Twinkly trees make their season debut

Henrico retail shop Thrifty Sisters has officially kicked off the holiday season, with an announcement that this year's highly-coveted jewelry trees are up for bid. 

The one-of-a-kind trees – crafted by Thrifty Sisters volunteers using pieces of donated jewelry – are on display at the shop (located at 8911 Patterson Avenue) now. Bids can be placed beginning Nov. 12 as soon as shop doors open at 10 a.m., and will continue until Dec. 2 at the store's 4 p.m. closing time.  

Anyone wishing to place a bid should stop by the store at 8911 Patterson Avenue and ask a volunteer for the Auction Book.  Proceeds from the auction, as with all purchases at the non-profit thrift store – benefit St. Francis - Manchester, an assisted living community for seniors with limited financial means. 

In addition to the trees, Thrifty Sisters offers a variety of festive fare at bargain prices, from entertaining essentials to New Year's outfits.  For details, updates and photos, browse Thrifty Sisters online or follow it on social media.
