Hello Everyone,  
 
I was wondering if there are any local stores in Brandon or within an hour of Brandon that take items on consignment?  
 
Now, I knit and crochet great quality items, so I'm looking for places that might sell things such as bags, hats, scarves,shawls, cleaning products, baby items, clothing, etc.  
 
I am just looking to possibly try out the local markets first before having to go to the big corporate online websites to open up an online shop with a smaller chance of success, even if minuscule.  
 
I have just found recently that the trade show market has been slow in my area of craft(knitting) and over flooded with many who do the same thing, and the local online garage sale groups or swap and shops are more for the bargain hunters and my items are reduced to way below value from what they are worth.  
 
I wanted to dabble into the possibility of consignment shops here as a trial to see if maybe the items just need to be displayed in a more professional shop setting than the online options and trade/craft show option.  
 
Any advice or ideas as to what stores might be interested in doing a trial run or possibly be interested in taking on some hand knits would be appreciated!  
 
Thanks in advance for the help!

I just read a story in the Journal about Abbey Rose. They do some consignment, perhaps you should talk to the new owner.

Check Timeless Treasures in Souris, they might

Also takes consignment product for her giftshop!  
Give her a call and see if shes interested, shes always looking for new product!
