Holiday Home Tour!

The Friends of the Collinsville Library will present a Holiday Home Tour featuring five decorated homes, a living nativity, refreshments, live Christmas music and much more on December 1, 2007 from 2:00 to 7:00 pm.

Tickets are $10.00 in advance and $12.00 on December 1st. Theme baskets will be on display at the Collinsville Library for a silent auction from November 15th through December 1st. These baskets would make perfect gifts for the holidays!

Would you like to have a magnificent hand-knitted holiday stocking for only $10?

Betty Druck, our knitter of considerable skill, is ready to take orders; she has a huge portfolio of patterns and colors, and each stocking can be personalized with a name.

They make great gifts for baby or bridal showers, adoptions, blended families, or "just because that felt stocking from a big box store is tacky" - some folks even order them for cherished pets.

Betty adds special embellishments to her stockings--beads for the center of flowers or tree decorations; angora yarn for beards and tiny ribbons on packages. A variety of patterns are available and you may view pictures at the library.

Stockings will be delivered in November

and they still cost only $10.

Each stocking is a labor of love as well as a work of art. What are you waiting for? Call the library today!
