Youth Art Class set for 4:30 p.m. Friday at Prairie Chic

Prairie Chic, along with our resident artist, Tana Davis, is hosting a Youth Art Class at 4:30 p.m. Friday. The theme is "Found Treasures" with youth invited to bring something from home to paint, or parents are invited to purchase items from inside the store for the activity. Tana is an educated and advanced painter herself, who teaches about mixing colors and the basics related to art, according to the group's age and skill levels. Tana hosted a class on Jan. 16 with four children attending. Here are some pictures of their time together.

The class is $15 per youth and no pre-registration is needed. Come and join us!!!

Maybe a Youth Art Class isn't something you're interested, but perhaps Scrapbooking instead? Mark your calendar for a Mother's Day Mini Album class on Feb. 21. Happy Doxie Design will teach this course at Prairie Chic. The cost is $20, which includes the class fee and supplies.

Also, we have added several items into the store in the past few days, even on Monday outside our regular store hours. Here are photos of some items that have now been added.

• A full end cap is $150 and half end caps are $90 one time rental cost for a 3 month lease

Booths are 7' tall and 30" deep.

Here are some types of items from an estate that would work well in our store and earn you more money than a yard sale or garage sale option might offer:

• Advertising found on soda bottles, signs, pins, tins, ashtrays, etc.
• Kansas items, which have local advertisements from an older era are also great, including university collectibles and Lodge items, Mason items, Scout items, old license plates, etc.
• Kitchen items, including cupboards, old cookbooks, glass measuring cups,wooden handled utensils that either have red, green or blue painted handles, aprons, old kitchen timers or clocks, items that can help decorate a collector's home
• Household collections, which can include brands such as Pyrex, McCoy, Rosewood Pottery, Murano glass, etc. Collectors look for all sorts of items that most people think is just junk, including old rotary phones, cameras that used the old film, movie projectors, transistor radios, typewriters, toys (60's and older), sewing notions and patterns (60's and older)
• Bedroom/Closet items, including old bed quilts, coverlets, embroidered pillow cases, needlepoint, vanity sets, trays for perfume bottles, brushes and hair containers, older perfume makeup containers, older negligees, hats, ladies gloves, bowling shirts, purses, old suitcases, hat boxes, scraps of lace, old buttons, etc. Smaller items can be stored in clear sandwich bags stapled shut before putting a price on them. Just think about the young women who love to find older pieces to add to their collections or wear to concerts and events
• Men's items, including older jackets, hats, shirts with advertising, especially military items
• Hobby, garage, sporting goods and other outdoor items, including hunting and fishing items, such as handmade lures, wooden ladders, or other vintage or antique items that one used for their trade or are otherwise used at home
• Around the house, items inside junk drawers or closets can include old greeting cards, photo albums, yearbooks, old maps, school globes, postcards, school supplies, old calendars, especially those with pictures and date from 60's and back. It's surprising what people collect. These items could be combined or sold in separate baggies for a few dollars, which is much better than throwing them away. Don't be surprised if you come across a jar of old matchbooks, which could also be sold.
