📅 May Closures

Please note that we will be closed on the following dates:

• Monday, May 25 in Honor of Memorial Day

✨ Highlights

We have a few important updates this month:

• This month, we celebrate our volunteers! Please take a moment on your next visit to ask one of our wonderful 'Red Aproned" helpers about our community, the fun we have and the good that we do! Ask us how to volunteer at The Guild Shop! "We have a lot of fun doing a lot of good!"
• Please review our “NO-TAKE LIST”. Items on this list will be donated, as they typically do not sell and we do not have space to store them.
• Take-in dates have changed for Clothing and Jewelry. Be sure to review the updated schedule below before bringing items in.

🏡 Household Consignment

April Dates:

• Sat, May 2 | Wed, May 6 | Sat, May 9 | Wed, May 13 | Sat, May 16 | Wed, May 20

We ask that consignors bring their best items, pre-sorted and ready for the floor. Each item should have your account number attached, and contracts should be completed with as much detail as possible.

• ✔ 8 items per consignment date
• ✔ Matching sets count as one item (must be complete unless antique)

We continue to maintain a no-take list for a reason — these items simply don’t sell and we do not have space to store them. Please note that some items are not accepted at any time, while others are seasonal restrictions for May only.

🌸 No-Take (May only)

• ❌ Pewter
