Boutique plans Christmas in July

By Staff | Jul 6, 2016

MEL TOADVINE The Golden Shell Boutique, at the Lehigh Acres Senior Citizens Center, will host Christmas in July from July 14-15.

If you like shopping for bargains, mark your calendars for July 14 and 15 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. That’s when the first-ever Christmas in July sale will be held at the Golden Shell Boutique in the Lehigh Acres Senior Citizens Center’s lobby.

“We’re having a great Christmas sale on the patio at the senior center,”?Linda Dillon, one of the managers, said. “We have some really great things for Christmas, including all kinds of Yuletide decorations and jewelry and clothing, almost anything you can think of at Christmas – for yourself or to give away as a gift.”

“Featured will be all things Christmas. Everything including Christmas trees, ornaments, Christmas clothing, table decorations, Christmas cookies handmade, strings of lights, Christmas stockings, wrapping paper, gift bags, bows, and Christmas music to mention just a few things,” she said.

The boutique is open every day that the center is open. There is no charge and you do not have to be a member of the center.

“Everyone’s really excited about our Christmas in July,” she said. “The members here and the volunteers who help out at our gift shop are eager to put the many things out. Like I said, they will be displayed on tables in the rear screened-in patio.”

MEL TOADVINE Ready for the sale are shop manager Linda Dillon, left, and Melissa Barry, of the center.

The boutique has been at the center nearly 35 years. Proceeds go to the center’s operational costs.

“We have new and gently used things at the gift shop,” Dillon said. “Many of the items are donated by members of the senior center.”

“Those who give us items must meet the standards of only things we would be proud to buy for our own homes or clothes we would enjoy wearing,” she said.

“Bring cash when you come to our Christmas in July sale,” Dillon said. “We are not taking credit or debit cards.”

The boutique is so popular that it takes a lot to maintain it. Dillon said that during season, there are more volunteers than ever.

“We’re very appreciative for the help,” she said.

Karen Carlson is co-manager.

There is plenty of parking at the center, at 219 Plaza Drive.

“Come one, come all,” Dillon said. “We all are going to have a great time.”
