"We take nice consignment," says Rita Hitchin; her partner is Marilyn Hughes. "We get mostly large things -- armoires, china cabinets, chaise lounges, desks, bedroom sets, dining room sets, couches, big divider screens, and Limoges porcelain. It's amazing the number of people redoing their homes who have something nice that they don't need, but don't want to give away." "Marilyn loves selling," Hitchins says, "I love buying." Girlfriends in Indiana and Paris supply additional antique inventory. The pair recently sold a solid plank harvest table for $1400.
