A Bit of a Shoe Crush

Since my daughter was 2 years old, anytime she’d meet a new person, the first thing she would do is look at their shoes…The FIRST. THING.  Now, this is not something I taught her to do, it’s just part of her nature.  It’s true!  Her love of shoes is part of her nature, and that, my friends, she inherited from me.  Of course, this inheritance can be seen as a curse, but you can learn to live with it and not go completely broke! And you don’t even have to suffer with “shoe envy” as long as you  shop consignment!!

Check out these name brand beauties I found at our Coralville location…

Brands such as Jessica Simpson,  Steve Madden, BCBG, Seychelles, and Breckelles. Not pictured here, but waiting for you,  are several pairs of Coach, Donald Pliner, Michael Kors, Gianni Bini, Kenneth Cole and so many more must haves!  Slide your pedicured tootsies into any pair of these, a quick glance at the price tag, and the rest is a no brainer…they’re going home with you!!

Does This Look Familiar?

Do any of these garage images look familiar?  No…I didn’t sneak over in the middle of the night and take a few snap shots to embarrass you, BUT I know a lot of garages and sheds that look just like this!  Mine included!

Now that the weather is warming, it’s the perfect time to pull it all out and get rid of the stuff you don’t need.  Stuff Etc has a loooooong list of shoppers looking for all the stuff you need to unload.  Upgrading your grill?  Bring us the other one.  How many bikes have your kids outgrown?  Get them in here!  We have people looking for your quality used camping equipment, lawnmowers, gardening items, pool tools, outdoor summer sports equipment, and the list goes on and on!

Don’t waste any more time.  The larger items you don’t need an appointment for, drop those off ANY TIME.  The other stuff, make an appointment to bring those in at any of our five locations and enjoy a clutter free spring and summer.  Click here to access our appointment schedules. Now get out there and enjoy the weather!  See you soon.  🙂

American Girl Jackpot

Do you have a young girl in your life that the only thing she’s ever wanted is an American Girl Doll?  Or she already has a doll, but everything else is so darn expensive that she has no extra clothes or accessories?  Well… the luck of the Irish is shining upon YOU!!

The silent auction at our Iowa City location is nothing but Pleasant Company American Girl Dolls and accessories.  There are THREE dolls – Josephina, Molly and the West Germany Gotz Puppe, all seen here.   There is also an American Girl Horse with saddle; an American Girl accessory set that includes 20+ pieces of clothing on a garment rack with 4 pairs of shoes, 2 hair brushes, and hair curlers;  and an American Girl furniture set that includes a moon rug, a lamp, an orange couch, and a blue/green hammock.

You truly must see it to believe it!  So get over to our Iowa City store, located at 1027 Hwy 6E, next to Slumberland.  If you would like to call and check on the current bids, you can reach them at 319.338.9909.  This auction will end NEXT SUNDAY, March 20th.  Don’t waste any time…place your bid TODAY!  Click here to see all the other silent auction items currently up for bid at all five locations.

Why Buy Consignment Clothing?

Consignment shopping is a great way to stretch your wardrobe dollars! Merchandise is priced at 1/3-1/4 original retail, so you are able to add current, high-quality apparel & accessories to your wardrobe for a fraction of the cost.
Consignment shops are never boring!  You’ll find a lot of unusual and interesting pieces – and you don’t have to wade through 50 of the same thing on every rack!
AND…consignment is a great way to contribute to a healthy planet!
