Actual customer feedback last week when it was 87 degrees and we had the air on & door open: “I love it when you have the door open. It’s a whole different vibe. “ We❤️ it too. So, you’ll find the door open on as many days as possible. Don’t you worry about the air conditioning bill- I got it. 😎 Come relax, wander & maybe find a treasure or two.

Anybody else save up their detassling money to buy back to school outfits at Foxmoor and Michael J’s in Old Capitol Mall in the 80s? Last week TWO consignors cleaned closets - TREASURE TROVES- and brought in freshly laundered vintage from the 60s- 80s. This outfit was 100% me in the 8th grade. It has been FLYING out of the store! If you are spring cleaning- or downsizing your parents or grandparents- we would LOVE to sell your vintage. Give us a call or stop in the shop!
