On a whim, my girlfriend and I were exploring Palmer. It has such a coastal town feel, and we…read morecouldn't resist ourselves! We parked and so happened to have parked right in front of this adorable consignment store. We walked in and were greeted by a friendly storekeeper. :) She was the owners adult daughter and an artist vendor there. She was so sweet and friendly and helpful. They have Plus Size Women's Clothes, which is always a joy for me! :) I ended up buying a pair of LIKE NEW pants and an adorable shirt....for $12...one of my items was 75% off. I feel like it was destiny. Then we just looked at all the tid-bits of goodness, all around. Car fresheners, hand-embroidered items, unique knitted earrings and so much more! It was a great adventure. We're so glad we found this place. :) We will be back!

It's located in a building that hosts a community of shops including, a florist, a game type area, and a couple other stores that I failed to recall after I left the last couple times. When you first walk in, you kind of get an overwhelming sense of a thrifty, inexpensive, almost seedy feeling of a shop. The shop owner does have some beautiful finds that she showcases for customers to see, but they seem a little pricey for being a used/consignment shop. There's also a couple pieces of furniture for sale as well, but definitely in an as-is condition. When the owner isn't there, the staff seems pretty hesitant on making even little haggling decisions on items. They have all sizes, all styles, along with all weather and all occasion clothing. (Great place to find a formal!) My last visit found me leaving with a business casual dress ($4), three sleeveless tops ($6), and a pair of shorts ($2.75). It takes time to peruse... but if you're diligent, you'll get a great deal! Tip: don't shop in the middle of summer... You'll overheat once you've been wandering the store for a while and it'll be miserable trying clothes on that already smell questionable in the warmth despite plans to take them home to wash and it will probably deter you from spending money... Remember, you're going to be able to wash your purchased clothing, so don't mind the smell. Happy thrifty hunting!
