Dreams do come true at Montgomery’s

Almost all of the 20,000 objects we look after at the Wetaskiwin and District Heritage Museum were donated to us by people like you, including this blue blouse that was once purchased in our building when it was Montgomery’s department store.

This week we are not going to talk about anything donated, however, because the other items you see, those great purple chairs and the three-way mirror, have their own special story. When we purchased the building from the Montgomery’s and moved in 2004 it came with some furnishings which we used in various ways.

Fast forward seven years to when I started. The purple chairs were upstairs beside the elevator for people to sit on. After many visits from those who used to shop at Montgomery’s mentioning how much they loved the fact that we still had the chairs from the ladies fashion department dressing room, I wanted to give the chairs the attention they deserved with their own special display. I had a vision of a mock dressing room and really needed a three-way mirror to set the stage. We did not have one, however, and I do not know if you have tried to purchase a three-way mirror recently, but they are not cheap.

Just when I had given up hope on my dream display Currie Campbell came in. She had made the tough decision to close down her store Just Right and wanted to know if we wanted our mirror back. I did not go to look at it, I just said yes, and Megan and my husband went next door to get it. They came back immediately saying they needed a dolly because it was really heavy and had a crack in it already. You can only imagine my reaction when they came back with the three-way mirror of my dreams! My assumption of course is that it is one of those furnishings that came with the building, and while I have yet had anyone that can confirm this with certainty I know it was meant to be with those chairs because that is just the relationship this building and I have!
