Who doesn’t need an enormous wooden spinning wheel?
A great question, and one that can only come from the Richmond Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store in Steveston.
Yes, the converted church on Chatham Street continues to attract the most bizarre of donations, not least this latest treasure.
The wheel would not have looked out of place in hit TV show Once Upon a Time, which was filmed right there in village until a few years ago.
It’s going for $50 if anyone fancies spinning out a yarn or three.
Talking of stories, there is likely one behind the store’s other standout this week, a figure skate signed by Viktor Petrenko, Oksana and “someone else possibly famous?” suggests thrift store staff.
Note that the store is closed on Saturday, Sept. 30 to mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
