The Jewish Community Center of Wyoming Valley will host a Holiday Boutique Sale from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday in the center, 60 S. River St. Wilkes-Barre. Among the gift items are candy and gift baskets from Sugar Plum; jewelry, pottery and stoneware from Earth and Wears; carpentry, wood items and aprons by John and Beverly Yencha; gift wrap, wine tags and other items by Atlanta-based Whimsy Press; and a Just Judaica gift shop of holiday items. Eco-Chic will offer purses, belts and necklaces, Diane McFarland will bring Lia Sophia Jewelry and Chris Keren will bring Nature Touch aroma therapy and hot and cold packs filled with herbs. Young dancers may appreciate the tutus and hair ornaments from Robyn Finberg Design, and children of all ages will likely be intrigued by the toys, games, arm candy and glow-in-the-dark train sets of Packaged Fun by Judy Smith. Lest you think pets will be forgotten, Kathy Roth of Doggy Duds has scarves for dogs and can custom-make a coat to fit your four-legged friend. Sabrina Weidlich of K9 Cookie Jar, meanwhile, has been working on a ‘special latke and applesauce flavor’ canine treat. While the Holiday Boutique Sale is on, the two ‘Sno-Ball’ races have been cancelled. Getting ready for the boutique are Keren; Barbara Sugarman of the JCC; Charlotte Klavonski, who has made scarves and baby items through the JCC Knitting Bee; and Roth.
