August Auction Items

August has been an incredibly busy month here at Treasures. We have had a mountain of donations come in, and you can take advantage of all the deals on this great new stuff. As always, we have:

collectibles
nostalgia items
books
clothes
gadgets
artwork
shoes
records, DVDs, videos
knick-knacks
etc.

Our silent auction items include the brooches and a Canon camera as shown in the photographs.

Don't forget, if it doesn't sell, it goes on sale! That's right, even lower prices, at the lowest priced store in Richmond Hill.

Remember too that your donations are always welcome at Treasures.

James Lansdowne Pictures

This auction item includes three signed pictures by artist James Lansdowne. He was known for his pictures of birds. The pictures have greatly appreciated since his death.

James Lansdowne was a self-taught naturalist artist, who has shown similar style to the works of John James Audubon. He was born in Hong Kong and raised in British Columbia. The first showing of his works were at the Royal Ontario Museum in 1956.

The Canadian government presented his works to the British Royal Family in 1976. He also became an officer of the Order of Canada in that same year.

Check out this and all our other great auction items at Richmond Hill's collectibles and "gently used" re-sale shoppe, Treasures.

Sherman Necklace

We have recently received a donation of a beautiful signed Sherman Aurora Borealis necklace with matching earrings. The earrings are not signed, but are equally spectacular. The set is currently in the auction display case.

The other items in the auction are; a soapstone collection, a crystal bowl, 22kt. gold filled Cross Pen sets, 1970s Prime Minister of Canada coin set, a silver coffee and tea set, glass elephant figurines (possibly Murano) and fishing reels and a lure.

Remember to stop buy and place a bid on your favourite items. Merchandise at Treasures fly off the shelves very quickly. While you are in the store, please feel free to browse at our display of other merchandise.

New Donations

We have recently received a large donation of magazines; Artist
Magazines, Car Magazines, National Geographic and many cooking
magazines. The magazines are all for sale - wait for it.... for NICKEL a peice!! That's right, $.05 per issue. Where in the world can you find a bargain like that? Right in the heart of beautiful Richmond Hill, Ontario, in the legendary Levendale Plaza - at Treasures.

Another recent donation contained a great deal of rooster-themed items - a popular theme for kitchen decorating. There are many dishes, glasses and mugs all at very low prices. So cock-a-doodle on over here, and check out the chicken stuff.

Keep in mind, we are a not-for-profit operation, and thrive on your generous donations. Time and time again, we are shown just how generous you can be. The finest items go on auction (probably the best kept secret in Richmond Hill). But everything we sell at Treasures is bargain-priced. The beauty of our operation is that it keeps one coming back - because there's always some new treasure popping up at Treasures. Hope to see you soon.

We accept your donations during store hours from 10am to 5pm Monday to Saturday.
