Just an Update

So, it's been a while. I keep getting requests for an update so here we go.

The thrift shop has been open about a month now. We're doing great. New customers and people pop in all the time, and we already have quite a bit of regulars. Sorry I haven't been updating lately but I have been super busy. I finally have the store up and running successfully. And have 1 part time helper (my mom who works from 2-6 on Tues to Fri. And starting this upcoming week, I will have my handsome boyfriend as a full timer).

We are closed on labor day, but after that we will be open again from Monday - Friday 10am to 6pm, and Saturday 10am - 4pm. I have been back on the ball with my eBay although there isn't a lot listed right now, I have a bunch of things I will be listing in this upcoming week. Feel free to check out the ebay store Heather's Secret Treasures http://www.HeathersSecretTreasures.com

We have been getting alot of donations so that has helped out tremendously. We are in need of donations of hangers at this time. Adults and childrens, mostly adults. I would like to add a specific section for the undies & bras so lingerie hangers are welcome as well. Right now there are all in a bin, I think hanging them will be much easier for people to look through.

I saw a great article (I think it was on the MSN site?, can't remember, but I copied part of it. It's about things that are better bought used than new. Here is the list"
8 THINGS THAT ARE BETTER TO BUY USED;
