Film Biz Recycling in Long Island City is holding a holiday extravaganza! I’m reporting a few days late on this because I wanted to ensure I got my own shopping done first. Sorry kids, but it’s a jungle out there.
If you didn’t read the previous post on FBR, here’s the rundown….
FBR is a non profit organization that accepts donations of props from the entertainment industry which would otherwise be thrown out. Not everything is vintage, but it’s definitely all been recycled. It would be interesting to know where each item came from. I never ask about all of them, but it seems like “Taking Woodstock” is the gift that keeps on giving for me. The last time I was there, I bought a bunch of stuff from that film and I just ended up with more.
I walked away with 4 large tote bags of small, gifty items for $182. I’ve spent more than that for 3 totes in the Korean grocery! (Ok, perhaps a fib)
The holiday sale is not just gifts. Check it out for all of your holiday decoration, gift wrapping and ribbon needs.
*Tip: Parking is a bitch on weekdays. Weekends are easier.
Some of the items I purchased for resale…..
I’m going to castrate Bud Man. That thing is annoying me.
I bought the two red ones on the ends. I think the others were gone. I didn’t see them.
