There is one word with 3 syllables that can best describe Friday’s jewelry and collectibles sale……….A-MAZ-ING! A new record sales day was achieved with approximately $735 in jewelry sales and $500 in collectibles and clothing, for a total of $1235.00! So that you can see the significance of these numbers, below is a comparison of the jewelry sales for last 3 years:
2011 - Jewelry $419 Other $137 Total $556
2012 - Jewelry $577 Other $302 Total $879
2013 - Jewelry $735 Other $500 Total $1235
Just when you think it can’t get any better, it does! This will be a tough act to follow next year.
The selection of jewelry was plentiful, the quality was exceptional and when the doors opened at 9:00, the jewelry staff welcomed the people who had patiently waited outside the door for the Shop to open. Kudos goes to Barb Ranger, who once again headed up the jewelry sale, with sales assistance from Bob and Dena Simmons, Barb Reed and Vera Johnson.
Meanwhile, the unique collectibles that were being offered in the main Shop area were being snatched off of the shelves. Darlene Myers and I worked our newsprint covered fingers to the bone, trying to keep up with all the collectible items being purchased.
Thanks to all the people mentioned above for their hard work, as well as Deb Wuebbling, Phyllis Gerber and Marlene Versteeg. A great day was had by all!
