Barbara Garden Consignments shop in the upper mall at Town Center in Lake Forest Park is a wonderful place. Located next to the Lake Forest Park Bar and Grill on the upper mall, Barbara Kinney has been in the Towne Center mall for five years and recently moved from the lower mall to her new location.

She features handcrafted vintage and new items. Many of her new items are made by local craftsmen although she does have crafts from around the world.

Barbara makes her own silk flower arrangements to order. 

She carries handcrafted hats, scarves, dog sweaters, cat toys, and purses. There is a large selection of books by local authors.

Vintage wedding gowns of silk and lace fill the racks, along with dresses for the rest of the wedding party, including the baby.

A 1910 Silvertone Victrola with records in mint condition is priced at $599.99. She has a large selection of jewelry for sale. 

Tea, anyone?

Reflecting her varied tastes, she also sells scrapbooking materials and for a fee will even do the scrapbooking for you.

The shop is a field trip into history, full of treasures waiting to be discovered.
