Thank you consignors for your patience during this transition. Pictured with me is my sister, Annette. She’s been an organizing force in the back room tagging area and I am so grateful for her help behind the scenes cheerleading and consulting.

We are all smiles in our empty pod! We are ready to start accepting Fall clothing next week on Tuesday, September 3rd. THANK YOU consignors for your patience during this transition. Pictured with me is my sister, Annette. You likely have not seen her in the shop as she has organized the tagging area in the back and does lots of cheerleading & consulting behind the scenes. But I could not have gotten so organized without her! Thanks Sissy!

This photo of my hard-working electrician nephew Logan Patrick is the true story of owning a small business. Building maintenance is tricky. Contractors ghost you for bigger jobs. Balancing keeping the store open while also making updates requires flexibility from customers and staff. Logan has changed out over 100 bulbs to LEDs. You will notice the shop is brighter. Logan also added an electrical outlet for the new shoe closet which involved getting blizzarded by insulation while updating the wiring- All after working 10 hours at his day electrician job. His patience with Aunt Nita requests is amazing. Small businesses often rely on family help. This shop is no exception. Thanks Logan! ❤️

Have you always wanted to work at our shop? We are entering our busy season and looking for some temporary part-time help (think 1-2 shifts a week). Weekend availability is a must. We will start being open on Sunday afternoons after Labor Day thru Thanksgiving. You must be flexible and willing to do everything: hanging clothes & costumes, organizing projects, sorting, and cleaning- we stay busy! You should have good math skills, excellent phone skills and be able to interact with our fantastic consignors and customers. Obviously we want someone who is honest, presents a clean appearance and is reliable in coming to work when scheduled. If this sounds like you, email a letter of interest to us at [email protected]!

This week’s deals are all about SUMMER! We’ve got great weather this week so stop in and grab a few things you can wear right away!

It's Thursday so that means we are open until 7 pm.
