This week, I received terrific news from Betty Shipley, who owns Fashion Find in Holly Lake. She has opened second shop at 401 East Broadway.

Fashion Find 2 specializes in Women's and Juniors' quality consignment clothing and accessories, new jewelry and new purses, home decor, Jojoba Butter and Avon products.

Fashionable women with a thrifty side will have a ball checking out the store.

Betty also alerted me to the fact that she offers fashion shows free of charge. The last show raised $1,500 for an organization!

This month, she'll be doing a fashion show for MOPS in Winnsboro. Betty said, "So, if you know anyone that needs a fun fundraiser, please pass the word along."

She's off to a great start in her new place. In fact, she said, "I am excited about being in Winnsboro. It is a great community and everyone has been so receptive to the business."

Each restaurant is offering two entrees and, obviously, seating is limited at each venue. Your ticket will be specifically designated for the particular restaurant you select. You can check the menus for each and decided where you'd like to dine.

Tickets normally sell out fast, so it's highly recommended that you get yours now, particularly if you plan to dine with a group of friends or your family.

The leisurely pace of the evening in the historic downtown area decorated for the holidays is a relaxing way to ease into the holiday season.
