You will be able to cash it that day as well as receive a 10% coupon to purchase any items in store that day only.

2) CONSIGNMENT: Via this method, we will agree to sell your items at your determined price (advice on pricing will be offered if asked!). During this time, you will maintain ownership of the items until the items sell. Items will be on the floor for a period between 30 – 60 days.

At the end of each calendar month, you will be contacted to receive a check for the items that sold and be returned the items that didn’t sell.

While we wish we could accept all your items, please understand that we are designing this consignment to be very curated and particular given that we are a small boutique with limited space.  We are happy to refer you to other local businesses that will have a wider range of items to offer due to having more space and a different model. Use the list below as a guide for the types of items we won't be accepting.
