Consigning with The Stanley Family Lodge
If you are interested in consigning with us, the first step is to show us what you've got. Send an email to:
consignment@thestanleyfamilylodge.com
with your name, company name (if applicable), and a brief
description and JPEG image of what you would like to share with us. If you have a website with images of your products, feel free to include the url's for your merchandise instead of attatching photos.
If your merchandise is accepted, we will notify you promptly and you will be sent a contract that will outline the details of the consignment and where to ship your items. We consign at a 60/40 split. When an item that you have on consignment is sold, you will receive sixty percent of the sale price and we will receive forty percent. All payments are distributed on a monthly basis.
What We Are Looking For
We want to maintain a selection of high quality, affordable, environmentally responsible goods. Whether the items make use of recycled goods, are vegan friendly, or made from organic and sustainable materials, we want our customers to shop guilt-free and to feel confident that they are being responsible consumers. To get a better feel for the shop, these are some of the items that we are looking to carry:
- clothing and accessories constructed from organic/reclaimed/vintage materials
- organic and sweatshop free cotton screen-printed t's
- home goods constructed from organic/reclaimed/vintage materials
- vegan friendly bath & body goods
- organic and vegan friendly pet goods
- recycled and handmade paper products
- jewelry constructed of reclaimed/vintage findings
- vintage ephemera and craft supplies
- knit goods constructed from reclaimed and/or handspun yarn
- zines on veganism/vegeterianism/DIY ethic/environmentally & socially conscious issues
- artwork and prints making use of recycled paper/materials and natural inks
- and much more!
What We Are NOT Looking For
We will not consider items that make use of animals in any way. We will not accept items that make use of new plastics and toxic glues. We will not accept items that make use of new paper goods. Only recycled paper! We will not accept items that are not recyclable.

Handspun yarn is fabulous and worth the extra money. I've had Midnightandlulu's yarn, and it's just superb and fun to look at. I didn't have any trouble knitting with it anymore than any other yarn (less than some, actually).

hey there! i moved this to share a craft, hopefully to garner more responses...
i bought some handspun yarn on cutxpaste not too long ago, which i haven't knitted up yet but it looks beatiful just sitting as a skein! i wish i could remember at the moment the "partner in craft" who made it... darn! but anyway, i recommend it highly mostly because of it's unique texture. it could make even the simplest (messiest) of stitches (like mine) look well-done and unique!

Handspun yarn can be used like regular yarn. Sometimes people add bits of tulle and stuff, and that's trickier to use, I'm sure (I can't knit yet, so this is all just an uninformed opinion).
It's just wool that's spun by hand into yarn, and it can be dyed and have all sorts of fancy things done to it. Offhand, misshawklet and My Paper Crane make pretty, pretty yarn. Oh, and there's more beautiful handspun goodness at Midnight and Lulu. Prettiness.
