Due to the business partners’ retail connections and experience, they additionally offer brand new, overstocked clothing and footwear at wholesale pricing. Special items from local vendors include hair clips, bows, handmade diaper cakes and a line of baby skincare products by Sweet Grass Farms. In addition, Itsy Bitsy Thrifty is the exclusive local seller of Charm It! jewelry for girls.

 

“Our mission is to give shoppers a bright, friendly place to shop while making the consignment process effortless,” said Palmer, noting that the most sought items currently include American Girl, swim and summer attire, toys, books, strollers and outdoor toys. “We’re proud to offer the opportunity to enjoy a high-end experience without downtown Boston boutique pricing.”

 

“If you have a perceived notion of consignment stores, come see why ours is so unique,” Fedas said. “We’re always adding new items and enhancements to the customer shopping experience.”

 

For example, the Busy Mom Service provides door-to-store concierge service through which items can be picked up and compensated on the spot. In addition, merchandise posted on Facebook (www.facebook.com/ItsyBitsyThrifty) may be purchased over the phone and held for pick-up.

 

Store hours are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, call (978) 362-3457 or visit itsybitsythrifty.com.
