HOLIDAY CRAFTS
Treasure City is working with Greater Austin Garage Arts on a reuse event next Sunday, December 13th. There will be holiday craft workshops, a regifting swap, local reuse artists selling gifts, and music by Night Viking. More info here www.treasurecitythrift.org/holidayswap. If you’d like to do an hour volunteer shift and get in free, email cory@treasurecitythrift.org.

WINTER CLOTHES
We’ve been saving high quality winter coats, sweaters, scarves and hats all year long and they’re out on the racks now. Coats start at $7, all sweaters are $4, accessories are $2. Come get your warm on quick, when you’ve got the best selection to choose from.

DECORATIONS for DECEMBER
We’ve got several displays around the store of evergreen-y decorations, accessories, dishes, knick knacks, cookie cutters and other stuff you don’t need but really would enjoy. Why not buck the tradition of capitalist waste (but enjoy the nostalgia of santa and such, if that’s your thing) by celebrating a holiday of reuse? Most of this stuff has been gifted or used once or less, and is in great shape.

PHOTO GALLERY
There’s a new ‘Photos’ link at the top of our web page, it’ll take you to a gallery of photos documenting our 3 crazy years in business (everything from our humble beginnings as a shell of a dry cleaners to store events, unusual donations, fires that burned our building, and cute volunteers). We’re adding more regularly, if you have any photos you’d like to share, email them to youractionsdefineyou@gmail.com.

and new staffers…
we’ve got a very very tiny one staffing the store these days, like 5 weeks tiny. Come by and meet him quick before he turns into a boring grownup like the rest of us! And If you want to join him in volunteering, stop by the store or www.treasurecitythrift.org/volunteer
