-----------------

Don’t forget about the consignment room we started, now is the time to stop in browse around and look at all the new upscale items we have “coming in and going out daily”, just in time for the Holidays to help you save MONEY

Example: Artificial X-mas tree 6.5 ft high, avg. retail price over $379.00 (sold) for only $70.00 (was not in on consignment for more than 24hrs!) now that’s a bargain!

Our recommendation to everyone is, if you see it here today and like it buy it! Because it may not be here tomorrow seriously!

Many items we have brought in, our clients call back and want to purchase what they have seen a few days later but unfortunately for them it was SOLD

We have many X-mas tree ornaments, collectibles to antiques and miscellaneous

X-mas plates platters, cups etc. well below current retail prices. Great gifts to give or just to have for your own pleasure, right in time to entertain your special guests for the Holidays.

We also have many vendors that are offering brand new one of a kind merchandise.

Upscale name brand clothing and accessories coming in daily, so why pay high retail WHEN YOU CAN SHOP AT ....
