Ladies’ Day Out: Resale + Sparkle
Tour Overview
Join Custom Holidays founder Sue Biggs for a day she personally planned around one of her favorite pastimes: discovering a great find! Ladies’ Day Out: Resale + Sparkle combines upscale resale, hidden gems, unique treasures, a little jewelry education, and plenty of fun along the way.
So, what's the twist? Before our resale treasure hunting begins, we're adding a little sparkle to the day with an exclusive experience at Motif Jewelers in Southgate. Learn about the differences between lab-grown and mined diamonds, what to look for when purchasing diamond jewelry, discover the story behind Shinola watches, and browse Motif's beautiful collection of estate jewelry.
Every guest will also receive a special keepsake from the day: a sterling silver Michigan state charm with matching chain.
Plus, the first 10 guests to register for the optional gold and silver buying opportunity may bring up to five items to Motif for evaluation and possible purchase. Have an old piece of jewelry tucked away that you've always wondered about? This is your chance to find out what it may be worth.*
Then we're off to Howell and Brighton for the thrill of the hunt! Browse La Boutique & The Garment District for upscale resale fashions, accessories and one-of-a-kind finds before visiting LACASA Collection, where your shopping supports a wonderful local organization. Keep an eye out for jewelry, handbags, home goods, stylish finds and unexpected treasures along the way.
We'll take a break from treasure hunting for lunch at Aubree's Pizza & Grill, with time to relax, visit with friends and recharge before our afternoon shopping.
Our final stop is Trading Closets in Brighton, an upscale resale destination filled with carefully selected fashions, accessories, home goods and special finds, with a sweet treat to round out our day.
Come along with Sue for a fun day of hidden gems, stylish finds, jewelry, resale treasures and the thrill of discovering something unexpected!
*Gold and silver buying is limited to the first 10 guests who register for this optional opportunity. Each participant may bring up to five items for evaluation and possible purchase.
