consignment is cool

My name is Gina and I am a single mom of a 10 year old girl. I live in Princeton NJ. I own a Children's Consignment shop called Milk Money. There are a few of us - one in Maplewood, Montclair, Morristown, and one in Hastings - on- Hudson.

I thought my store would be just another consignment store for the locals who just couldn't afford what Princeton has to offer, Boy, was I wrong. I have bags of brand new clothes - brands like Oilily, Lily Pulitzer, and many European brands. The used clothing has barely been worn. I can no longer take most "common" brands like the Gap and Gymboree because I don't have the room. Even the tweens are beginning to come in with their own money and shop.
People that I never thought would come into "this kind of store" are bringing in their clothing by the bins - and shopping too!
My salary has gone UP. I am not happy about what is going on - but I also see this as a reality check.
We can't keep taking from the world and expect to go on forever.
Consignment is COOL
