Look Out Scottsdale, Arizona…Here We Come!

Did you know that I will be delivering the keynote speech this weekend at the 22nd Annual NARTS Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona?  NARTS is the National Association of Resale and Thrift Shops and I am the Immediate Past President and am honored to have been asked to keynote.  The speech topic is ‘Our Time To Shine’ and if you’ve been keeping up with our Consignment Chic television show, consignment shop bus tours and all the press we’ve been getting lately, then you know Collage has truly been in the ’spotlight’!
 
Andrea and Barbi are coming with me to Scottsdale, so please go by all the Collage stores to keep our staff company while we are out of town.  We’re STILL taking in FABULOUS Summer merchandise, but only for 1 more week!  July 1 we switch to accepting Fall merchandise, so hurry in to get all the new Summer items while they last! 

See you soon!
