Do you like finding treasures at great prices? 

If you do you should make a trip to Howell, Michigan and check out two great consignment stores, La Boutique and The Alley Side Consignment Store.  

Both stores offer a variety or miscellaneous items in addition to name brand clothing. 

It is exciting every time I go into the store because I never know what I'm going to find....but what ever it is, it's just the right item! 

 

Howell offers other great stores in the downtown area, it's definitely worth the trip!

Savor a specality coffee at Uptown Coffee, try one of the delicious burgers from Mr B's Rustic Tavern, vist the Heart of Michigan store--where everything they carry is Michigan made, pick up a bottle of wine from Howell's Main Street Winery,  make a unique piece of jewelry at the Bead Gallery,  have a bra fitting at  Sunny J’s Lingerie & Leisure--they carry the best selection of hard to fit bra sizes,  enjoy looking through the selection of toys at Razzmatazz Toys and so many other speciality shops in the historic downtown area of Howell, MI.....oh by the way don't forget we have the Tanger Outlet Mall.
