Clothing on hangers show best however we will have table space for folded items. Attach the tag to the item, NOT to the HANGER. This can be done through a buttonhole, neck or waist tab, belt loop or with a safety pin. Specific hangers will not be returned to you but you are welcome to help yourself to what we have left after the sale. Be sure items such as pajamas are safety pinned together to ensure they don’t lose their match during the sale.  Any item that ‘does something’ must be in working condition with batteries, if required.
