Small, who has a background in retail and office work, wanted to re- main in Seaforth during her workday and so she jumped at the opportuni- ty to take over the consignment store from former owner Karen DelVec- chio, who had run the business since 2004. Small took over on Dec. 1, but she wants customers to know that she won't be changing much about Sal- ly's Closet. "They can expect business as usu- al," she says, adding that just about the only thing she plans to alter about the store is to give it a new paint job. "I'll just be doing some little touches to make it mine." Along with the current merchan- dise that includes clothing, books, jewelry, paintings and furniture, Small says she hopes to begin selling some of her antique collection soon. Small also says she's counting on her husband Warren and daughters Danielle and Jessica to help her run the business. She says having been out of work for a period of time, she knows how hard it can be for some people to af- ford new clothing. "To buy retail clothes, it can be ex- pensive," Small says. "There has to be other options." The store's racks of clothing, which include jackets, pants, shirts and gloves, all come from members of the community. Small says she will ensure that all articles of gently -used clothing are clean and steamed before being sold. Anyone wanting to bring in clothes or household items to. Sally's Closet can only do so by appointment, by phoning 519-527-0550.

Small says along with consignment items, she'll be vis- iting auctions and yard sales to add to her store's merchan- dise.
