Collectors and shoppers who love ‘the unique,’ will enjoy ‘A Gathering: Hidden Treasures/Fond Memories!’ at Venue 109, 109 Cude Lane in Goodlettsville, Tenn. on Saturday, April 9, from 11 am-3 pm.
Participants will enjoy a workshop and activities including: door prizes, a silent auction, appraisals, lunch with Chef David Owens and shopping with several retail vendors.
The workshop will be led by the feature guest, LaCheryl Cillie, appraiser, estate sales conductor, author, auctioneer (AL5017) and ‘thrift-style expert.’
Ticketholders will learn more about family heirlooms by bringing one item for a general appraisal, tips for bidding successfully at auctions, what to throw out and what to keep when spring cleaning and how to use consignment stores, auctions, and eBay to make money by selling your finds—and why spring is the best time for ‘thrifting.’
Tea Cups & Jewels, A Collector’s Shop, the primary host of A Gathering HTFM, is a unique little shop that is more than a gift shop. TCJ has unique items that are new and some items that are vintage. Shoppers browse and enjoy reliving memories through past magazines, books and cards as well as other items such as ‘what-knots,’ pictures, dishes and a plethora of other items. Shoppers often request the owner, Geraldine Heath, to ‘keep an eye out’ for particular ‘collectible’ items.
TCJ specializes in authentic, beautiful, unique gifting that is more than a ‘gift basket!’ Each gift presentation is representative of the person requested. Every recipient expresses great adoration for the ‘gift of love.’
A Gathering HTFM will have several vendors such as local Nashville authors. (Some authors will be on hand to autograph purchased copies.)
Other participating vendors include: William Young Computer Consultants, The Rev’s Denim, Josie’s Tea, Phase One, Eastwood Buy & Sell Coins, and Pink Glitter Thrift Store and more.
Tea Cups & Jewels, A Collector’s Shop is located at 3803 Hydes Ferry Road in Nashville, Tenn.
