Impressions' Travers stops at Treasures

Impressions of Saratoga on Broadway often puts its stuffed horse named Travers on Facebook hidden in a special location.
Well, last Tuesday an adorable young lady came into Treasures on West Avenue to place Travers inside the store. Then people who have access to Facebook found it on the site later that day and the next. They then guessed where it was located. Several were right.
Impressions is a very impressive store with lots and lots of goodies. And, so is Treasures, which is a consignment and thrift store run by the Saratoga Hospital Volunteer Guild.
Treasures has wonderful bargains. Impressions is also a store you shouldn't miss. It is located on the corner of Phila Street and Broadway.
All I know is I have to buy a Travers stuffed, cuddly horse from Impressions and I also have to continue to find great bargains at Treasures next to Wolberg Electric. I'm there at Treasures every Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. if you'd like to stop in and say "hello."

I'm saying 'hi' at Treasures; stop in!

Now that I have retired from writing the society column for The Saratogian for the past 25 years, I decided I couldn't just sit around the house - although I do at times. Anyone 79 needs to rest once in awhile.
I like my house clean, but that gets boring, too. So I decided to go back to volunteering at the Saratoga Hospital Volunteer Guild. Before I had some health issues and got so busy writing I volunteered in Same Day Surgery at the hospital for nearly six years.
But when the head of the volunteering staff asked me if I would like to be a greeter at Treasures I immediately said "Yes." It was right up my alley. I like people and being a greeter was something I was sure I could do.
So every Tuesday from now on, I will be seated by the front door and will say : "Hi, welcome to Treasures." My first Tuesday was last week. I was there from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. and I loved every minute. It's no wonder because lots of shoppers stopped by for the great bargains and tremendous buys available.
Treasures is located on West Avenue right next to the Wolberg lighting store.
Please stop any time, but I'll be there on Tuesdays to say hi when you walk in the door. Can't wait to see you all.
