Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop News
Christmas Sale Success


A big thank you to Judy W. and her crew who spent hours setting up for the Christmas sale. It takes a long time to price so many items. People came from miles around as they remember the previous 2 annual sales. Great buys with items from .25 to $1 and a few huge items a bit more. A great time was had by all shoppers and volunteers alike. The Suncook Sun reaches many folks and we were glad the ad paid off!!! Pays to advertise locally folks.


We have helped the local fire victim recently. Thanks to the help of many folks, she was able to get items from our shop that she needed. We also gave games to a local kids club recently. We do a lot of things locally, many of which I don’t write about as space is limited, but if it wasn’t for the local support we would not be able to continue our projects.We are now working on our school back pack project and expect the demand will be bigger then ever.We hope to at least be able to come up with enough money and supplies to do at least 500 like last year, but more of them this year is our goal. You can always check out our website and see our projects and latest news at www.babythreadsofnh.com. Many folks came in this week with requests we couldn’t fill. They included the following:


Wish 1) A round dehydrator.


Wish 2) Pint and half pint jars for farmer’s market folks who sell, and to be able to sell reasonable, they need to find jars reasonable.


Wish 3) People are always looking for canes.


Remember if you think you have troubles, come to the shop and buy some shoes that are too small you’ll forgot your other troubles!!! Remember great opportunities to help other folks seldom happen, but small ones happen at our shop on a daily basis.
