DEAR SUN SPOTS: Do you know if there is a consignment shop in the Lewiston-Auburn area? We would like to slowly downsize and that would be a great way to do it. — No name, Lewiston

ANSWER: A few local options for clothing are Juliet’s Clothing, 120 Center St. in Auburn, and The Once More Store, 1480 Lisbon St. in Lewiston.

For other household items, you could rent space at a local flea market, such as the Riverside Flea Market, a roadside market at 184 Lisbon St. in Lisbon. For more information, call 207-353-2420.

There are also many “indoor yard sales” in the community where you can rent a table and sell your items. Check Sun Spots and the Community Calendar for upcoming sales.

If anyone has had success consigning their items and have a place to recommend, please let Sun Spots know.
