Just a few things in my experience... Sage, the owner is an absolute professional and I have been consigning with her for years at different locations. The James street and NW store seem to be inconsistent with each other as far as what they will accept. If one location does not take something, I go to the other store and they accept it. So, it may depend whose working or the particular needs of the store at a given time. This is my biggest issue with them is the consistency. Their acceptance seems to, at times depend on who is working and I rarely see the same gals behind the counter. They are always pleasant and don't make me feel rushed though. I like that they donate clothes, so you know if Labels does not accept them they will end up in a good home :-) I have purchased a few books here (bran new) but rarely anything else. I searched for jeans several times and can't find my size. Also, it's hard to get to clothes because most of them are jam- packed on the racks with little room to freely move about the store. They accept and move an insane amount of merchandise, which is great for consignors but doesn't lend to to a very pleasant shopping experience. Payments are always prompt and hassle free. Some places require you to have a minimum amount in your account. Not the case here, just present your ID and you're good to go!

I agree with those reviewers who say Labels is great for buyers, not so great for sellers. I only…read morehave experience with the Northwest store. Early on, I brought in some jewelry, including a pair of sterling and emerald earrings for which I had paid $85. I was assured someone would phone me about pricing before they went out onto the floor. I never received a call, and when I checked the site, they had already been sold, for $23! I got 40% of that. Another pair of nice new earrings and a pair of unworn cotton leggings somehow vanished; never shown in my items list and never accounted for. So, I advise sellers to NEVER select "donate," but pick up what they don't sell, as it is so easy for "donated" items to disappear. I will not ever take jewelry to Labels again. A couple of small pieces were clearly marked Sterling; they sold them for $5 each, so I received $2.00 for a piece of Sterling jewelry! Not worth the trouble. Whoever is in charge of pricing jewelry does not know what she is doing. With other items, I have done better: shoes, clothing, and a brand new throw still in the bag. Sellers beware, though.

I discovered this sweet shop a few months ago when doing some Bellingham thrifting with my mom…read more It's in a fairly large space and is so incredibly well organized - one of my #1 requirements in a thrift shop! All of the items were clean, and there wasn't really any "junk" to sift through to find treasures. As always, I started in the kitchen area, where I'm always looking for some interesting bowl, jar, or rare kitchen gadget to add to my collection. Then, I meandered over to the linens, through the furniture, over to clothing, and of course spent a considerable amount of time in their crafting and book area. Their prices were super reasonable, and the staff (who all - or most - appear to be volunteers) were very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be adding this to my Bellingham thrift store rotation!

Look no further than Cresswell Boggs, which is practically across the street from Mallard Ice Cream, so after you are done dropping your hard earned cash at the ice cream store, take a walk over here! The stuff in the store has a lot of my favorite items by Fred, Lip Shit, Accoutrements, Douglas toys and other gag items. They've managed to assemble all the gag gifts (and some really nice ones too) under one roof. Be prepared to spend a lot of money here. The inflatable cat unicorn horn was $9.99 here and $6.99 at Archie McPhee in Seattle. But still, take into consideration that you are in a historical town and you don't have to look further than a few steps for everything zany (and not so zany). Parking is on the street and metered parking is free on weekends and holidays. I didn't know this and fed the parking meter money on a Saturday (3/25/17) until I saw the sticker on the meter. Doh!
