Spotlight on Madison NJ: Thrift at its Best
July 24th, 2008 Categories: Buying a Home in NJ, Madison Living
The trio of Consignment shops just off of Main St. in Madison NJ are none other than hidden gems.
Only locals know where to find them, but people come from near and far to peruse their eclectic shelves. Time after Time, Once and Again, and A New Leaf offer low prices on items ranging from flapper dresses from the fifties, to modern wears from just last season. Each offers a different array,
Once and Again for example offers refurbished furniture resold at discounted prices, while Time and Again displays gowns that hang from the ceiling. What’s more, the stores are all staffed by local volunteers who keep these small town treasures up and running…
Whether you are looking for a vintage bargain or just interested in browsing, the ever changing inventory is something to be experienced!
