Agenda:
- Vintage Villages
- We were delighted to have the owners of Vintage Villages, Dylan and Breanne, join us and give a brief presentation about their collectible “buy-and-sell” business and how they run their operations.
- Because they are both collectors themselves, Dylan and Breanne certainly appreciate the products they sell. They enjoy working with collectors who are looking to build up their collections, as well as those who are looking to downsize.
- Vintage Villages offers:
- retired Department 56 collectibles
- retired and current Lemax collectibles
- buy-and-sell services
- They can be contacted by email at breanne@vintagevillages.ca, and their website, https://www.vintagevillages.ca, features various items they currently have for sale.
- White Elephant sale
- As a means to raise funds for club operations, we held a White Elephant sale. Basically, we asked members to donate items they no longer wanted, while also having the opportunity to browse the donated items and see if there was anything they could use or want to add to their collection.
- You can imagine the variety of items available at the sale! Everyone involved had fun browsing, shopping and looking for good bargains.
- At the end of the day, the club was able to raise close to $200.
- Water, water, everywhere
- The theme for the display was water, with each display incorporating some element of water - be it a pond, a bucket of water, or whatever else members could dream up. The possibilities were limited only by their imagination!
