Garage Sale & Ice Cream Social
Now is the time to start going through your fabrics, notions, patterns, books, etc. Bring items you no longer use, or have duplicates of, to sell at our garage sale. The seller keeps all the sale proceeds. Please provide your own change. We will arrange time for sellers to shop also. It may be a good idea to bring a tote or two for your purchases. If there are specific items (perhaps larger items you are interested in selling) we can mention these items in the May newsletter.
