You Never Know What You Will Find...

We live in a small midwestern town so you would expect to find lots of country type items in a consignment shop in such a town (and we do have those items) but you might be surprised to learn what else you can find in our shop.



A Japanese Wedding Kimono



African Art



Grecian Bust


You just never know what will turn up!  Keep an open mind and you will be amazed at what you can find.


Opening Day

Opening Day has arrived!  The day we have been working towards is finally here!  We couldn't be more excited.  Many people have been stopping by to wish us the best of luck.

We're Open!

                                     This is a great business to be in.  We are happy to be here!

Sign Installation Day

If you have ever opened a business or started a new adventure of any sort, you are probably well acquainted with all of the decisions that need to be made.  And, if you are interested in making your money go as far as it can then you probably understand the conversations that are a result of the process of "Can I do it myself? Do I know someone who could do it for me?  Should I have it hired out?"
In the never ending, always exciting quest to save money we decided that when it came to installing our beautiful Crossroads sign, sure, we could hang it.  I mean how hard could it be?

Then, after coming to our senses, we realized that maybe it would be better if someone else hung it.  Someone with some power tool experience-like our family members.

Then, in considering that our family members may have had power tool experience but power tool experience on a ladder was a completely different scenario.

In the end, we decided to have it professionally installed.  And I think it's the best money we've spent so far.  Thanks Haas Signs!

The Versatile Armoire

Who doesn't need more storage?  Sometimes we just need to think about using a piece of furniture in a different way in order for it to meet our changing lifestyle.  Consider the Armoire.

This is a beautiful hand carved teak armoire that was originally used to store clothing.  But what about some other uses?  It would be right at home in the family room for media or game or extra blanket storage.  It can be used as a library or craft storage.  It can house a complete home office.  In your kitchen or dining room, the armoire could store small kitchen appliances or extra sets of dishes or tablecloths, or seasonal items.  It's a great, versatile piece!   

What is Consignment?

The American Heritage Dictionary defines the word consign as "to give over to the care of another; entrust, to turn over to another's charge or control; commit, to deliver merchandise for custody or sale".

At Crossroads, when you drop off your items, you are trusting us to take good care of your items in order for someone else to purchase them.  We strive to create a warm, welcoming environment where others can see your items in their best light.

Now and Then

When we moved from one city to another, we were asked if we were going to keep our "old" name-  Crossroads Consignments.  We decided that yes, we would keep the "old" name because it represented the service part of our business.  People who have items to consign are usually at a crossroads of some sort.  Their lifestyle is changing in some way and our store provides an avenue to faciliate that lifestyle change.  Merging households?  Taking a detour?  Changing lanes?  Come to a fork in the road?  Many times you are facing a home with either too much furniture or not enough.  Crossroads is still the place for you to find great pre-owned furniture and home accessories at great prices.  Then...and now.
