Household goods including furniture, artwork, crafts, knick knacks and housewares fill the downstairs and the amazing collection of books that include a rare 98-volume set of Louis L’Amour novels (for sale at $495) is up a short flight of stairs.
Also upstairs, long-time volunteer Sarah Roemhildt has several copies of her book of inspirational photography and poetry for sale. If you want a signed copy, Roemhildt volunteers on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The Cottage is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Donations, except clothing, mattresses, computers and TVs, are gratefully accepted.
