This is the way a consignment shop should be.

This hole-in-the-wall spot is full of character, not to mention great deals. The clothes here and cute and current, but still manage to be dirt cheap. I particularly recommend their selection of bags, jeans, and work pants, though there is also a decent selection of tops, dresses, outerwear and accessories. I've been here about 5 times, and have yet to leave empty handed.

The owner also has local artists display their work here and do trunk shows. I picked up a great handmade metal and onyx ring here on my last visit for $25, along with a funky, silky shirt to wear it out with for only $10. This is definitely a hidden gem you don't want to miss.

This store, simply put, rules. An absolute gem of a consignment shop, expertly edited. Everything in great condition at great prices: designer jeans, coats, blouses, shoes, bags, and jewelry (in other words everything you could possibly want). I bought two miniskirts, one velvety Old Navy perfect for fall (it was on sale for $4 -- how can you go wrong??) and a cool tweedy number for $14. Proprietress Shaunie (I may be spelling that wrong) introduced herself and was just as sweet as pie. And did I mention how cute the store is? It just is. It totally made me want to move to a small town and open a shop exactly like it. One day, one day....
