Kicking Off the Summer Season

The Clothesline is ready for Summer!  There are two ways to get clothing this season.  (1) You can make an appointment to shop in the store directly.  We ask that you wear a mask while shopping. or (2) Make an on-line order request.  We will pack the clothes for you from our inventory based on your feedback on your kids’ preferences.  When the clothes are ready, we will contact you for pick-up.  If the appointment book is full, an on-line request may be the quicker option.
