'Birth of Venus' before 'shove-unda'

'Birth of Venus' after 'Shove-unda'

A good friend hosts an annual event at her home she calls a 'Shove-unda'.  Guests are invited to bring clothing,accessories,books,anything that they might 'shove under' their bed because they're not using it and figure out they probably never will.  It's all placed in the middle of the living room where we look though and choose various     items while helping each other find specific items needed or desired. Whatever doesn't go home with someone is donated to a store that helps charities by selling used items and offers a percentage of the proceeds to a charitable
 cause in our county.
