Estate Sale stop landed me in a Consignment Shop find!

This past weekend we stopped at an Estate Sale. Nothing new for us since we try to fit in as many as we can. lol

This turned out to be one of the more interesting Estate Sales we have been to for awhile. Translation: I spent money and bought alot of great old gadgets etc.

But one thing I did not count on was meeting a really very nice lady that just opened up her own business right here in our city of Kenosha called SECOND HAND ROSE.

I love resale shops so it peeked my interest when I over heard her talking about her shop. It also catches my interest when someone is doing something that has always been a dream of mine. But for whatever reason I have not been able to start a shop for myself but I always love to hear success stories from others.

Anyways, I spoke to her in great lengh about her new store and found that it actually was right down the street from our home so I made a mental note to stop in the next day after dropping the kids off at school.

Well what a delight! She made a little store seem big with so many collectables, glass ware, books, this and that, and a whole bunch more! lol The basement was even turned into another whole section of great 'stuff' to pick through and check out.

The best part I found was the decent and fair prices. The items were all clean and everything was placed in a very appealing way that made it very easy to see everything that was for sale.

I hope to come back here often as I'm sure she will have many new things to check out and just like Estate sales etc...you never know what you may find!

This great little store is located here in Kenosha.

I do too! I get a lot of good things at Goodwill too.
I rarely stop at the second hand stores out of fear of filling my house with more things that I need.

Maybe this winter I will make a project of going through my boxes of stuff that have been there since I moved in. I could post some of the stuff I never look at on theBubbler classifieds!

Then by next summer I will have room for more and can start all over again!

Wow, just noticed this post about the SECOND HAND ROSE store I really liked to go to . Well just to show you how fast a new business can close up. This store closed quite some time ago.

That's too bad.. I really like second-hand stores and "junque" shops! I try to hit all my local ones a couple times a week..

This is a good opportunity to point out that on any post new or older if you see something about a business, store, event, whatever that you would like to go to, please call ahead before you leave your house to go. The event may be cancelled, the store or business may have closed up, moved, or changed hours since the member posted about it.
