This unique “pay as you feel” event features a treasure trove of art supplies, craft materials, books, clothing, and select furniture pieces.
What to Expect:

This isn’t just a sale – it’s an opportunity to give these materials a second life while supporting important causes. While they’re operating on a “pay as you feel” basis, they kindly ask visitors to consider the value of the items and their contribution to our chosen charities.
They will hopefully be joined on the day by some others also sharing the space to sell their stashes too. More info and details of all those who are participating and which charities they have chosen will be confirmed very soon.
So please check their social media for any updates over the next few days.
Perfect for:

Every purchase helps support their designated charities while ensuring these quality materials find new homes where they’ll be appreciated and used.
