These boots are made for walkin...

Yeehaw! Our manager has flown the coop - in an airplane bound for Dallas! Every year our managers attend the NARTS (National Association of Resale and Thrift Stores) conference to learn how to make our stores even better for you. This annual event is held in a different city each year, and will be in Dallas, Texas for the 2011 conference. I hope Stephanie packed her cowgirl boots!

If you're interested in starting your own consignment store, or if you already have and want to be a part of an amazing group of THOUSANDS of store owners, check out the official website: http://www.narts.org/.

p.s. Finders Keepers Menswear - our new men's consignment store - is coming along! The build-out is well underway and we hope to open some time this summer.

What's in a Name? Name our new store and win $100 cash!

It might be a man's world according to James Brown... but that hasn't been true in the world of consignment. Finders Keepers is one of the few consignment companies that markets menswear. Our mens department has enjoyed a consistent influx of designer and contemporary menswear and essentials, and we wanna show it off! We're opening a new location - right next door to our Boutique in Decatur - to showcase and expand our high-end consignment selection.

Here's where you come in: We need a name for this new addition to the Finders Keepers family. Help us take this new store in the direction that best serves Atlanta's savvy, stylish men. It's easy: just comment on this blog post with your suggestion (don't forget to include a way to contact you) or email us directly at casey.kallenberg@fkconsign.com. If we choose your idea for our new name, we'll give you $100 cash and you'll be featured on our blogs.

We will accept submissions now through midnight this Wednesday, May 11th. So get your creativity on and show us what you've got!

and... i'm back! While this new mommy still reaches for gym shorts (hooray for elastic waist bands) each morning, I eagerly await Stephanie's weekly emails so I can get my vicarious fashion fix. And this week touched on all my favorite little something extras: lace, layers, and originality.
