99 items gone to the store, 99 items gone...

Near the start of November, my first niece posted a request on fb.

"Donations Needed!
Hello, everyone!
The Annual Holiday Store at Liberty Elementary (the school I work at) is right around the corner, and we need your help to make it a success!

Donation Drop-Off Or pick up: Now through December 10th
Items We Really Need:
Gently used or new toys, books, games, jewelry, candles, mugs, ornaments, or other small gift items students can purchase for family and friends.

Your donations help make this special event possible and give our students the joy of giving this holiday season.

Wrapping Supplies Needed:
Wrapping paper
Gift bags
Scotch tape

It’s the perfect time to clean out your attic, closets, or basement for hidden treasures you no longer need!
If you are in the Savannah or surrounding areas I will come to you to pick up any donations." 

 

Friday, she and I set up a movie date, here, for Tina Tuesday. 

That's tomorrow, and I have gone through closets, dressers, and the china cupboard, collecting items for her "school store" for the students.

 

Seashells from more than 40 years ago in Panama...

wooden roses crafted for Savannah Children's Theatre...

jewelry to please mothers or grandmas...

massage tools to use by hand...

a variety of Christmas ornaments...  

desktop photo holders... 

a variety of books for all ages... 

coffee mugs and color-changing cups...

scented candles and eyeglass cases to protect any lens...

and a variety of gift wraps and gift bags to decorate all items!

I do hope these will have a second life in new homes...

and bring joy to the recipients of the students' love.

I am so grateful to be able to help!
