ACCEPTABLE ITEMS FOR SPRING/SUMMER

Before you enter your items for the sale, ask yourself the 3 C’s: Is it cute? Is it clean? Is it current? If you are questionable on any of those answers, save it for your garage sale. Bring only your best. We want this shopping experience to feel more like a boutique than a thrift store.

We accept gently used items in current styles and excellent condition free of stains, smells, and tears. We accept clothing ranging from petite to plus, including maternity, as well as nice home décor and furniture.

QUESTIONS

If you have any question about the acceptability of an item, please email us before the sale.

Please be patient and gracious if an item is not accepted.
