"Starting a Consignment Shop has been fun, but it's a lot of work!"

Thanks for your interest in my adventure!

It has always been my dream to work for myself by owning a business. Like many others, I was sick of working the daily grind for someone else. As a D.C. Everest graduate, being a part of my hometown and having the opportunity to give back to the local community has also been an important goal. Starting this shop has been a neat experience, but a ton of work.

For a new business, I'm doing pretty well. So far I've been able to make the bills and remain as organized and calm as I possibly can, though it's hard sometimes. With a rotating inventory of others' consignment, it's been challenging to keep on top of things while accepting new consignors and items. To give you a hint, I haven't used my dressing room in weeks!

Don't worry however, with appointments starting November 30th, we'll quickly catch up. I've been learning so much and daily testing my own limits, in the process becoming a stronger person. I hope that you'll join us in celebrating our success and the future progress of a growing company.

I would like to thank everyone who has pitched in and helped me to accomplish my goal. I owe so much to my awesome Landlord who has believed in me and provided resources when I didn't think it was possible. Special thanks to my sister too, who created this website while pursuing her own career in Web Design. I can honestly say without my wonderful husband, family, friends, neighbors, customers, consignors and business associates, my business would not be half as rewarding. Thanks are also due for the City of Rothschild Officials and any other people along the way that supported a large, but positive step in my life. To all of you, my sincerest gratitude and thanks.

Sincerely,
Rebecca J. Olson
Owner and Founder of the Purple Paisley Shirt, LLC.
