Infant and children's consignment store opens in Jackson

Thursday, October 30, 2008

Misty Spencer calls herself a thrifty shopper. As the mother of six-month and 17-month old children, Spencer understands the value of finding deals on kids' clothing.

That interest in buying the best priced, quality clothing has turned into a business for Spencer and her husband, Dean. On Monday the couple opened Lil Pea Patch, an infant and children's recycled clothing store. Located at 3860 East Jackson Blvd., the consignment business also sells strollers, baby swings, car seats, bouncy seats and walkers.

Lil Pea Patch is open 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. The store's phone number is 243-6600.

"I'm very excited to be opening a store that I began dreaming about a year ago," Spencer said. "It's hard to put into words what this means."
