All year long we save Holiday décor and books. Someone sorts it out as it comes in, then the
boss goes over it one more time before it’s priced. This year, Bill priced most of it, and carried
the heavy boxes upstairs into storage.
Yesterday at four PM, Bill, Keith, and another Bill carried
all the boxes down and a horde of volunteers began putting the holiday things
out on the floor. George worked through
lunch, and we were there to help with the boxes. The boss had him carry my four saved plastic
bins of books out, and I made room for the new.
The boss prepares the shop for the change over. Tables are emptied, displays are changed, and
the store is readied for this once a year extravaganza. And it is.
Today there will be a long line waiting to get in at ten. I will be hiding in the back taking in the
old. Yes, there will be Holiday
donations coming in, few Hanukkah things this year, and I wish there were
more. We will see.
Tis' the season. Good luck with the sale, hope it makes loads of $$ for the shop.
ReplyDeleteThanks....for the American Cancer Society. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you all do well with your extravaganza. Dianne
ReplyDeleteI am thinking Thanksgiving...Christmas is for later.
ReplyDeleteLooks like loads of fun!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I can see why there would be a long line to get in. It looks wonderfully festive.
ReplyDeleteWow.. what an event. I can see why there would be so few Hanukkah items. When it comes to this time of the year, Hanukkah is the menorah-ty event. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic! And it obviously has a reputation with those crowds who come (each year, I imagine.)
ReplyDeleteMake sure you don't hump any boxes!
