The A.T. Stewart Exchange Consignment Shop

Enjoy some fine wines at the A.T. Stewart Consignment Shop’s Sip and Shop event on July 20th.

I’m very excited to announce something I’ve wanted to do for a long time; our first ever “Sip & Shop” Wine Tasting.  Wednesday, July 20th 4  – 7 pm.  The Tasting is being curated by Total Wines (of Westbury).  The $10 Admission fee entitles you to wine (of course) and light refreshments, and as the second part of the name implies, late afternoon shopping!  The A.T. Stewart Exchange will remain open until 7:00.  Bring a friend – or two!  Space is limited to 50 people so purchase your tickets in advance, either in the Shop, or pay by credit card over the phone.  You can also participate in our “Cork Pull” raffle.  Everyone who purchases a cork, is guaranteed to win a bottle of wine.  It really is true what they say … “you gotta be in it to win it.”

I want to take this opportunity to thank all who helped to make Cornelia’s “Christmas in June” Courtyard Sale a success!  Though it was extremely windy, many of you came out.  Hopefully, you got some pretty great finds – and had some fun too!  The success of this event is due in large part to the efforts of all the wonderful people who volunteered.  So I say thank you to them as well!

And a huge thank you to all who dropped off food donations for our Food Drive for The INN.  I think this was our most successful one yet.  If you missed it, don’t worry.  We WILL be doing another one.

Remember:  we’re here for you six days a week.  We are open on Mondays!  And, for those of you who work, we continue to stay open late on Wednesdays until 6:00pm, through the end of July.  It’s a great chance to shop in peace and quiet.  We get newly consigned merchandise almost every day!   And we sell new merchandise – especially gift items – bought through the NY Gift Show. Therefore, I prefer to think of our shop as a Gift and Resale Shop.  If you can’t make it in right away, please shop online at www.atstewartexchange.org and pick up your purchases at the Exchange. We also post photos on the AT Stewart Exchange Facebook and Instagram pages.

Unfamiliar with the Exchange Consignment Shop? We are housed in The Garden City Historical Society (TGCHS) Museum on 109 Eleventh Street (in the basement of the building). All the proceeds from the Shop sales directly benefit TGCHS. In addition to our best sellers – jewelry (costume and fine), lamps, mirrors, and crystal (Waterford, Baccarat, Tiffany) — we take/accept silver, pocketbooks, china, furniture, artwork, and collectibles. All items are in new or nearly new condition.

We accept consignments Wednesday through Friday 11:00am – 2:00pm by appointment ONLY.  This is done to safeguard customers, consignors, and volunteers.  Having appointments helps to keep down the numbers of people in the Shop and reduces wait-times to consign.  Please call (516)746-8900 to set up an appointment.  Unsure if your items are appropriate to consign?  Email photos to store@ atstewartexchange.org and be sure to include sizing info.  You will generally receive a response the same day.

Remember:  all the profits from the Consignment Shop support the maintenance and upkeep of TGCHS Museum. Thanks to your generous support, work on the outside of the Museum continues.

The shop is located at 109 Eleventh Street. Shop hours: Monday – Friday 10 am – 4 pm; Wednesday til 6:00pm; Saturday noon – 4 pm. For more information please call (516) 746-8900.
