Good Stuff in TEC: Florida


Resale shop for a good cause

Whether it's traditional jewelry, fine china or collectible soft drink bottles with the beverage still inside, the St. Edward's French Boutique offers both antique and modern items at fair prices.

Located behind St. Edward's Episcopal Church, the boutique features upscale items donated for resale for interested collectors or someone looking to redecorate their home, said church senior warden Sandy Morgan.

"Whether people are looking for colorful jewelry or something to place in their kitchen, it's literally an assortment of valuable and semi-valuable items for them to choose from," Morgan said.

Church parishioners and local residents donated all of the items for sale in the boutique, she said. Even local antique stores and businesses drop off items from their larger shipments.

The church is looking at the boutique to house items that are both precious and valuable to someone.

"All of the items here are too good to throw out or give away," she said. "We want to know that everything available here will find a good home somewhere and not be destroyed. The right person has to want it."

Sale proceeds from the boutique fund the church's outreach programs.
