DIANE ERSKIN and daughter ANNA WILLIAMS have opened Here WeAr Again consignment and resale shop, located at 1004 S. Washington St. in Delphi, at the top of the Washington St. hill. The shop is intended to bridge the shopping gap between new clothing and Goodwill, according to the owners. The clothes are "gently used," and some items still have store tags on them, co-owner Williams said.

The store is the brainchild of Erskin, who has six children.

"Mom had lots of clothes with all of us k i d s , " Wi l l i a m s said. "She always said she had enough clothes to open a re-sale shop!"

Store hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays. Consignments and donations are accepted during store hours.

The family is active in the Delphi United Methodist Church and intends to support church mission trips with donated items which do not sell.

According to Williams, "It's about making do for less."
