For the past 20 years, the first weekend of November has been reserved for the annual "HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS" open house at Treasures Antiques, Collectables & MORE! and this year is no exception. The official dates are November 3rd & 4th and the festivities will run from 10-5 both days. There will be numerous gift ideas and sales throughout the shop, including various stocking stuffers, true one of a kind finds, affordable antiques, collectibles, furniture, furnishings, books, clothing, jewelry, foods, pet items, household gifts, plus gift certificates for everyone on your list and a whole lot more! There will be refreshments available as well as some fabulous raffles to help support "KITTY ANGELS, INC." who will once again be on site and will set up a display and will have on hand, some of the many kitties for adoption. They will also be accepting some much needed donations of kitty/cat food, blankets, cat toys, kitty litter and anything else that will help them get through another hard, harsh winter. Remember, "Kitty Angels, Inc.", is also the official "Pet" Charity of Treasures’. Cash donations are always, happily accepted at Treasures, on behalf of "Kitty Angels" as well. Please HELP them if you can in any way! For the first time at the Holiday Open House, you will be able to meet some of the friendly and helpful staff of the "AMHERST ANIMAL HOSPITAL" and hear all about what they do for the animal kingdom and about some of the worst case kitties that they have saved for Kitty Angels, Inc. They have joined Treasures in the past, during their May fundraisers and have been a center of attention. Along with their varied and eclectic in-house dealers and vendors, several additional exciting vendors will participate outside, to add to this special holiday shopping experience. "PARADISE FARM," will showcase many of their products that include native raw honey, syrups, fudge and baked goods, jams, jellies, chutney’s etc., grass-fed beef, apples, cider, pumpkins and soy wax candles.
