Yellowbird Consignment Company - "Shop Cheep!"

When I moved to Florida I brought with me all the clothes we owned. This included all kinds of winter clothes, clothes the kids were outgrowing and even maternity clothes. I didn’t want to just toss these clothes as some were in perfect condition.

Driving through our neighborhood one day I noticed a cute building with signage stating it was Yellowbird Consignment Company . As soon as I got home I called and found out that they would take the kid’s and women’s clothes as well as shoes and also the maternity clothes!

Upon entering Yellowbird you find they are so much more than just a consignment shop!

They have clothes and shoes from casual to formal. Purses, bags and scarves as well! In the kids section they have clothing, shoes and toys. They also have lots of new jewelry, soaps, artwork, and much more from artists who consign their work there as well.

The store was opened in May 2012 and is owned by Cheri Kaczmarek. Cheri, as well as Manager Katy Ferguson make every customer feel at home. They are friendly and always willing to help you out. From my very first visit these two have made me feel like a friend. They offer topnotch assistance and will help you with your shopping. I have gone to the store a few times not really looking for anything in particular, but they have aided me in finding something great while there.

Their consignment contract and guidelines are very easy to follow. You can find all the information you need about consigning here.  

What is also great about Yellowbird is that some of their items can be found in an online shop! Although not as extensive as the in shop experience, you can find many great items there!

Also be sure to check out their Facebook Page for more information and pictures!

Getting Crafty & Making Headbands

I've always loved cute infant and toddler headbands and when I found out I was having a little girl in 2012 I couldn't wait to start buying some for her. Then I found they were quite expensive! She has had a few over the years, but doesn't usually keep them on too long as some of the decorations are just too big and outlandish!

I decided with my plans of being more crafty in 2014 that I would just start making my own! There are tons of places online to find headband making supplies, as well as shopping for accent pieces in craft stores or even thrift stores. I looked for some ideas on Pinterest, but then just wanted to design my own.

I enjoyed making them so much that I couldn't stop! I decided to start selling some at a more reasonable price than you find in most stores. A local consignment shop has given me space in their store to sell and I am very excited! 

I named my business To You From Me, JoceyMcG and made some simple card and sticker backings until I see how well they sell. These are some that I have on display.

These are some of my spring and Valentine bands, along with a pic of my daughter wearing her own Valentine band! 

I look forward to sharing more of my bands with you and letting you know how "business" is going!!
