Winter Clearance & Summer Consignments

Pixie Dust — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 19:10:48 +0000

Greetings from Pixie Dust!

Hope you’ve shoveled your way out by now and haven’t suffered too many sledding injuries, board game upsets, or hot chocolate spills. Frederick County schools are open once again (albeit late) and the sun is shining, so there’s plenty to celebrate!

Winter Clearance Continues- 1/2 price on all bin items!

Seems like the bins have been around forever, but we’ve only managed to be open a few days since the sale started in January. We’ve added clothing (including maternity) and toys to the 50% off bins each weekend, too. Plenty of great items in all sizes!

Now Taking Spring/Summer Consignments- including Easter dresses!

No appointment necessary- please just call (301-788-7851) to make sure we have room for any large items (furniture, play equipment).

Warm Weather Clothes and Shoes Are Here!

No, not the warm weather (yet), but we have started putting spring and summer fashions on the salesfloor. We can’t promise the snow has ended, but we can bet that it’ll be shorts and sundress season before too long!

Hours This Week
Thursday 10:30-2:30

Interested in Consigning?

We are now taking fall consignments! We are (as always) short on space, so please only bring in washed, neatly folded or hung fall clothing- we’ll be ready for winter coats and Halloween costumes in another month! We’ve found that in infant sizes (newborn - 12 months), outfits sell well- but separates do not. Please leave random pants or onsies at home or plan to donate them! You do not need to make an appointment to bring in items; please drop them off in a container that you do not need returned. Call Allison with questions about consigning: 301-788-7851.

Community Help Opportunity

It’s that time of year again, school supply shopping! With the economy, more and more families will be turning to the BEACON for supplies for their children. If you’re able to pick up anything, (every bit counts!) please either drop items off at the CASS building or in any of the local churches. If you can’t get there, please email Beth at (kbjohnson_1@comcast.net) or call (301) 712-4137 and we’ll find a way to get them.

Items Needed: crayons (24 count), glue sticks, colored pencils, No 2 pencils, safety scissors (blunt tip), highlighters, blue and black pens, folders (different colors), index cards, zipper pencil pouches or pencil box, erasers, spiral notebooks, compasses and protractors, red checking pencils, composition books, wide ruled notebook paper and loose lead paper. If you would rather make a monetary doantion for supplies, please make your check payable to BEACON and in the memo line denote “school supplies”.

Supplies must be donated by August 9th for distribution on August 17th at the Brunswick City Park. Please pass this info on to other neighbors that may be willing to help!
