I can understand a stricter return policy especially if the items are seasonal and the season is over but this wasn't the case the purchase and return were made before the Christmas holiday.

Being…read moreconsignment, the prices are a bit higher than your Target or Walmarts, but you know you're getting a present that is a lot more unique. It will also benefit a local artisan. Only thing I can say is, I wish the place was larger, so I could see more items. Location is convenient for me, but it is in the middle of East Kingston, so there isn't any other shops around. It's a hidden jewel. Follow their Facebook page to see new items without having to stop in all the time. It's a great way to see what's new and going to peak your interest. They also, from what I was told, do coupons in the Valpak envelope. I've never seen them though. Check this place out!

Then there are lots of little sections with handmade items from local crafters/artisans.

The staff is helpful and personable and clearly hard working, as the shop is beautiful and constantly supplied with the latest items.
