Why did I start a Consignment Shop?

I get this question a lot. And I smile.

I remember when I was about 11 years old. My mother would make my clothes. With 6 kids to feed and clothe it was the cheapest way.

Then one day my older cousins were cleaning their closet. My aunt brought over a big trash bag full of clothes my size. Could we use them?

I was in heaven! I spent the day trying on outfits and parading in front of the mirror. I had so much fun!

And thus began my love of clothes!

Shopping at "real" stores is ok, but shopping at Consignment Shops is more of a treasure hunt! There's a thrill you get when you score the perfect jeans. Or a top that would cost $30 but you get for $8. Sweeeet!
Girls just love to shop - why not shop smart!
