Hanna's is the saddest consignment shop I've visited so far. Here's how sad it is: I've driven by it a bunch of times, but forgot all about it until I pulled into the strip mall parking lot to visit the nearby pawn shop. The store's location is miserable for foot traffic, and it doesn't seem like anyone ever makes a beeline for Hanna's.
It's even worse than the Salvation Army location up the street. Just because something is old doesn't mean it's vintage. Most of the shoes and bags I saw were of poor quality. I didn't even have to touch the racks of clothing, as I could tell from far enough away that they were full of Briggs pants that I used to sell at Strawbridge's.
I assume the elderly lady sitting by the front door was the shop owner, and she looked very friendly. But she didn't look as if she would have any idea what a blog was, so I decided not to try talking to her about the shop. I took a courtesy look around and hustled out of there. I hate when a shop disappoints me, and I wish there was some hope for this one.
