November 1, 2015. Madison, Ms. Consignment Shops.

The consignment shops in the Jackson area are excellent.  There are four worth visiting.  They are large and the quality of the items for sale is high.   I can not figure out why they are so good.  Other places with much larger populations don't come close to the variety and options available here.

When Don and Doreen were coming to visit, I was checking the guest room  and discovered that, although the room was pleasant, the room had no drawers, so the four of us went shopping at the consignment shops to find a long chest or buffet to fit the space.   We fanned out into the first store and checked out all available options.  When an object seemed feasible, we called to each other to check it out.  We had fun.

The first object Ken found was a beautiful buffet, made of solid mahogany but it was too big for the guest room.  He decided it would look great in our bedroom but I was not sure it would fit.  But I found a white, long low chest perfect for the guest room, so we bought it.  Our plan was to measure, then call the owner to tell her our decision on the lovely piece.  It took us 20 minutes.

We celebrated our purchase by eating lunch at a wonderful Italian restaurant in the Renaissance.   And when we got home we measured, then bought the buffet for the bedroom.  The chests were delivered the next day and both look as if they were always in place.  we four were pleased with our shopping.
