We don’t mind spending our summer days ducking into Nashville’s local businesses, escaping the heat and searching for the best Music City has to offer! During the scorching hot days that rolled through last week, we set out on a treasure hunt and did just that. Through our efforts, we discovered priceless brand new and second-hand pieces at some of the city’s most popular consignment, second-hand and discount stores. We admit, the items aren’t actually priceless (some actually have a pretty steep price point) but they are bargain buys from what they originally cost, or cost elsewhere. There’s no end to the one-of-a-kind items you’ll find in these stores. Check them out for yourself to find the treasures that speak to you!
