Island Treasures Resale Shop announced that it would be open Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from noon to 4 p.m. throughout the 2014–15 winter and would accept donations during those hours. In December, it used Carol’s Barn for holiday decorations and offered remaining items for free-will donations before a Christmas-week closure. Weather notices in January and February 2015 document occasional closures and reopenings, while a January promotion offered sweaters for two dollars.

This preserves the shop’s first-party schedule notice, not its proceeds or donation volume.
