Veronica's Open Attic


      A NEW WAY TO SUPPORT CDS --

                VERONICA'S ATTIC IS OPEN TO CDS BOSTON MEMBERS


   Dear Dancers,

   The stash of men's and women's clothing and accessories held by Veronica
   McClure is now available to CDS Boston members with 50% of the proceeds
   going to CDS Boston to support its programs.

   Some background:  Veronica has been involved with clothing one way or
   another for years.  About 3 years ago she became keeper of the Scottish
   Exchange, a donate-and-resell fundraiser for the RSCDS Boston scholarship
   fund.  Between the Scot Ex and her own clothing interests, her attic is
   full of wonderful items of many kinds.  Now the attic is available to
   English dancers as well.  Proceeds from the items donated specifically to
   the ScotEx will go to the RSCDS, but proceeds from the other items will
   be shared with CDS Boston when purchased by CDS Boston members.

   Although there are many tartan/plaid items, there are far more not tartan
   or plaid items - plus you don't have to be Scottish to enjoy plaids and
   tartans. 

   For women, there are lots of good wools, silks, and cottons in all kind
   of garments, some genuinely antique clothing as well as reproduction
   garments, a selection of petticoats (so feminine!), formal wear, jewelry,
   and accessories in sizes 4 to 22.

   For men, in addition to kilt wear, there are tuxedo jackets, formal,
   dress, and informal shirts, a variety of vests, and a small but lovely
   selection of sports jackets, as well as jewelry and accessories.  We can
   certainly "formalize" most men for relatively small money!

   There are also laces and trims, buttons, and fabrics for those who sew,
   garments for costumes, many one-of-a-kinds, some children's items,
   danceable vintage-styled women's shoes, ladies' dance shoes, several
   pairs of Capezio jazz oxfords, and even a pair of new dance sneakers.

   The vast majority of items are priced between $5 and $20.

   The Attic is open by appointment.  Email with a time or two you 
   could come.  Either way, here's a chance to support CDS while playing in 
   the clothes.
   
   The Attic is about 3 miles from Springstep, i.e., from the junction of 
   Routes I-93 and 60. Email for precise directions
   from your starting point. 
   
   If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
