Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop News
Thank you so much to the ladies who donated yarn for the knitted
caps for cancer patients. The knitter already made 42 hats and is
grateful.
We had a “first” happen at the Attic- a marriage proposal! He got
down on one knee and she said “yes!” It was quite nice to see
something so special.
We have many new cookbooks and romance paperbacks. Come stock up at
2 for $.25, along with VCR tapes 2/ .25. We have a Graco Pac & Play
and many baby onesies to choose from.
We are 5 miles from the Epsom Circle, next to the Pittsfield line in
the newly renovated plaza.
Mon. 8-12; Tues. & Thurs. 8-4; Wed. 11-4 & Sat. 10-4.
