Apple of My Eye
Written and Photographed by Nancy Clover
I have a magic closet – I put brown paper shopping bags in it, and they replicate themselves. When I heard the store, Apple of My Eye was requesting donations of paper bags, I opened my magic closet and out poured an avalanche of bags. I quickly shoveled them into a pile and off I went to Franklin Street.
Apple of My Eye is a children’s and maternity consignment shop. They are devoted to reusing and recycling.
The small shop is jam packed with clothing, toys, books, shoes and more. They carry quality secondhand maternity/nursing apparel, children's clothing from newborn to children size 10, as well as baby gear and goods.
I was there on the Saturday before Easter, and it was busy with holiday outfits being purchased.
The store is owned by Ranee – she was an employee of the store for about 8 years and bought it in 2022.
Apple of My Eye is a intriguing place; if you need gently used children’s clothing or maternity items, I suggest you check them out.
If you have a magic closet bursting with paper shopping bags – bring them to the store, they will be grateful.
