Out Of
Your Attic Thrift Shop News
Several ladies have come into the
shop looking for pieces of glassware or china to build “totems.”
I had to ask-what are totems?
They are sculptures you
create yourself from odd pieces of glass plates, upside down
stemware, odd glass shades, plates, tea cups, ornaments or anything
you can glue together. Then I read an article about a shop
that is selling “recycled garden art.” What totems were in
2009 are now “recycled garden art.”
Good news, you can
still make your own, with plates, candle holders, old ashtrays make
great bases, any favorite memento (shot glass) and they make great
sun catchers in your garden or special section of your lawn.
Our prices start at $.25 and for a few dollars, you create your own
recycled garden art.
If you know someone in need of a baby
layette bag, just let us know a week ahead and Sylvia can bring one

We are open Mon. 8-12, Tues. and
Thurs. 8-4, Wed. 11-4 and Fri. and Sat. 10-4. Remember, we’re
in the Blueberry Plaza, painted yellow (have to find out why
someday) Our phone number is 247-7191.

of songs from around the world on guitar, banjo, and
percussion. Her repertoire draws on the international
songs of her Music Together classes using many rhythms and modes,
songs from the folk revival in the 60s (Harry Belafonte, Pete
Seeger, Ella Jenkins) and more songs from around the world today.
Drawing young audiences, parents and grandparents into the
experience of singing, Conley sends people home with songs in their
hearts. Light refreshments will be served after the
performance. This is for everyone in town. All are
welcome. Mark your calendar now.
