Raleigh has a flourishing market for handmade goods. The periphery supports a healthy craft economy through staples like the farmers market and flea markets across the city. Downtown, throughout the year, we see craft bazaars that pop up for a Saturday with a mix of designers and then dissipate until the next time. This Saturday brings The Rock & Shop Market.
Now that green is the new black and people are recycling jeans to make into building insulation, why not combine the concept of fashion and green design into one big bonanza?

According to the owners and this craigslist posting, Stuff Consignment is for sale. Or maybe not.
