I usually find that the appeal of a consignment store really rests in the eye of the buyer. With that said, Starry Eye's consignment collection is small yet particularly selected with a great many beautiful, quality items at reasonable prices. I should also mention that in addition to clothing, they have a great selection of shoes and even some quality toys and puzzles! I have purchased many gifts there for friends having babies and always get a "where did you get this?" when bringing a gift from Starry Eyes. Tip: The store does not necessarily wrap gifts, but they have adorable bags and tissue paper and are usually happy to fix something up for gift giving. Tip: They do have odd hours, so call ahead!

Etsy/garage sale, and any other way you'd like to describe is appropriate. Some will make you want to buy it instantly while some others may make you question who in the world would buy it besides as a gag gift. For example, some stickers of not safe for work body parts that are not close to being anatomically correct or doing lewd acts, that will give you some laughs while looking at them. Even if you are just looking to browse and not buy I believe this is a store worth checking out! The worker was friendly enough and tried greeting those who entered. Prices are hard to judge as I think some of the items are unlikely to be found many other spots so the value is up to the buyer. Like I said though worth a stop in even just for a quick Look around!

My granddaughter sat on the edge of a cube beside me she's 4, the women Sara staff membe came over yelling at her not to sit there that she might mess up what she "folded". Mean while you had four people standing around doing nothing with the exceprion of one young lady. I spend a lot of $$$ annually in Athleta all over the country as I travel with my job, my experience in other Athleta stores nothing like this! Lazy, disrespectful staff, corporate should send a swat team in and clean it up.... Also have the manager dress like she's working instead of just rolling out of bed. Had I not had two little girls 4 and 6 with me I would have left everything but two little girls waiting for the items they picked out.. Shame on you

They had a few little odds and ends, a couple of Richard Simmons tapes and whatnot, but they were more decor than offerings. I did peruse around, though I am not much of a clothes shopper. I will say, they were pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon. Most of the clientele were young people getting into thrifting. Respect. Everything was organized well and it was clean. The racks were all well kept. Being from Texas, I have no need for their coats or any of their warmer clothing, which they had a lot of. I was impressed that they had some vintage designer bags available. I know that is a big business right now. I think what they are doing, they are doing well. I am just not their demographic.

A few steps up and we opened the door to a Pandora's box of goodies! Cool vibe with good music to accompany your shopping adventure. Cashier and one other person walking the floor and available for any questions you may have Not looking for anything particular but one never knows what treasure they will find here. Clearly marked racks made finding sizes and designs easy. Prices were good, some items were priced well below what I anticipated while other pieces were spot on worth wise. Everything I looked at was clean and in good shape, ready for a new home. Really though the purple furry jacket would have been the cats meow for his GF but we passed it by. I'm sure someone will give it a good home

Plenty of Parking during the day, it shares spots with the BBQ Restaurant Next door, so as that business picks up, it can get a little crowded. There is so much to choose from, from toys, to clothes, to books and other children focused items. I was browsing as my sister was bringing things for consignment and wish I knew about this place prior to some of the purchases I made for her kids. Great prices, brands and variety -I was so pleasantly surprised because it's not a "huge" store. The place is very organized and tidy, makes it easy to to browse or simply run in and find the exact size you might be looking for. With kids changing so quickly in sizes and interests, this is a perfect and practical place to shop. I highly recommend checking them out. You can also check out their Facebook page as well, in that they post new items frequently. Don't miss out on gently used children's Patagonia clothes!
