Barely Used Consignments Relocates to Bigger Space

The Bel Air shop now has an event room and offers a wide variety of classes and activities.

Barely Used Consignments in Bel Air recently relocated to a bigger space and is bringing along a wide variety of entertainment for area residents.

After 22 years at 12 North Main St., Barely Used Consignments moved up a few storefronts to 8 North Main St. on Oct. 1. Owner Tianna VanSpriell said the shop was seeking more room.

“We were busting at that seems, that was one of the reasons,” VanSpriell said. “We just needed a bigger space.”

Not only did Barely Used Consignments need a bigger location for its merchandise, but VanSpriell said she also wanted more space for entertainment. The shop now has an event room, which VanSpriell said would house multiple different activities.

“We offer a variety of classes. We have art classes for adults and children; we have jewelry making classes and free events for kids,” VanSpriell said.

Some of the classes are already underway, and more are in the works. On Saturday, during the trick-or-treating festivities in downtown Bel Air, Barely Used Consignments will have a bag-decorating event. Kids can stop by to decorate a “Boo Bag” then fill it up with candy from area businesses.

VanSpriell said one of the main reasons she wanted to expand was so Barely Used Consignments could contribute to the growing art scene in downtown Bel Air. The shop’s entertainment room features a rotation of local artwork, and the business will soon have live music and poetry slams.

“I wanted to highlight the art community, and have a place for them,” VanSpriell said. “I really wanted it to be an interactive space with a lot of community gatherers and involvement. “
