Angels in The Attic

FEATURED IN THE ANGELS IN THE ATTIC STORE THIS WEEK ARE: ATHLETIC WEAR, LOTS OF YARN, MEDICAL SCRUBS, AND PARTY ITEMS
– If you are thinking about spring (and who isn’t!) and getting in shape again, we have lots of athletic wear at The Attic Store. You may find just what you need for your workout.
– If you knit or crochet or do crafts, you will find three big tubs-full of yarn of all colors in the fabric section. It is located in the front room.
– Remember, scrubs are always $1.00, tops or bottoms. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, it is a hygienic outfit used by those in the medical profession. These run about $25 a set if bought new, but Angels is pleased to give our caretakers a big break.
– We have a small area of party items in the front room. In it you may find: wrapping paper, gift bags, party hats, confetti, and number candles for a birthday cake. All items are 25¢ and up.
– In regards to The Angels Furniture Store, please be aware that we can only accept working appliances (stoves, refrigerators, washing machines, etc.). Your cooperation is appreciated. No one wants to purchase a non-working appliance, and we do not have the technicians with the skill to fix them, nor the parts. The store that sells you a new one will usually take a non-working one away. Otherwise, take them to the Transfer Station.
– If you have friends who do not use Facebook or websites, they can still keep up with the news from Angels by referring to The Floyd Press, in section B, in a column titled “The Thrifty Angel”.

VOLUNTEERS APPRECIATED; VOLUNTEERS NEEDED; CURIOUS THINGS FOUND IN ATTIC STORE.
We sometimes forget that without volunteers, Angels in the Attic, the Angels Furniture Store, the Angels Donation Center, and the Boutique could not function. Our volunteers always deserve a huge “thank you” and a pat on the back. We’d especially like to thank those volunteers who worked so faithfully at The Christmas Store for three months last fall.

Volunteers, as you know, come and go; we acquire some, and we lose some. Currently, we are in need of volunteers Wednesdays and Fridays at The Donation Center and the Furniture Store. If interested, contact Gennell at the Angels in the Attic Store during store hours.

LOOKING BACK AT 2018, A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THE DONORS WHO DROPPED OFF ITEMS AT THE ANGELS DONATION CENTER, OR WHO DONATED OTHER ITEMS SUCH AS AN AUTO, A HOUSE-FULL OF FURNITURE, OR PROPERTY, OR A CHECK. ALSO A HUG AND THANKS TO THOSE MANY VOLUNTEERS WHO DONATED THEIR PRECIOUS TIME.

As we begin the year 2019, we would like to thank all our customers for making purchases, also to our friends for their generous and wonderful donations throughout the past year. If not for your excellent contributions, Angels in the Attic. the Boutique, the Furniture Store, and the Christmas Store, would not exist.

HUGE $1 BARGAIN ON MANY BIKE HELMETS AT ANGELS IN THE ATTIC STORE (REMEMBER THE ONLY OPEN DAYS LEFT BEFORE CHRISTMAS ARE TUESDAY DECEMBER 19, FRIDAY DECEMBER 21 AND SATURDAY DECEMBER 22). HOWEVER, THE FURNITURE STORE IS OPEN EACH DAY EXCEPT THURSDAY AND THE CHRISTMAS STORE WILL BE OPEN EVERY DAY. BUT WHEN DECEMBER 23 ROLLS AROUND, ALL STORES WILL BE CLOSED UNTIL THE NEW YEAR. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY OUR CUSTOMERS.

We have several items for you to check out this week. We received a huge donation of bike helmets. They are in a large box, to the left, as you enter The Attic. They are $1.00 each. What a deal!

NEW DOOR ENTRY/EXIT AT ANGELS FURNITURE STORE NEXT TO THE ROLL-UP DOOR
We have a new door installed at the front of the Angels Furniture Store, located just to the right of the roll-up door. It should help to keep out the cold air in winter which chattered with cold the teeth of the volunteers, and the hot air in summer. Up until now, the roll-up door was the only way for visitors to enter, and when the first volunteer arrived in the morning, they had to walk through an uphill grass and dirt area (sometimes in heavy rain) to reach the side door in order to open up (and the reverse for the last volunteer to close up).

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING: TOYS, BOOKS, DECORATIONS, FLEECE JACKETS, JEWELRY. OTHER THAN CHRISTMAS SHOPPING, STOP IN AND LOOK OVER OUR WIDE SELECTION OF WARM CLOTHING AND KITCHENWARE

Angels in the Attic is the place to start (and finish?) your Christmas shopping. We believe we have the best deals in town!

For example, check out the toy department, which is constantly restocked. Our toys range in price from 25¢ to $1.00.
