Ashley Speir
Sweet Dreams Mattress Co.
Ashley has been in the mattress industry about
nine years with the Simmons Bedding Company.
She opened her own business in July of 2008 at
Commerce Crossing.
At Sweet Dreams Mattress, you do not have
to settle for another bad night's sleep due to a
worn out mattress. We offer new, factory
warranted products at true value. We also offer
furniture for up to 50% off retail prices.
These days the state of our economic system may look bleak, but I choose not to be moved
by what I see. I trust Cod and not the economy. I believe that business should still be
conducted with honesty and integrity and when you truly care about your customers, they
know it.

Fabulous Finds, Inc.
Fabulous Finds Consignment Super Store was opened in
August 2008 after combining two existing consignment
stores, Saks Thrift Ave. and Fabulous Finds Consignment
Home Furnishings, Decor & More. Seeing a need to provide
individuals with opportunities to sell brand name clothing,
accessories, furniture, and decor under one roof, Cindy Autry,
Carol Baxter and Valerie Aiello combined forces to bring the
consignment superstore concept to Commerce. Conveniently
located just off 1-85 at Exit 149 in the shops of Commerce
Crossing, we provide an exciting atmosphere for the bargain
hunter, as well as, an easy way for the average person to turn
no longer wanted items into cash!
Receiving consignment items on a daily basis keeps our
prices very competitive, therefore providing a rapid turnover
of merchandise. Some of the smartest bargain shoppers come
in at least once a week in fear of missing out on a unique
piece. We have heard our regular customers tell our new
customers, "If you see something you like, you better buy it
now. It won't be here when you come back!"
Called the "NEW" happiest place on earth, we attribute our
success to providing a friendly shopping alternative during
these tough economic times. Come in and check us out. We
love meeting new people and making new friends!

Ronda decidedafter 22 years in a successful
insurance career, it was time to fulfill her dream of
owning her own business. Realizing her love of
books and a real need in the area for a bookstore,
she decided a used bookstore was exactly what
she wanted to do. March 8 will be her one year
anniversary at Bookstand of NE GA.
We are doing very well and are excited about how
well we have been received by the community.
Our motto is "helping avid readers feed their
reading habit affordably." We have over 30,000
books of all kinds and for all ages. Inventory is
constantly growing and changing. When
customers come in, they will find a bright, clean
store with a special emphasis on shelf
organization making looking for books fun, easy
and relaxing. We offer books, DVDs, and audio
books. Customers can trade books, DVDs or audio
books for trade credit and pay even less than our
already low prices. Trade credit never expires. You
can find our trade policy on our website at
www.bookstandofnega.com. Customers find the
idea very appealing of trading books they have
already read for books they haven't read. With the
high costs of new books, you can't beat the trade
concept. Trading books keeps our inventory fresh.
We also have a section dedicated to local authors.

Vivian Martin has owned her own store, Vintage
Blessings Antiques, for five years. Prior to that, she
had booths in several antique malls in Northeast
Georgia.
Vintage Blessings maintains a "wish list" for the
customers and dealers. We try to be "proactive" in
trying to help customers. Letting our customers
know we care, always keeps them checking back
with us.
Vivian really enjoys working with her dealers and
customers. After 20 years of collecting antiques, one
of her favorite things is finding unique items. Most
of all, she really believes in creating memories one
customer at a time.

Kelly has been successful since she opened Bullfrogs &
Butterflies on Oct. 1, 2008 because she truly LOVES what
she does!
The consignment business is special for many reasons.
Consignment in this economy is so important and a great
opportunity to help parents recoup money spent on their
children. It also helps parents spend less on the things their
children need. Children grow out of their clothes, toys and
gear so quickly that consigning these items just makes sense.
Consignment is parents helping parents and I feel very
blessed to be a part of that.
