COFFEE & HANDBAGS

 

We are all well aware of the fast turnover of clothing items and of the huge impact this is having on our planet. Making sure that our clothes and accessories are used for a longer time is of the utmost importance and buying PRELOVED is the best way forward if we are to head off catastrophe.

Do you have accessories which you no longer desire? Why not sell them at our 50/50 ACCESSORIES SALE in Ridlington? If your items sell, you will receive 50% of the sold price! The other 50% will go to Ridlington Church funds.

So, root out your preloved HANDBAGS, SCARVES, GLOVES, JEWELLERY, HATS AND BELTS. All pieces should be in good  clean condition please. I can buff up tired leather handbags.

Your items should be delivered to Margie Wall 8, East Lane or Debra Thatcher 3, Main Street, by Wednesday June 15th.  A written note with your name and contact details should be included with an idea of the price if you so wish.

If your item does not sell, you can take it home or leave it for the next sale.

The sale will take place at 10:30 – 12:00 on JUNE 18th at 3, Main Street, Ridlington.

You may just walk off with a great new addition to your wardrobe and with the certain knowledge that you are helping to save the planet!

Coffee, tea and cakes will be served and I’m sure much fun will be had!

BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS!

 

We need to sell off some of the books because we are running out of space – now is your chance to grab a bargain. Donations please to Debra Thatcher.

Recommendations for this month:

“The Politics of Washing, Real Life in Venice” by Polly Cole’s – ordinary life in an extraordinary city besieged by tourists.  Beautifully written.

“The Appeal” by Janice Hallett – Sunday Times Crime Book of the Month.  This book has had glowing reviews, but didn’t really work for me.  Give it a go and let me know what you think.

“Amazing Times” articles from The Times newspaper 1945 to 1981 – a good spread, decent illustrations and amusing stories – one for the smallest room?

“Blott on the Landscape” by Tom Sharpe – I echo my comments on Porterhouse Blue from last month.
