Need Gift ideas?
We've got
lots of great gift ideas, from recycled metal wall-hangings,
tableware, embroidered wall hangings, mobiles and serenity chimes,
decorative baskets, singing bowls, journals, lamps and wonderful musical
instruments.
MAILING LIST -
If you haven't received anything from us in a while, you may
no longer be
on our
 mailing list. Sign up at the store, or
you can email us at:
plowsharecenter@sbcglobal.net
We'll send you information on up-coming special events at
our store, as well as money saving coupons.
Volunteer Opportunities:
WE NEED HELP! We
are always in need of energetic volunteers to help greet
customers, bag/wrap items and replenish inventory. And, if
you can work at another location (local school or church)
for a few hours on the weekends that would be great as well.
We'll take you for a few hours a week or a few hours a
month. You choose your own schedule. The good news is, when
you volunteer, you receive a 15% discount - which
comes in VERY handy for gift buying! Call Dianne at 262-547-5188 for additional information
- or stop by the store to pick up an application.
SPECIAL ORDERS
We gladly accept
special orders with a 50% down payment. In most cases, your
order will arrive within 10 days.
See upcoming downtown event listings at
Waukeshadowntown.com &
Downtownwaukesha.com
They will
include the hours for the Farmer's Market, Friday Night Live line up,
Art Crawl events, 2nd Fabulous Tuesday events and much more.
