As a volunteer at my church, I was responsible for getting a baptismal ewer repaired. A year ago…read morea jeweler fixed it but the repair didn't last and the cross on the lid came off again. This ewer is very important to the church because it has been there since 1956. I searched and searched and I felt that there had to be someone in the whole of Vancouver who could do this repair and then I found Donald's Innovations and Repairs on Google. He was very methodical in examining the baptismal ewer to see if he could do the repairs before he accepted the job. He then kept in touch via e-mail with photos of the progress he was making and the whole job was finished in one week. We are very satisfied with the finished product - it looks great and will now continue to be of service to the church for many years. Thank you Donald. Elizabeth Marshall President of the Altar Guild

Miran (the artist and owner) was very friendly and accommodating as we looked around and I handed over the credit card. He threw in a nice Hamsa (see picture) and a dragonfly as a bonus. I then saw another piece (a Hanukah Menorah) that I now need to think about. :) I also fessed up to Gayle that late last year, I had Miran make me a nice cast iron travel Shabbat candle stick piece. Although Miran does a reasonable Judaica business, his actual inventory goes well beyond that. But maybe he should have a separate online section off his website?
