be news for our newer patrons and a reminder for others. The Attic
Thrift Shop supports Baby Threads of NH, a 501(c)3 non-profit
organization and affiliate of the United Way. The Attic, as well as
Baby Threads, are supported by volunteers and your tax deductible
donations. Don’t hesitate to ask for a form for tax purposes. Visit
the Baby Threads website at

We have requests for a few items: a checkers set (no batteries, just
brains needed); fingernail polish, for repair purposes and fashion;
ice grippers, large, to aid walking in icy conditions; and a cane
with an ice tip. We also have someone collecting old wind-up clocks
and watches that no longer work. They use the parts for repairs.
Seems there is a recyclable use for just about everything!
We sell rags, which are cotton material from ripped or stained
clothing, no buttons or zippers, for 50¢ a bag.
We are on Route 28, Chichester, close to the Pittsfield line and are
