Second Bling Bling Sale Planned By White Oak Library Foundation

ROMEOVILLE, IL — The White Oak Library Foundation will hold its second annual Bling Bling sale and fundraiser at the Romeoville branch library on Sept. 29-30. The fundraiser will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on both days at the library, 201 W. Normantown Road.

The public is invited to the event, and admission is free, according to a release.

At the event, shoppers can browse over 5,000 pieces of gently-used costume and vintage jewelry, as well as evening bags. Most earrings and bracelets, necklaces, rings, brooches and assorted jewelry are priced at $1 or $2, according to a release.

Most of the jewelry is pre-owned, but there are some new pieces in the original packaging. If you're a jewelry maker, there are also hundreds of jewelry bits and pieces that can be deconstructed and reused and will be sold for as little as 25 cents each, according to a release.

High-quality jewelry and vintage bag will be sold for $20 to $200.

Everything in the sale was donated, mostly by the patrons and staff of the White Oak Library District, according to a release. The fundraiser is being organized by former Library Foundation Director Carol Coverdill, who has led the volunteer committee of Foundation directors through sorting, pricing and organizing the sale, a release states.

All proceeds of the sale will be used by the Foundation to benefit the Library. Cash, credit, and debit cards will be accepted at the event, according to a release.
