Upscale Resale Popular in Slow Economy in Mpls St Paul magazine – an article by Stephani Bloomquist featuring some of her favorite resale shops in town – including JUNE.

Melissa Colgan included JUNE in her fabulous Mpls St Paul ‘Shops‘ Fall Shopping guide on pages 59 and 107. This is THE guide to shopping in the metro area!

Minnesota Monthly voted JUNE ‘Best Vintage’ in their September ‘Best of the Cities‘ issue. That local mags are taking the time to honor and promote small businesses is a great thing. And I appreciate the recognition so very much – but… JUNE isn’t vintage. There are a lot of amazing vintage shops in town and I’m sure any one of them really deserved this.

And, last but far from least, stylist Jane Belfry is profiled in Metro Magazine by Mary O’Regan. She’s got some pretty nice things to say about JUNE.

june will be closed August 3-7 for summer holiday!

She walked in, it matched her outfit – and it was hers!

Stop in to see what hard-to-find treasures could be yours!
