Our Story
Born and raised in Glen Cove, Betsy Gibbs has had careers and a life “Worth Repeating," a name later utilized in her consignment boutique. Betsy possesses an entrepreneurial mindset along with contagious enthusiasm and high energy. Betsy used these admirable traits to open her first retail venture, “The Good Lite Lady” where she applied her skills in design and repair for commercial and residential lighting. Her next venture enabled the home bound to enjoy her personal touch delivering in house manicures and pedicures.
Continuing with her entrepreneurial spirit, Betsy opened up a consignment shop (previously Eileen’s Closet) located in Sea Cliff.
