I are honored to have raised over $38,000.00 for charities since purchasing our home. Rick is so helpful getting things ready for the tour. There is lots of hauling, late nights and 30 days of stumbling over Christmas trees, ...oh then there’s all the lights!!!

T

his is the time of year that all my Christmas merchandize starts arriving and I get so excited! As I unpack, I’m already decorating in my mind of what will go here or there! When I lay down at night I’m dreaming of all the glitz, baubles, and sparkling trees. My home, the Hvmboldt Place becomes a Christmas wonderland. But the happiest of all these thoughts are the children that will benefit from the Christmas tour.

There are so many children that are hurting and in need of things. I was so excited when I went to a retailer and bought gift cards for Fairhaven home in Strafford last Christmas.

Janet so lovingly gift wrapped each one so that they too could enjoy a Christmas gift like so many of us do. Rick and

We are excited again, to open our home to you during this holiday season. It will be spectacularly decorated with sparking Christmas treasures. The proceeds will go to Springfield Symphony Guild and other childrens’ charities.

November 1st and 2nd, Saturday 10am to 5pm and 12 noon to 4pm on Sunday. Tickets are $10 and will be on sale at the door and also at Robins Vintage Suitcase, 724 S. Scenic, Springfield. Please join us at our home Hvmboldt Place this holiday season. We are located at 847 S.

RECYCLING When you can’t find clothes that you like, why not remake from your old favorites.

Here are some BASIC TOOLS & HINTS: • Invest in a good basic sewing machine .

• A good pair of scissors • Pin before you sew, this will help you to keep the fabric in place and avoid sewing wrong sides together.

• For best results, avoid clothing made of fine silks, cashmeres and leather, or anything that is lined.

• Beginners may also choose to stay clear of anything that frays easily or is made of thick fabric.

Alix Graham-Mitchell

• Remember to keep scraps and leftovers! The big gold buttons from your grandpa’s blazer might be just what you need for your newly recycled sweatshirt jacket.

• Mix and match the accessories of your clothing.

Switch buttons, belt loops and pockets around to add flavors to your garments. Save those buttons.

So if you want to get started, come see us and we will help you find the perfect machine and all the tools you will need. And we will teach you for FREE how to use your new sewing FREE machine.

CLASSES with purchase

Coming to the Store, October 16th Alix brings substantial talent and experience to her events across the country, and is considered a true artisan.

International certifications serve to enhance her natural flair and skill, and her love of sewing has been expressed in widely published leading sewing magazines that feature her work. Her garment creations have been worn by music artists, seen on the international film screen, as well as interior design showcases and boutiques. Love of teaching and helping others find their passion for sewing at SVP events is what drives Alix to travel extensively to events in the U.S., Canada and South America.
