A bit different from consignment ... you will be paid for your items up front. No remembering to pick up what didn't sell and no more sitting all day at a garage sale. Yikes! You can bring children's, teens and women's clothing, children's books, videos and music. Won't it feel great to clear your space!!!
Items should be current, clean and in good working order ... buttons are present and buttoning, zippers are present and zippering, belts and shashes are belted and sashed!
Bring in your things, no appointment necessary. They will be reviewed, time willing, while you wait and you will be offered a price ... one price for payment by check and 20% more if you would rather store credit.
If time is short and your items cannot be reviewed on spot, you may leave them with your name and phone number and you will be called with a price. If you decide not to sell, you will need to pick your things up within two days . If they are not picked up within the two day period they will become the property of the Bee Mine Shop. Sorry ... we don't want to do this but we have no room for storage ... please pick your items up on time!
Dawn on the shop ...
“Yikes … why did I do this? … because I like clothes. I like being creative with clothes. My closet runeth over with clothes of all sizes, shapes, textures and colors. I have always loved to shop for the thrill of the bargain … from since always, when a clearance rack is in sight, my heart skips a beat. Other really good reasons for doing this ... I want to do something that feels good, that helps people out, is easy on the environment, something that I can be passionate about, that my kids can be involved in and learn from and that is self-sustaining.”
“To me, clothes are an expression of your style … of yourself. They are fun … like crayons and paper and it’s not about the brand or how much you paid for it … it’s about how you put it together … how you feel when you wear something on the fringe of OMG. Follow my lead and come shop for yourself and bee free, take creative license. Try something new and fun without breaking the bank. Why not let the kids shop for themselves too … well maybe not the babies. So if you’re generally a tan and black girl - why not try a HOT PINK sweater!”
Dawn on life and family …
“I live in the present - my family is my priority and joy! My MOM philosophy … Kids need to be kids! I teach them to be mindful and to be present and strive to provide them with the resources necessary to live happy, healthy, balanced lives. Keeping things interesting, fun and moving is cool so music ... everyone should play Rock Band ... art, the outdoors, and karate ... all the Riley’s earned their green belts ... are some of our favorite activities. Oh yeah … and animals (two dogs, a cat, two guinea pigs, frogs, not sure how many chickens, holding fast on the ‘absolutely not’ to a crayfish!) keep things fun and interesting too!”
"I have interests in the healing arts, and totally relate to and grasp the mind body energy flow connection. I’ve trained as a level three EFT practitioner tapping cares and worries away. Chat with me about it sometime … very cool stuff.”
