Edinburgh mum to sell off striking Union Jack table she made for Queen's Jubilee

An upcycling guru from Edinburgh is hoping to raise hundreds of pounds for charity this weekend by auctioning off a unique jubilee themed table that she refurbished in honour of The Queen’s seventieth anniversary on the throne.

Cathie Purves, 63, has been running Ruby Rose Upcycling in Roseburn Terrace for over two years and has decided to combine her passions of redecorating worn out furniture with fundraising to donate money to and raise awareness of breast cancer charity Walk The Walk.

Cathie has been an avid supporter of Walk The Walk for over a decade and is hoping that the current hype surrounding The Queen’s Jubilee will attract high bids for her table at auction which takes place at the Platinum Jubilee Party In The Park event in Roseburn Park this Friday. Half of of the accepted offer will be donated to the charity.
