One category of materials which store quite well are sparkly, artificial items – leaves, balls, glittery picks – which are essential for customers who request “glamorous glitz” as their preferred style. While we have long been known for our natural looks, enhanced when allowed with touches of gold or silver, some of our creations would be right at home in Hollywood. There was a lot of redundant material in boxes, taking up lots of space, and not everyone is adept with using such eye catching items. Past President Sherley Smith, with cohorts, took on the thankless task of sorting and culling, and pushing back when decorators said “oh no, you can’t throw that away (after five years of ignoring the item)”. Now we have a manageable number of plastic bins: one silver (examples below), one gold, one copper, one green, one red, and one box of black/purple/pink/anything uncategorized colors. Thank you Sherley – you held the decorations and saved what brought you joy.
