Century House’s annual craft sale and tea is a good time to connect with friends and to get started on holiday shopping.
Various groups at Century House, including the pottery, quilting and craft groups, are getting involved in the sale that’s taking place on Saturday, Nov. 5 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 620 Eighth St.
“They have all the crafts – tea cosies, toques, gloves, pot holders, scarves,” said Shelly Schnee, recreation programmer. “The Century House Artists are doing small, original paintings and are selling them for $25. Some of them are really talented.”
The sale includes pottery, books, jewelry, hand-quilting, variety crafts, a bake sale and a white elephant sale.
“Because of the time of year, they sell Christmas stuff,” Schnee noted. “We promote it as an opportunity to buy gifts for your family.”
Century House is accepting donations for the white elephant and craft sale from Saturday, Oct. 29 to Friday, Nov. 4 at noon.
“It’s not clothes, but it’s white elephant items, books and jewelry, children’s toys,” Schnee said. “We get a lot of Christmas stuff, which is fun.”
The folks who volunteer in the kitchen are coordinating the tea in the tea room, which costs $7.50.
The craft sale and tea is one of the main fundraisers for the Century House Association.
