Somewhere over the rainbow….

March 16, 2009 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

31609rainbow…is that where you are looking for your resale shop pot of gold? Following a rainbow can lead to a pot of gold, but only if you really work at it.  What with all the current media interest in consignment and thrift shopping, it’s feeling like we’re all having the luck of the Irish!

But it’s important to remember that one must make hay while the sun is shining. 31609haysunshineHarvesting a crop only works when the weather’s right…and it could hardly be righter, now that the media has decided for the public that “it’s smart to be thrifty” or “Green is the new black” or “Conspicuous Consumption is so yesterday…it’s chic to consignment shop.”

Now is the time to bolster your business and give it a giant step 31609moon-landingforward. The time could not be more right to get your shop noticed, whether you want people to consign, to donate or to sell to you, as well as to introduce the concept of secondhand shopping to all those people who have never explored the option! That’s what I was thinking when I answered a comment on one of my earlier entries.

Ouch.

Happy St.Patrick’s Day!
