More treasures are on offer at the Richmond thrift store

The weekly surprise that is the Richmond Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store in Steveston is the gift that just keeps on giving.

Last week, the Chatham Street store had its usual eclectic mix, including a set of sterling and mother of pearl knives from Birks, two vintage baby rattles, various pillboxes as well as an Autobridge bakelite board in mint condition.

This week is no different, with donations including several large porcelain water jugs, tea sets and what appears to be a large set of possibly crystal cocktail or champagne glasses.

The Richmond Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store raises money for medical equipment and for patient programs at Richmond Hospital, Minoru Residence and Lions Manor.
