Once upon a time, Verona shoppers found their holiday bargains at the Service League shop at the western end of Bloomfield Avenue. Service League is gone, but Verona resident Pat Kiernan, who was a volunteer there, keeps the spirit alive at Willing Hearts, which is located at the far end of Bloomfield Avenue in Caldwell, almost opposite the Ace Hardware Store. (Full disclosure: My mom is a volunteer there, too, two days a week and she says there are lots of buys now in coats, jewelry and handbags.)
A local news Web site in Caldwell did a video on the consignment and antique store options in that town and Mrs. Kiernan gives a tour of Willing Hearts in the opening minutes. Give a look.
