Bling Thing 2025 will  feature dresses worn on the red carpet by Emmy Award-winning media entrepreneur Tanya Hart!
 Ms. Hart is no stranger to the red carpet, having garnered eight Emmy nominations – winning four – and receiving a Lifetime Achievement Gold Circle Award from the National Television Academy. A Muskegon native and graduate of Orchard View High School, Hart presented the Hackley Distinguished Lecture last spring. After learning about Bling Thing as a major fundraising event for Friends, she generously donated several of the gowns she wore at award ceremonies.

The Bodacious Boutique, located near the fine jewelry cases, will include Tanya’s dresses, along with designer clothing and accessories from additional significant donations. Brands include clothing by St. John and Emilio Pucci, boots by Vero Cuoio and Maison Martin Margiela, and much more!  There will also be our traditional boutique area with purses, boots, scarves and lots of fun things.

​We can't wait to see you in February!

Here's what   attendees have to say:
"I want you to know how much I enjoy the Bling Thing event. Every year, my aunt, friend and I look forward to it! I get a babysitter and enjoy a girl’s night out. We've been attending for many years. It's so fun to browse beautiful jewelry, get chocolate and wine, and go over our finds together. I always feel like I'm getting a great deal and love that the funds go to a great cause!”

“February is a nice time to get out and socialize...the event is so well organized, the items are so well-priced, and who doesn’t love wine and chocolate?”

          What Our FRIENDS Are 
​           Saying

"I love the 2nd Hand Prose Bookstore for gently used books, both hardbound and paperback, all very reasonably priced! They also have several very nice items for purchase, such as a great sturdy shopping bag, nice brass commemorative bookmark,, a large poster of the library, coffee mug and a wonderful laser-etched brick that actually came from the library during renovations. Even my children love to shop there for inexpensive fun books to read as well as for Birthday, Christmas or other special occasion  gifting ideas "
