Last week it was fondue pots – next week it will be an antique bridge board and baby rattles on sale at the Richmond Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store in Steveston.
The thrift store, that supports health-care in Richmond, regularly posts on its Facebook page special items that it receives as donations for sale.
The fondue pots were a hit with at least one Richmond News reader who picked up the yellow Dansk set.
In fact, when the reader, Ingrid Veilleux, went shopping there recently, she found a lineup in front of the thrift store.
The latest batch of antiques will be available at noon on Aug. 26.
This assortment includes a set of sterling and mother of pearl knives from Birks, two vintage baby rattles, various pillboxes as well as an Autobridge bakelite board in mint condition.
An autobridge is a board that can be used to learn how to play bridge or to play solitaire.
The thrift store noted on its Facebook page that items can’t be reserved, and only personal shopping is allowed.
The Richmond Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store raises money for medical equipment and for patient programs at Richmond Hospital, Minoru Residence and Lions Manor.
It’s located at 3731 Chatham St.
