Odds & Ends

New Consignment Shop opens on the North End of town!

I first heard of the ReNew Family Consignment shop from their entry in the Libertyville Days Parade, back in June - I was excited to see we were getting a new resale shop, after the closure of the Blue Smock a few years ago. Well, the shop has finally opened this week! The store is located up in the Adler Square strip mall - which is the area that also features Cafe Pyrenees and my favorite Sushi place around - Sushi Thai (check them out if you haven't yet!)

One of the cool things about his shop is they not only sell clothes and other typical resale items, but also feature bigger items such as swing sets and bedroom furniture. They also seem to be very interested in being involved in the community - they're already an Associate Member of Mainstreet Libertyville and seem to be planning fundraising events for community organizations.

You can find out more information on the store's web site: http://www.renewfamilyconsignment.com/
