Our first ever Live broadcast jewellery show in support of Transition House

The jewellery show is going to happen on Facebook Live. Two of our staff will be presenting and talking about the pieces we have available in the auction. Think “Home Shopping Network”, but on Facebook instead of TV. We strongly recommend viewing the show on a PC, laptop, or tablet as it will be presented in a full screen format that may be difficult to view on a phone. This will be a live broadcast so you will have the chance to ask questions using the comments section in Facebook. “Like” our Facebook page (link below), make sure notifications are turned on, and just be on Facebook Friday, Nov 22 at 7pm and you will see a notice in your newsfeed when we go live.

The auction portion will be happening simultaneously on our website. If you see something you like, pop over to our website (link below) and you can bid on it. You will also be able to see all of the auction pieces at once and bid on any of them, even if you didn’t see them during the show. The auction will be open for just one hour, 7pm until 8pm. If you win the bid, you have 7 days to come into the store to pick up your item. You can pay with cash, debit or credit card in store. If you are not local to Fredericton, arrangements can be made for online payments via paypal or wire transfer and we can ship the item to you. Details will be sent to the winning bidder.

History of Women in Transition House

Women in Transition House first opened its doors in 1980 as a result of the hard work and dedication of a group of individuals led by Anne Crocker. Fredericton was the first city in New Brunswick to open a shelter for abused women and children.

*In 1991 the shelter was able to move to a newly renovated facility offering more room for clients. The services offered and provided have changed over the years as new resources and programs have been created and implemented throughout the province. 

*Our shelter is currently staffed by an Executive Director, an administrative support worker, full-time crisis interveners, a child support worker, and several relief staff.

The Live show will be shown on both the Digital World and Evergreen Traders Facebook pages. To see the show, “like” either page (or both!) , “follow” it, and then be logged in to Facebook when the show starts. We highly recommend viewing the show through a larger screen such as a laptop or tablet.

Here are the direct links to our pages: Digital World & Evergreen Traders

You should be able to find either page by searching for our name in the Facebook search bar.

Once on our page, look for the thumbs up “like” button just to the bottom left of the cover photo and select it. Right beside it is the “follow” option. If follow is set to “default”, you will occasionally see some of our posts, but not all. If you want to see everything we post (incuding the show), change that to “show first”. This won’t necessarily make our content show before others on your feed, it just means that you will see most (maybe all?) of the things we post. You can change this at any time.
