A NEW BRAND

We have exciting information about our events.  We have acquired a new seasonal sale that's a children's clothing consignment sale.  So we have expanded our company and changed our name to include all of our events.  Our new company name is The Consignment Connection, with the subdivisions of Crafters Exchange and Kids Clothing Exchange.  We will no longer be updating this blog, as we have a new website that houses complete details and information for both sales.  You can find information about both of these event types at www.theconsignmentconnection.com.  On the website, you will see a link to subscribe to our emails, and there are also links so you can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

We look forward to seeing you all at both of our sales events.  Check the website for our upcoming fall Kids Clothing Exchange, which is happening at the end of September!

Registration is open for our Spring 2022 sale.  You can register on our website at www.crafters-exchange.com.

 SPRING 2021 SALE

 

Since we had to cancel the 2020 sale due to COVID, we are happy to announce our 2021 sale will be happening in April.

Our spring 2021 sale will be held April 15th - 17th at the Lane Agri-Park Community Center, 315 John R. Rice Blvd, Murfreesboro, TN 37129.

It is free to shop and open to the public.  Shopping hours are as follows.

Thursday, April 15th - 9:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.

Friday, April 16th - 9:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.

Saturday, April 17th - 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. - HALF-PRICE DAY

We will have COVID precautions put in place.  In order to help keep our volunteers and other shoppers safe, we require shoppers to wear masks.  You must also bring your own reuseable bag or cart to use to carry your items in while you shop and to carry your items home in.  We will not have shopping bags for you to use while shopping.

We will be doing a food drive and donating to the MTSU Student Food Pantry.  Bring canned items with you to drop off at the sale and donate to this year's charity drive.  Anyone who brings items for the student food pantry will be entered into a door prize drawing for a dinner for two at Chuy's restaurant.  You can find the list of items needed at the food pantry on their website.

It has been a long time since we've seen our crafters.  We look forward to seeing you at the upcoming sale.

5TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY!

2018 SPRING SALE

We wanted to let you know that we are actively searching for a venue to hold a spring 2018 Crafters' Exchange sale.  We are so sorry that we weren't able to do a sale in 2017, but there were just too many obstacles in our way this year.  We are looking forward to seeing you in 2018.  Check our website to see updates, or follow our Facebook page to get details of our next event.

CANCELATION OF SPRING 2017 SALE

As of this time, the 2017 spring crafter's sale that was scheduled for May has been canceled.  We will update this blog when we decide to schedule and coordinate another Crafters' Exchange.  If you would be interested in helping to plan and coordinate another crafter's sale, please contact us and let us know.

SPRING 2017 CONSIGNMENT SALE IS SET!

We are excited to announce that we have the dates set for our next crafters' consignment sale.  It will be held at the same location as this year, the Lane Agri-Park Community Center.  The sale dates are May 11th-13th, 2017.  Mark your calendar so you can get some great bargains again next year!

TENNESSEE FISHER HOUSE

I had a great experience yesterday visiting the Tennessee Fisher House.  I was able to tour the house and gathered some great information about services and amenities that veterans' families get while staying there.  It is an awesome place.  If you have the chance, check it out.  There are several ways that you can help the Fisher House.  They have a wish list of items they need on their website, you can donate monetarily, or by volunteering your time.  Groups go to the house and cook for families that are staying there each week.  I personally love that idea.  Be sure and check it out.  It's a fantastic facility.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

We need volunteers for our spring 2016 sale!  We especially need help Tuesday and Wednesday, May 10th and 11th, to help get everything out of boxes and set up and organized on the tables, and also on Saturday, May 14th, to help box everything up when the sale is over.

If you have just an hour or two to spare, contact us and let us know you can help out at the event.  Any amount of work you can do will be greatly appreciated.

THE TENNESSEE FISHER HOUSE

FUNDRAISER 

Information on our fundraiser for our 2016 Spring Sale has been updated under the "Charity Information" tab on our blog.  We will be donating to The Fisher House in Murfreesboro, TN.  Check out their wish list items, and drop them off with us when you come shop.
