  • Saturday, September 15, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm – NABB Fall Street Sale

    On Saturday, September 15th, from 10:00am to 5:00pm, The Neighborhood Association of the Back Bay will hold its Annual Fall Street Sale, our local community yard sale, on the Dartmouth Street Mall between Newbury Street and Commonwealth Avenue (at Alley 434).

    You may purchase a 10′ x 4′ selling space at the Street Sale for $75. This fee includes one chair. Bring your own table or rent one with your space reservation for an additional $25. Reservations are not transferable according to state revenue restrictions.

    NABB arranges the space, procures the permits, and sets the stage. You bring your clean and sale ready household merchandise, books, antiques or other treasures, priced appropriately, and watch them be snapped up by bargain hunters. The proceeds are all yours.

    No clothing, please. The City of Boston has notified NABB that no commercial products may be sold at this sale.  For more information, or to procure a table, log on to www.nabbonline.com, or mail a check for $75 (or $100 if you wish to rent a table and chair) made out to NABB to the NABB office at 160 Commonwealth Avenue, #L-8, Boston, MA 02116-2749.

     

  • Monday, December 7 – Thursday, December 10, 8:30 am – 7:00 pm – Wreath Making

    Pastor Ingo R. Dutzmann and his parish will again host our Club for wreath making on the lower level of The First Lutheran Church of Boston, 299 Berkeley Street (on the corner of Berkeley and Marlborough Streets). We are very, very grateful.  The hours are as follows:

    Monday, December 7 – 8:30 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. (set up, training, + decoration)
    Tuesday, December 8 – 8:30 a.m. – 7:30 p.m. (decorating)
    Wednesday, December 9- 8:30 a.m. – 7:30 p.m. (decorating, delivery)
    Thursday, December 10- 8:30 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. (decorating, delivery, clean    up)

    Please come to the side door on Berkeley Street.  We’ll post a sign.   Dried materials and fresh greens can be delivered to the Church no earlier than Monday, December 7.  Please have all decorations “cleaned down” – branches cut down, dead leaves removed – so we can contain the mess we inevitably make.  Delicate materials can be laid flat in sweater boxes or gently stacked in cardboard containers.  We are going to need as many dried items, especially flowers, as we can collect.

    Bring clippers and scissors if you have them, labeled with masking tape for ease of identification.  Aprons are also a good idea.  Dress comfortably!  We need everyone’s help, whether you decorate, deliver, organize, make telephone calls confirming delivery, or sweep.  Contact Francine Crawford at 617-859-8865 (francine.crawford@verizon.net) or Margaret Pokorny at 617-536-2920 (MPok384@verizon.net) if you have specific questions.  Otherwise, we’ll see you on Monday.  If you still plan to order wreaths, send the order forms along as soon as you can.   Please try to come for as many hours as possible, on as many days as you can spare – we need you, and you’ll have a great time!  Thank you.  If you can take a delivery shift, and have not already been contacted, email Elisabeth Lay at elisabethlay@comcast.net, or call her at 617-536-6633.

  • Saturday, September 12, 10 – 5 – NABB Fall Street Sale

    On Saturday, September 12th, from 10:00am to 5:00pm, NABB will hold its Annual Fall Street Sale, our local community yard sale, on Dartmouth Street Mall between Newbury Street and Commonwealth Avenue (at Alley 434).  The Garden Club of the Back Bay will be represented with a table, and visitors will be able to pick up Membership Brochures, see displays of some of the many Garden Club of the Back Bay projects we execute and fund, purchase totes, aprons, and bulbs, and pre-order our justly famous Holiday Wreaths.  We will also have pictures and ordering information for the beautiful iron tree fences you see throughout the neighborhood.  If you’d like to arrange for pruning of your front yard tree, we can take that information, too.  Please stop by and say hello.
