News from The Arc Emporium

 

 

 

The Arc Emporium is a thrift store and consignment shop located in the heart of the antique district in Putnam, on Main Street.  It sells lightly used second hand men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing and accessories along with furniture, housewares, books, shoes, children’s toys, and jewelry.  Several of the clothing items are high end garments from Ann Taylor, Coldwater Creek, Calvin Klein, and many others.  The clothing and other second hand donated items are checked thoroughly for quality assurance. There are also some furniture items that have been craftily refurbished by our Artisans such as dressers, rocking chairs, kitchen tables and chairs, end tables, etc.  

 

                                    

 

The Arc Emporium also features consignment food and craft items from local vendors.  If you are looking for delicious barbeque sauces check out our supply of sauces from Norm’s Best.  Maple sugar candies and syrup are on display from Fabyan Sugar Shack.  Locally produced honey can be purchased in the store from Holy Family Honey.  Irresistible seasonal chocolate lollipops, covered Oreos, and pretzels from the Chocolate Rose are also for sale.  Pet accessories, such as seasonal and stylish pet clothing from Pet Spot are available along with beautiful, handmade jewelry for that special someone from Sharon Bein Originals.  We also feature seasonal and non-seasonal craft items, the ever popular Schleich figurines, and decorative flags.
