This is the entry into Revente, Deb McD's shop in Columbia, South Carolina. Doesn't it look tempting!

Sid & Nancy is Deb's new shop near Revente, specializing in the younger, hipper, high-school and college crowd. It opened Spring 2007.

"Here's a view of Wear it again, Sam in Rapid City SD. The shadows are from the signature daisies on the door. Anchoring the swing shop with an area rug was a tip I picked up in Cincinnati NARTS fall seminar." Janis (Kate says: Notice that her display is attractive from all 4 sides!)

And this play area is from the-other-Janis' Texas shop, The Young and the Restless. For a shot of why this country needs child labor laws, go to Shopkeeping Fun.

Here's another Texas shop, Small Changes Kids in Houston, sent in by Cheryl Corbett. Note how well the white window lettering stands out!

"Colleen here from Echo Trends in Canada. This is a pic of one of my employees at our cash counter. This pic was taken with my cell phone so it isn't great but I guess it will do. I love that you are doing this...it give others ideas."

This is Jada's shop, Take Two in North Carolina "We carry items for the whole family  from preemie to plus sizes."

Staci Way of Way Classy Consignment, in Florida: 
"We are decorated for Christmas here. I'm in the photo with the mannequin (Staci) and my mom Alice is in the photo with the Christmas tree and table. We try to utilize the space of the shop since its only 850 sq feet." 

"I opened Little Hearts in Russell, KY on May 2, 2005. It's a children, infants and maternity consignment shop. That is me cutting the  ribbon held by my mom, Angie and my husband, Scott. And the cutie is my daughter, Sydney. She comes to work with me every day. She's the security guard," writes Tiffany Hixon.

Jen Kubala sends these shots of her shop: "Ritzy Ragz & Thingz, Modesto CA is about 1400 sq. ft. I've owned it with Sharon Stencil since January 2005. We hope to move to a bigger spot soon or have a second location.  One of the old non-working partners can't believe the sales since I took over.  He owned it for 2 years before I took over and prior to that it was really just a junk shop for 2 years."

Sass is Jana Foehrenbach's new incarnation of her shop which she opened in 2004. I love the wall patterns, and that they are altered from area to area. Pretty sassy, you ask me! Jana's shop's in Calgary AB Canada.

Molly B of Once Again in Roswell, NM: "I bought my shop July '04. Approx 1,600 sf and another 500 sf storage." [Run your mouse over the pix for Molly's commentary, then click to enlarge.] "I am on Main Street with a quilt shop, a florist/gift shop, frame shop that carries gifts and the Hispano Chamber of Commerce, office supply store and shoe store. In March I will have a great draw for foot traffic right next door, The Alien Encounter. It draws the tourists during our annual UFO Festival over the Fourth of July Holiday in celebration of the 1947 UFO crash just outside Roswell.

we have gone to a predominately Teen store. The girls who work for me did a collage of pictures from teen and fashion magazines in our consignment area. My niece painted girls shopping for a border. We have also been doing our displays by color, and have set up a speed bump as you first come in. We are getting rave reviews!"

Nancy writes in January 2005: "The Exchange in Lake Wales, FL has 2000 sq ft. on the main floor plus our wedding room and two storage areas. We carry ladies', including formal and wedding gowns, men's, children's and small home decor. We have been busy redecorating and playing on a purple theme. Hurricane Charley took our awning so we are replacing with a purple one."

Betcha can't guess whose shop this is. Wendy Sam's. It's a great shop. You never have to straighten the racks. 

Serendipity owners Julie Buckman and Cyndi Arwood say: "Our name fits because people are so tickled to find a consignment store right in the middle of a touristy area. We opened January 2005."
