Print just about anything, free

The other day, I had an idea I wanted to send a friend, an idea that had to do with storks and babies (no, I’m not pregnant; she’s not either; it’s kind of an in joke.)

HowToConsign says be green... print only what you need!

So I needed just one piece of stationery to send a note now, and it had to be embellished with a stork. Did I waste time, gas, and money driving all over town, or did I have to order (and pay for!) a whole box when I just needed one? How UN-eco-conscious would that have been?  Did I try, with unskilled hands, to draw a stork of my own? (How pitiful would that have been.) Did I spend an hour trying to design something on my computer? (Did I mention right now?)

Luckily for me, I knew a website that has downloadable, full-color, editable templates for all sorts of things…

including stork stationery!

I’ve known Kitty forever… or at least it seems that way, because she is a vibrant part of the resale industry. Long-time Board member and current President of The Association of Resale Professionals, her wisdom and professionalism are well-evident to her long-time customers and consignors. We’re so pleased that she agreed to this e-interview, and we are excited to spotlight her shop on our blog!

What you will find in the stop: A huge selection of stylish fashions for the entire family and home. From babies to moms and dads, there are enticing departments of in-style clothing and accessories for everyone in this 7500 square foot store. Since items must be three years old or newer to be accepted, you won’t find items from your grandma’s closet. There’s also an ever-changing great selection of home décor and small furniture.
 
Who you will meet in the store: A great group of gals of all ages work to make customers feel welcome. “We love to meet new people and spoil our old friends,” says Kitty Boyce, owner.

The industry guru, Kate Holmes, tells all

It’s easy to get confused about just what type of resale store you’re dealing with. Did you know that a thrift shop can be a for-profit business with little or no money going to charity? Or that many consignment shops are much more charitably-focused than you might think? Or that Buffalo Exchange is NOT a consignment shop?
