On Harrison Avenue in Garfield, a compact Bergen County city on the Passaic River that grew up around textile and dye mills in the early twentieth century and still carries a dense, working-class street grid from that era, A Little of This and A Little of That Consignment Shoppe runs a straightforward secondhand business out of a single storefront at number 179. The name doubles as an honest description of the model: rather than specializing in one category the way a dedicated furniture consignment shop or a clothing-only resale boutique would, the shop mixes home decor, furniture, and clothing on the same floor, giving a single visit the potential to turn up a lamp, a dresser, and a jacket all in the same afternoon. That kind of general consignment format depends on a steady flow of local sellers bringing in pieces they no longer want, which in turn depends on a shop being embedded in its neighborhood rather than pulling from a wide regional draw, and a small storefront on a residential-adjacent stretch of Harrison Avenue fits that model closely. Garfield itself is one of Bergen County’s smaller, denser cities, wedged between Passaic and Clifton along the river, with a housing stock heavy on multi-family homes and a downtown built for foot traffic rather than big parking lots, and a consignment shop selling furniture and home decor there serves a real practical need: residents furnishing an apartment or downsizing out of one can both use a nearby outlet that buys and sells used furniture without driving to a suburban big-box store. The clothing side of the inventory works the same way, offering an affordable, walkable alternative for anyone in the immediate area who wants secondhand clothing without a special trip across the county. Because it operates as true consignment rather than straight thrift, the shop functions as something of a local exchange, with sellers and buyers overlapping in the same small customer base over time, which tends to keep prices grounded in what a Garfield shopper will actually pay rather than what a suburban antique mall might charge. That local, walk-in character also means the floor changes with whatever residents happen to be clearing out that month, so a piece of furniture or a decor item spotted on one visit may well be gone the next, and regulars tend to check back often rather than treating a single trip as definitive. The shop’s location within a short walk of Garfield’s municipal center and its residential blocks also means word of a fresh consignment drop tends to travel fast by neighborhood word of mouth alone, without needing much in the way of advertising. For anyone in the Passaic River valley section of Bergen County looking to buy or sell secondhand furniture, home decor, or clothing without leaving the immediate area, A Little of This and A Little of That offers a compact, neighborhood-scale answer. Put simply: A Little of This and A Little of That Consignment Shoppe is a general secondhand consignment store on Harrison Avenue in Garfield, New Jersey, selling furniture, home decor, and clothing sourced directly from local sellers in the surrounding Bergen County community.
