Sale happens Saturday May 2, 2015 – Look for the Bettina Network Flag flying in front of the house to know you are in the right place.
Starts at 10am and ends at 3pm
Bettina Network Lifestyle Community Members will be allowed in at 9am on May 2, 2015.
The address of the sale is 65 Huntington St, Milton, MA. 02186.
There are interesting items for sale:
An elevator chair, which goes up and down the stairs. The company will take it off the wall and we are sure for a small amount of money they will reinstall the chairs in your home. There are two chairs. One goes from the first to the second floor. The second goes from the basement to the first floor – where the two stairs are not contiguous.
Many of the items we could not picture because Word Press only takes pictures up to 2MB. So next time we will click accordingly – once we learn how.
There are two lovely Tiffany-style hanging lamps which are quite old and beautiful.
Dining room table and chairs. Porcelain dinner service. Stem glasses.
Opalescent glass figures. Book cases. Bedroom set with queen-sized bed – real wood.
Mahogany book cases. Pine book cases stained mahogany.
Miscellaneous items that will look lovely in your living or dining room where you need an extra something.
Clothes. Fur coats. A collection of 1930’s mink and fox throws for over the shoulder – remember the kind with the head, feet and tails intact – well come and see these (No conservationist comments please – this was the 1930’s and there were not many of these made).
Off-white Pinch pleated thermal drapes – lots of them. The way they conserve heat and cold in your home will make up for the fox and mink shoulder stoles.
Nylon curtains – some with frilly ruffles for just $5.00.
An old sewing machine case – a little rubbing with coconut oil will make this case look lovely.
Oriental-style rugs – one for $25 and it is room size – the second for $125.
Pots and pans. Kitchen miscellaneous.
Basement items, including professional floor cleaning equipment ideal for someone just starting a new business. Use these until you have earned enough to buy the new, super shiny, over-priced machines that will take away most of your profit.

As in all Bettina Network Sales, whatever is left after the sale is donated to Bettina Network Foundation, inc. A 501 ( c ) 3 organization and the family gets a tax credit for the amount of the items so donated. The Bettina Network Foundation, inc. gives all of these items to people who are recently homeless and are beginning to furnish their new permanent home and/or to people in difficult situations who these items can benefit and make their lives a bit easier. We work with Therapists and Social Workers to determine who can best use the items available. They are not stored they are taken immediately to their new home so volunteers at the end of each sale are crucial.
If you are a Social Worker, Therapist or someone working with the homeless and would like to volunteer to help in this effort to eradicate homelessness as best we can, call us. We send you an inventory of items available and you let us know which ones your clients can use.
If you would like to volunteer some of your time to work with the Bettina Network Foundation, inc. we welcome you. Speak to one of the people working the sale and they will give you more information. It is fun -a good learning experience – and who knows where it will lead for you. We need photographers, designers to help those receiving items have an idea as to how to place them for maximum beauty, those who like to clean and work with others to help them learn how to keep up what they now own, etc., but especially those who enjoy giving – being creative – finding a way where there was no way, etc.
