St. Stephen's to Hold Tag Sale Saturday
The First Spring Tea and Tag Sale will help offset costs of repairs after Irene.
This Saturday the Millburn-Short Hills Historical Society will join St. Stephen’s Church its first Spring Tea and Tag Sale to offset the costs of repairs to the chuch after Irene.
All proceeds from this one-day-only sale will help the church erase the last of the debt incurred when the August 2011 hurricane severely damaged the then newly-refurbished rectory, and a portion of the proceeds will help with historical society with the conservation of the collection.
Former resident Phyllis Collins, owner of Cranberry Row estate sales, joined the many church and historical society volunteers to organize the donations for the tag/rummage sale. Those donations include: antiques, collectibles, jewelry, furniture, books, ephemera, vintage and newer toys, art, and more. A silent auction will be held for a smaller vintage Coach bag, a Ferragamo bag, and a beautiful, old, design-inlaid, leather-top drum table.
