Three women left Fabulous Findz with their treasures and their promise to return. Their presence reminded me of the joys of shopping with a good friend who laughs, encourages, cajoles and compliments.

These women, having enjoyed a hight tea at Crumpets Tea Room admired their reflections as they tried on vintage hats, coats and jackets. They fingered the antique baubles while carrying on a running dialogue and friendly bantor.

Shopping is surely fun at Fabulous Findz!

Andover resident, Judith Quarrington, recently acquired ownership of Fabulous Findz Trading Company, a quality consignment shop and Thrift Store in North Andover, Massachusetts.

Quarrington combines her love of collectibles, an eye for the unusual and her business acumen to offer a unique array of vintage clothing, apparel, accessories, antiques, furniture, costumes, art and more. “I search for the right treasures to meet the wide variety of my customer’s needs,” said Quarrington. “If clients don’t immediately find what they want, I can seek it out through my many and varied vendors.”

Originally from Massachusetts, Quarrington returned to the Northeast after working as teacher, school administrator and real estate agent in Arizona for the past 15 years. She previously owned a successful jewelry shop in Sedona, Arizona and is no stranger to the retail business.

A former educator, Quarrington offers a 10% discount to anyone in the teaching field. “I taught for many years and understand the value of teachers to their community,” said Quarrington. “I want to offer teachers a discount to acknowledge their significant and often unacknowledged contribution to society.”

Fabulous Findz is a bright, colorful shop, outfitted with recycled fixtures. The store offers a wide variety of eclectic recycled, treasures. Quarrington is supportive of local artists and craftspeople and plans to host artisan exhibitions and events throughout the year.

Most items in the store are pre-owned and hand selected by Quarrington to assure its fine quality. Quarrington buys from local vendors, and individuals and consigns with many. She encourages everyone to search their attics, closets, garages and basements to turn unused or no longer wanted items into cash for oneself and treasures for others.
