Thanks, Humboldt County, for making our January Book Sale a huge success! Read On!

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to the Redwood community for helping the Friends provide funds for our libraries. It is your generous support of the Serendipity Book Store and quarterly book sales that makes all this possible. Give yourselves a pat on the back, a cup of your favorite beverage, and a good book.

 

 

Serendipity received a generous donation of books of train lore a few weeks back, along with a number of airplane and ship books. Vintage and new, many coffee table size, and some back issue magazines. Just the thing for loco motion lovers. The train magazines were quickly snapped up, but many choice books are still on the shelves. In the Serendipity book store.

Serendipity Book Store sold lots of vintage sheet music these last few weeks, thank you Redwood music lovers! Recently we received a music magazine donation. The magazines include the sheet music of popular songs, of course, as well as tips on playing blues, jazz, rock and pop. All magazines are just 25 cents each, although we’re always ready to make a deal for quantity.

For those of you who have resolved to get published this year, or to just get better, get in on the ground floor with our Poets & Writers magazines, great tips and advice for just a quarter (25 cents each). At the Serendipity Book Store.

 

 

 

 

 

It’s a fabulous line up. The headliner is a handsome Mink Teddy, crafted from a vintage stole. Then there is the big basket of dog goodies from the Farm Store.

Then there is a pool of handsome created by or reconditioned by local Humboldt artists. There is a redwood bowl filled with wooden fruit; a small burl on a stand;  a small wooden vase; a reconditioned windmill music box; a small kokopelli figure; a redwood cheese cutting board with resident redwood mouse; an ironwood duck; a miniature redwood desk and chairs; a redwood burl candle holder; a lizard on a rock; an african acacia mother and child; a parrot of unknown wood; a redwood snoopy and owl figure; a redwood relief; an india wood praying figure; and a pair of oval ironwood picture frames.

The first # selected wins the Mink Bear. The second # selected wins the Big Dog Basket. All other numbers drawn may choose from a pool of over 20 raffle items, first come, first choice. So although you do not have to be present at the Nov 22 3pm drawing to win, the sooner you stop by the Serendipity Book Store, the wider your choice.
