Drop-Off Times:
THURSDAY OCT 4, 10AM-2PM
SUNDAY OCT 7, 2PM-6PM***
MONDAY OCT 8, 6PM-8PM
Directions to Dovecote:
Drop-off location is at the display space:
13000 Athens, Space 337 (third floor)
Lakewood, Ohio 44107
For drop-off on Thursday and Monday, please use the west drive (off Athens Ave) and park anywhere you can find a space (please be careful not to block in any other vehicles or trucks.) Make your way toward the large chimney on the back southwest corner of the building. There are dock doors just to the east of the chimney. Through those are the freight elevator and stairs. Follow the stairs to the top, through the door, then forward and to the right and right again. Dovecote is marked on the door.
**On Sunday, the west gate is closed and you will need to come through the back entrance. This is located off of Bramley. Follow the west drive north through the parking lot toward the chimney.
To Prepare Jewelry for Drop-off/Mailing:
Please mark each piece with its inventory sheet number, price, and your name. This can be marked for each on a plastic bag or envelope. No need to use fancy tags, we will be price tagging each piece during the installation so that everyone's tags look the same. Also, no need to use up your favorite earring cards. We'll be displaying everything as simply as possible while making sure they look great and that people will know who made them and how much they cost.
