“My partner, Bonnie Lash and I opened the store in 2009 to take advantage of the downed economy,” said Co-Owner Mary Barber.

“We take gently used clothing that has been well cared for,” Barber said. “We will accept Banana Republic or better and our clothing is changed out completely every 60 days, but new items arrive weekly.”

“In addition to clothing, Lemon Tree carries handcrafted gifts made by local artisans,“ their website reads. “The contemporary jewelry, decoupage frames and boxes, sentimental pottery works, and hand-knitted goods will remind you of how gift giving is supposed to feel.”
