This week, I received terrific news from Betty Shipley, who owns Fashion Find in Holly Lake. She has opened second shop at 401 East Broadway.

Fashion Find 2 specializes in Women's and Juniors' quality consignment clothing and accessories, new jewelry and new purses, home decor, Jojoba Butter and Avon products.

Fashionable women with a thrifty side will have a ball checking out the store.

Betty also alerted me to the fact that she offers fashion shows free of charge. The last show raised $1,500 for an organization!

This month, she'll be doing a fashion show for MOPS in Winnsboro. Betty said, "So, if you know anyone that needs a fun fundraiser, please pass the word along."

She's off to a great start in her new place. In fact, she said, "I am excited about being in Winnsboro. It is a great community and everyone has been so receptive to the business."
