Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
The 3Rs are the philosophy of the father/daughter proprietors of The Cosburn.
By us selling pre-loved, quality items and you purchasing them at a bargain price we are together protecting the environment by preventing useful and beautiful items from going into landfills and encouraging a lower carbon footprint.
Many of our items can do multiple duties…a wicker basket can be used as a wastebasket, a planter, or a storage container.
Instead of buying wrapping paper, bags or boxes why not buy a cute tin, basket or wooden box to present your gift?
Why buy new drab mugs or dishware to stock your new kitchen at home, the cottage or your workplace. You can find unique mugs, dishes, bowls and cookware at The Cosburn.
You don’t need to buy plastic office accessories at the Stationery shop – we’ve got you covered…how about using pre-loved mugs to hold your pens, paper clips, rubber bands, and more. We’ve got waste paper baskets made of wicker and unique vintage magazine racks and holders that can double duty for files…
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and we got a lot of beauties!
Tom, Proprietor
Vintage Coca Cola crates can be used for storing magazines, letters, wine bottles… Turn them on their side and they become a cool plant stand or book shelf. You can even use them to store shoes or slippers!
You need a new coffee maker? If you like a bargain you can buy a high quality brand at a fraction of the price at The Cosburn. That way you can spend more on actual coffee. We inspect and test all appliances that we sell.
Going to a house-warming or decorating your new house or apartment? You can find one-of-a-kind home decor items that will give your home charm.
I’m a big fan of used… I’ve never had a new car, bike, or computer in my life. I buy used clothes, shoes, accessories, books, instruments, records, DVDs, dishes and glassware, decorating items, picture frames, furniture and lots more!
Tom’s daughter, co-proprietor
Are you a gardener or know someone who is? The Cosburn carries gardening décor and planters of various types as well as plants grown by the proprietor Tom – who has an amazing green-thumb!
We also have items for the kids! New toys and puzzles can be pricey especially as kids grow and change…Pay a fraction for quality wooden toys and puzzles at The Cosburn.
Come visit us and we’re sure you’ll find items you’ll use and enjoy while saving a ton of money and helping the environment.
