ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

DONATE:
Has my blog helped in any way? Helped find something•brought more EASE? More exposure or business?
I welcome you to show YOUR appreciation for my efforts!
ANY size DONATION is APPRECIATED!

CONSIGNMENT SHOPS in Costa Rica


Finding used furniture, clothes and things is not an easy task in Costa Rica.  It's almost impossible to find a Consignment Shop in Costa Rica (MANY Tico's tend to just give their things to family members) and IF you were to find one, ESPECIALLY RARE are Consignment Shops that carry household things•furniture.


What is a "Consignment Shop"?

Here are a few Consignment Shops that I have found so far in Costa Rica:

Guanacaste - PLAYA DEL COCO:

Coco Consignment
facebook.com/CocoConsignmentStore
They're an AWESOME Consignment shop with many more upscale things - including FURNITURE!!!

They also host a Weekly
COMMUNITY FERIA•FARMER'S MARKET
(and occasional Garage Sale things.  Most things are new and many are handmade locally)

 facebook.com/CocoSundayMarket
Every SUNDAY - 10am-2pm
(NOT on February 1 because it's their Tope•Horse show)


WHERE:
Turn Right at Lizard Lounge (when headed to beach). 
Drive past Sombras Condo.
Turn into entrance to La Palmas and go to the end of the street and turn Right.
CONTACT:
8-421-1061
(tell them Vicki Connected you!!)
