Society collects documents, photographs and items which have a connection to the Alstonville area and Ballina Shire. In particular it collects women’s handicrafts. So if you would like to donate to the Museum please contact the office on (02) 6628 1829.
