How long have you been here? That’s the question that we are asked weekly by customers. Seven years! Wow, it’s been seven years since we have been in business but it feels like only yesterday that we opened in our little 400sq. foot shop on Adams Street. Time feels like it has been flying by, as I watch my business grow and my kids too and I know this is a true testament to time.

Looking back over the years I have met lots of wonderful people. Many of which have become friends. If it were not for everyone: locals, part-time locals and returning visitors I would not have been able to do it without your support. 
I am grateful for you and look forward to another wonderful seven years. 
Cheers,
Charlette

The best thing about the store is that our customers feel like family. The days that I have spent in the store working, I feel like I’m not even working. I have the opportunity to frequently see regular customers and hear about their lives and the great things happening within our community. Our store has become more than just a store to me, it’s become part of my family. This is a feeling that we hope that we can give each and every customer as they walk in through our door and do business with us. We value you. These past seven years have truly been amazing.

Who ordered sunshine and warm days? These past few days of November have been absolutely gorgeous. How lucky are we?! Get in those last sun filled hikes or just sit in yard to soak up that vitamin D. Don’t let mother nature trick you though, it’s about to get C-O-L-D! In preparation of winter around the corner we will be taking the following:

• Winter Coats
• Sweaters
• Boots
• Snow Pants
• Small furniture

So please bring in your gently loved winter apparel you no longer use. We take men’s, women’s, and children’s. It’s your one stop shop for the whole family.

I’m already dreaming of Christmas. You know, that magical time of the year where it’s cold outside but warm with inside from all the holiday joy. We’ll be taking Christmas Décor until the second week of December.

We have a big announcement coming your way… Stay tuned

At the Roost Consignment Boutique, “re-use it again” isn’t a term we only use for clothing, accessories, and home décor. It’s a phrase that we use when it comes to our packing material. If you’ve shopped with us, you know we like to carefully pack fragile and delicate items. But we waste no resources packing away your precious products. We consciously decided to keep our business practices as sustainable as possible by re-using gently used paper and cardboard products, giving them a second life. We love to reuse whatever we can! Help us invest in the future by recycling today.  

We’re starting to run low on materials and would love if you’d be willing to recycle your used:

• Cardboard Boxes
• Paper bags
• Newspaper
• Packing and/or tissue
• Plastic bags

If you’re looking to get rid of any of those materials, please feel free to drop them off instead of throwing them away. We appreciate it! You can drop off any of these materials during our hours of operation. You do not need an appointment. 

Don’t forget your Roost Bag, when you use your Roost Bag you’ll get an automatic 10% off. You’re able to stack this 10% as an additional savings to any other on sale items you’re purchasing. It’s a double win for you, save money and the environment at the same time.

Is it just me or did the colors change rather quickly? Personally, I love everything about autumn in northern Michigan. The dreary rainy days give the perfect back drop to the changing colorful trees, allowing the red and orange to boldly pop. The crisp air makes me thirsty for apple cider and I have a longing to walk around a corn maze. Perhaps I’ll carve a pumpkin. We’re all scrambling to get our last outdoor activities in before winter hits. The days are getting shorter and mildly cooler. The shift in temperature has all thinking about layers and thick sweaters, making it a perfect time to bring in your gently loved winter apparel.

We’re officially taking kid’s, men’s and women’s winter wear/accessories.

If you’re currently looking to add to your fall/winter wardrobe, we are stocked to the brim with cashmere and wool sweaters. We all know winter’s going to be cold, but you can still keep warm with these fashionable picks.

We’re also looking for furniture and fall/winter home décor.

If you have furniture that you’d like to consign, please remember to shoot us an email with pictures and dimensions. You can email us through the contact app on the bottom right hand corner. We can’t wait to hear from you.

The store has been so busy! Which is great, but that also means we’re on the look out for more wonderful things to sell. If you’ve recently cleaned out your closet or know you have items you no longer use, please contact us to set up an appointment to bring in your items. We’ll be happy to turn your gently used items into cash.

We’re currently looking for the following items:

• Furniture
• Home Decor
• Kid’s clothing and accessories
• Men’s clothing and accessories

This way we will be able to instruct when the best time is to bring it in and if we have space for it. We don’t want you to haul it in and us not be able to take it. Let us save you a trip by sending us an email.

FURNITURE IS MOVING QUICKLY: If you have furniture you’d like to sell please contact us today.

Season change is coming soon to Northern Michigan. We know there is still some hot weather left, but in the next months things will start to cool down. In preparation of this, we’re only taking transitional clothing now.

Transitional clothing is the in-between clothing is great for staying cool and warm when you want. When I think transitional, I think layers. So bring us in the light layers such as cardigans and 3/4 sleeve shirts. If you have light crew neck sweatshirts or light sweaters, those can be perfect pieces to a transitional outfit.

Here are some transitional clothing outfit ideas for you to bring in or to shop. Flowing loose linen clothes are always a stylish and breathable transitional pieces. Fashion hack: make solid outfits pop with fun/funky purses.

Light sweaters are a closet must have. They’re perfect for dressing up or down.

Think about layering pieces. If you have pieces of clothing that layer nicely you no longer use, bring them in.

The Roost is buzzing about summer. We’re some buzzy bees with all our sales and inventory coming in. Items are flying off the shelf! Come on in, you don’t want to miss these deals. If you’re looking to consign hot sells are, cottage décor, wicker furniture and anything with cherries on it.

Check out our picture gallery to help inspire you on what to consign or what’s currently trendy to buy. At the Roost staying trendy doesn’t have to hurt your wallet. You can shop guilt free, love it, consign when you’re done and repeat the whole process over. That’s my favorite thing about the Roost.

The Kid’s Roost is opening on July 1st. We still need to fill the store, so please schedule an appointment to bring in your gently used children’s clothes, accessories, and toys.

Shopping summer hack: spend less money and spend more time at the beach.

Every day is a beach day in Leelanau county. What’s your summer color scheme? What’s your must haves you take to the beach? You might just find them here! My favorite find at the Roost in the summer is Chaco sandals and summer bags. The best thing about shopping consignment is vintage finds. Throw backs aren’t just for Thursdays and your vintage finds will look just as good as when they were brand-new. Remember reusing is never out of style.

Beach days are for the whole family. Spend less time shopping and more time at the beach. We’re your one stop shop for the whole family. We’re opening the Kid’s Roost this July 1st. We’re excited to be carrying clothing, accessories, and décor for the whole family. You’ll find the brand names you love for the fraction of the price.
