I went here on Monday, March 25, 2019. I shopped around and spoke to the volunteer who worked…read morethere. It was an amazing experience.
This shop is located in the Carson City Senior Center and is open Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 3 PM. When I pointed out that the website said they closed at 3:30 PM, the volunteer apologized and said it was been that way for years. Much to my surprise, a few hours later it was corrected on the web, without me even requesting that.
For this gift shop, seniors who are 62 and older make crafts, jewelry, accessories, etc., and sell them here on consignment. 15% of the proceeds goes to Meals on Wheels, which the Carson Senior Center runs. The remaining 85% goes directly to the person who consigned the craft, so they may have some extra income! All items are new. They accept consignments Tuesdays and Wednesdays only. I asked if disabled people under 62 could sell items there, and the volunteer was not sure, but said to come back in a short while when the manager would be there.
The store has an enormous amount of items for sale, all very colorful. They have such diverse items as scarves, quilts, throw pillows, wigs, trinkets, pictures, trucks, teddy bears, home decor, jewelry, walking sticks, etc.
The volunteer I spoke to was oh so nice and professional.
They take the four major credit cards according to the sign on their windows, but the bulletin board inside says just three: MasterCard, Visa, and Discover. They also take cash, but no longer accept checks.
The store is so bright and colorful, I want to come back here soon to shop!
