Welcome!

Thanks for visiting my virtual corner of the world. The Robin was inspired by a consignment store that I loved and the wonderful woman whose vision it was. People visited as much for the camaraderie as the inventory. I wish that I could welcome you with a smile and ask about your day, but I do hope you'll stop by often to browse for treasures, like you might a favorite, local thrift shop. You'll find art; housewares and decor; jewelry and accessories; and maybe a few handmade items.

I am passionate about resale. New things have their place, but our world is overflowing with unused used stuff. "Used" tends to have less-than-awesome connotations, but in this space, I hope that it will become synonymous with depth, patina, beauty, quality, practicality, and affordability.

Enjoy!
