Although it's “only” August, we're beginning to plan for our 6th Annual Children's Holiday Boutique, which is scheduled for Saturday, December 3 from 12 noon to 2:30 pm or so.
Supplying new gift items for our discriminating young shoppers is a major endeavor. Last year, our talented elves piled the tables with quality, hand-crafted goodies—everything from holiday pins, toys, and ornaments to crocheted coathangers, exquisite teacup pincushions, and labor-intensive gift bags and boxes—and the tables were virtually bare before the sale ended. So this year, of course, we need more of everything…especially craftspeople with fresh ideas to create prototypes and shepherd their projects through the gift-assembly workshops in October and November.
I've tentatively scheduled a planning session for September 15 from 6:30 to 8:00 pm at the Library. But if you have a project suitable for holiday gift giving and would like to get involved in the Friends’ most rewarding annual event, please don't wait until then. Call or e-mail me now, and let's get started.
As soon as we've determined what items we'll be producing, assembly workshop schedules will be posted on the bulletin board in the Library foyer.
