Whitty herself worked in the city during the 1980s and it was then that she fell in love with the concept of thrift stores.<br \/>\nShe moved to Lake Luzerne a few years ago. When the opportunity presented itself to start her own thrift shop, she said she knew it was time to take it. <!--more--><br \/>\n\u201cLake Luzerne has been so supportive of me. I began scouting out places and found this spot. I saw the opportunity and just dove in. The people here have just been so great,\u201d said Whitty.<br \/>\nShe said right now she has no other employees, but that may change after the pandemic. She does have a close friend who helps her out both at the store and in choosing the pieces she puts into her shop. They are not a consignment shop, but rather offer store credit to anyone who has an article of clothing or accessory that is acceptable to the owner.<br \/>\nShe said with her background she knows where to go when it comes to finding the right items to fill the store with.<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019m really careful with what I choose. Right now, we have women\u2019s clothing all the way up to size 28. Eventually, I would love to have men\u2019s clothing, small furniture, and housewares,\u201d said Whitty.<br \/>\nWhitty said the pandemic has made things challenging and she is hopeful that the new year will bring welcome changes. She is still working on her website but said encourages anyone interested to check her out on Facebook.<br \/>\n\u201cWe do have some stock of purses, shoes, jewelry, and small houseware items, like bowls, some real special pieces,\u201d said Whitty.<br \/>\nCre\u2019s Closet is located at 12 School St. in Lake Luzerne. They are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday noon to 5 p.m., and Sunday noon to 4 p.m. They are closed on Wednesdays. The phone number is (518) 696-6759.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Jennifer Farnsworth High fashion has come to Lake Luzerne thanks to Cre Whitty, owner of the designer thrift shop Cre\u2019s Closet.
