Blue Gate Consignment

Last November we rented a small studio space with another photographer at Sanford & Son Antiques with 20 shops.  We found the additional shops one afternoon between a couple of senior portrait sessions and absolutely fell in love with the place.  It’s a bit quirky, a bit of a maze and a whole lot of fun inside!  Definitely worth checking out as you never know what treasure you will find that you absolutely NEED. =)  You can find these shops at 743 Broadway, Tacoma, WA, 98402 in the  heart of antique row, theater district.

The first person we met when we were exploring the stores was Terry of Blue Gate Consignment, her warm infectious smile welcomed us as we stepped into her shop.  When we first met Terry she was known as the “Consignment Queen’ and was located on  the ‘middle floor’ with several other merchants,  Now she is located in a much larger open space on the first floor of the building and has a blue gate as her front entrance, hence the name change.

Terry has a combination of 60’s, 70’s and contemporary fashions, offering everything from gowns to casual wear, shoes, purses, hats and 1 of kind jewelry,   She has petite to plus size fashions.  It truly is ‘individualized style, always affordable’.

Blue Gate Consignment is a 50/50 consignment store that has an ever changing inventory of fashion.  You can find more information at www.bluegateconsignment.com or you can e-mail Terry with your consignment or purchase questions at style@bluegateconsignment.com

Stay tuned next week as we introduce another ‘neighbor’ of ours.  You won’t want to miss these stores!
