You never know what precious jewel you have that someone else will want

The Treasures Inside
A man was exploring caves by the seashore. In one of the caves he found a canvas bag with a bunch of hardened clay balls. It was like someone had rolled clay balls and left them out in the sun to bake.

They didn't look like much, but they intrigued the man, so he took the bag out of the cave with him. As he strolled along the beach, he would throw the clay balls one at a time out into the ocean as far as he could.

He thought little about it, until he dropped one of the clay balls and it cracked open on a rock. Inside was a beautiful, precious stone!

Excited, the man started breaking open the remaining clay balls. Each contained a similar treasure. He found thousands of dollars worth of jewels in the 20 or so clay balls he had left. Then it struck him.

He had been on the beach a long time. He had thrown maybe 50 or 60 of the clay balls with their hidden treasure into the ocean waves. Instead of thousands of dollars in treasure, he could have taken home tens of thousands, but he had just thrown it away!


That's what happens when you shop at Freedom Consignment & Antiques.....one person's clay may be your jewel!!

How to find a good deal!

Advertisements, Newspaper Ads, Friends recommendation, we all have our "own" way of shopping and finding our next "great deal."




We all love walking out of a store thinking, "WOW!  What a great buy that was."  Sometimes it is luck that we happened upon that great deal.  Sometimes it's research that brought us to it.  Department Stores can be visited at the beginning of each season to see what they have as not much changes "during" the season.  Well, maybe I should change that.....Christmas stuff out before Halloween, Halloween stuff out before Labor Day....it's a nightmare.  It's so difficult to enjoy an upcoming holiday when the next holiday, three months later, is being thrown in your face.

These are a few reasons why consignment shops are great.  You can find whatever you need anytime of year without it being thrown down your throat. 

I went to Freedom Consignment & Antiques looking for a "particular" item.  No such luck (which is usually my luck).  I told them what I was looking for and left.  Two days later my phone rings and exactly what I was looking for...you guessed it...was just brought in.

That's the nice thing about Consignment shops...just because it isn't there on Monday doesn't mean it isn't there on Thursday....TO BE SUCCESSFUL shopping Consignment shops YOU HAVE TO KEEP GOING BACK!
