It was always Jacquelynn Josey Lewis’ dream to own a consignment shop.

“I was selling clothes and other things on E-Bay and doing yard sales,” she said. “I’ve been trying to do it at home for 10 years. I decided it was time. My husband and kids told me to go for it.”

Josey-Lewis, who lives in North Augusta and works at the Trenton Correctional Institution with youthful offenders, will retire from her regular job in seven years.

“I’ve always said I’d like to have a business up and running before I retire,” she said.
That dream became a reality the first week in June when Josey-Lewis opened Closetnews Consignment Resale at 206 Buncombe Street in Edgefield (formerly occupied by Glass Images).
