Many apologies for the delay in posting! All is abuzz with summer activity for this author, and thus our poor blog sat neglected for some time. Rest assured - the staff at Chiefswood are still very busy gearing up for the exhibit, and offering regular tours of the museum (now open Tues - Sun, 10 - 3, and also on selected summer nights!) . To whet your curiosity here are some exclusive images of Pauline Johnson's belongings which will be part of the exhibit this August 15.
Red Booties!How posh. I saw a pair not unlike these today whilst shopping. Looks like Pauline was not just a literary icon, but perhaps a fashion icon as well.
Fischer's Foot Powder!
Not only was she posh, she was polished too. Foot powder for gallavanting in those fierce boots.
Soap In A Dish!
Cleanliness next to Godliness.

Rimmel's Lavender Water!Lavender is noted as favorite scent among the Johnson women.
Canoe PaddleThe story behind the canoe paddle is that Pauline kept it hanging above her headboard during her years at Chiefswood.
Stay tuned for more blog updates! The exhibit is right around the corner and there are many artifacts not to be missed.
