What’s Happening at Treasure City Thrift:

HALLOWEEN and DIA DE LOS MUERTOS
We’ve got all kinds of masks, wigs, costumes and clothes left to choose from, come see us Friday and Saturday for all your costume party needs.

FRIDAY NIGHTS
We'll continue to be open till 9pm, and will keep you posted on special events. If you're a band or DJ that would like to play for the 6-9 yellowbike shop, or if you'd like to teach any kind of friday night workshop in our space, please email cory@treasurecitythrift.org.

11/14 GRAND JURY RESISTANCE GALA
Fancy clothes. Fancy music. Fancy (delicious Ethiopian) food. Chandeliers and tablecloths even. Who knew paying the lawyers could be this much fun? Mark your calendars for November 14th and come out to support the Texas activists who’ve been targeted by continued police harassment for expressing their first amendment rights at the RNC protests. More info about the case and the benefit party will be on our website soon, and we’ll be selling tickets at store starting at the end of next week. Best of all, your ticket entitles you to a 50% discount on formal wear at all month long.

11/28 FREE KNITTING AND CROCHET WORKSHOP
Skillshare Austin presents a free workshop in both beginning and intermediate knitting, as well as basic crochet. Bring supplies if you’ve got them, or use ours to pick up some new skills.

BLANKET DRIVE DROP-OFF
We’re partnering with Positivity for Purpose to serve as a drop off point for their fall blanket drive. The drive is part of P4P’s annual event called “There is H.O.P.E. in Hip Hop (Helping Our People Elevate)”. We’re excited to be working with P4P and encourage you to check out the event and the organization at www.1205Productions.com/positivity4purpose.html

SEWING SALE
We’ve just unpacked a donation of about a hundred sewing patterns. For the first week in November, they’ll be on sale for only a quarter each! We also have two sewing machines, a sewing table, several ironing boards, and lots of miscellaneous sewing supplies in stock right now, so it’s a great time to get settled in for fall with a crafty project.

SUMMER SALE
Even though there are plenty of shorts and tank top weather days left this year, we need to clear them out to make space on the racks for the fall and winter clothes. Tank tops are already on sale for $1; shorts will be a dollar too for the whole month of November.

EVERYTHING ELSE
We’ve got it, you know: everything else you could possibly want. Spend your money at Treasure City, and 100% of it stays in your community. Spend it anywhere else? Who knows.
And as always, we’d love to talk to you about volunteering, holding your event at Treasure City, supporting your grassroots organization, or anything else. Stop by and see us...
