Does anyone have extra canning jars? I gave a bunch away and now I'm preserving again and I need more!

Goosey Gander Shop will be Open until Thanksgiving

If you have any unused good stuff at home there’s still lots of time to bring things in for sale before the Shop closes for the winter. Your spare houseware, tool, or whatnot might be just what another islander is looking for, or even something they weren’t looking for at all. The Shop helped re-home over 300 things in August, so more items are always welcome! For instance, some current items on wish lists include binoculars and a canning pot or inserts.

Your items are checked in by number, you set the price and the Shop adds a 25% commission. Sales cheques are sent at the end of the month.

For an appointment, please call 246-4944.
Thank you very much,

Nan Beals
