21 Mar Pop-Up @ 77 Flat new window in May!

Brattleboro Area Hospice is excited to announce a new retail and auction experience in Brattleboro:  Pop-Up @77 Flat!  On Gallery Walk Fridays beginning in May, and each month to follow through December, a new pop-up auction window will be unveiled at Experienced Goods, the Brattleboro Area Hospice Thrift Shop at 77 Flat Street.  Each window will be unique and different and will feature a creatively themed assortment of distinctive riches and other curios.  The items in the window will be available for online bidding from midnight of that evening throughout the following month.  This is a new spin on its annual Cherished Goods Auction that has traditionally taken place annually in the fall.  All proceeds will benefit Brattleboro Area Hospice programs and services.

Pop-up retail, also known as pop-up store (pop-up shop in the UK, Australia and Ireland) or flash retailing, is a trend of opening short-term sales spaces in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia.  Pop-Up @77 Flat is a new exciting way to prominently feature the most unique and special items for a limited duration of time.  We hope people will become engaged and interested and will subscribe to the online auction site and bid monthly throughout the year on those items they fancy.

In preparation for this event we call out to the community to dig deep into your closets and dressers and pull out the treasures that once meant so much to you but now might mean more to someone else.  We’re looking for smaller items than in the past; specialty knick knacks and collector curios, scarves, retro clothing, period jewelry, art.  Smaller furniture is also welcome.  As this event will be taking place throughout 2016 we will remind the community throughout the year to keep your eyes open.  You have time to search through your things and make donations to this exciting event.  Call Ann Fielder at 254-8174 if you have items for donation.
