Visit our website at www.preciousthreadz.com. Even as a 5 year old I realized my passion was for children. At our kindergarten graduation ceremony I stood up in front of my entire class, faculty and parents and announced that "When I grew up, I wanted to be a mommy because I liked to cook, clean and make babies" while most other children announced they wanted to be an astronaut, scientist or president.

Even as a 5 year old I realized my passion was for children. At our kindergarten graduation ceremony I stood up in front of my entire class, faculty and parents and announced that "When I grew up, I wanted to be a mommy because I liked to cook, clean and make babies" while most other children announced they wanted to be an astronaut, scientist or president. I wouldn't have believed that a five year old could even come up with the statement I did if I had not seen it with my own eyes on a video recording. I was fortunate enough to meet my wonderful husband 5 years ago and welcomed two step sons into my life. This past year we made my dream come true and welcomed our baby girl Alexis Grace Ruby Pineda into this world. There is nothing more in this world that I love than being a mom! So 30 years in the making I have decided to take my passion for children and build on my dream by opening my own store front selling quality used children's clothing, toys, accessories, baby equipment, furniture and more. With raising two healthy boys and an infant in this economy we have relied heavily upon gently used items. Kids grow so fast these days it's hard to justify spending full price on clothes and other items. I have shopped and sold to some stores only to find that the prices to buy some items are great...but the cash value I get for trading in the items is less to be desired. I want to be able to "truly" provide parents or soon to be parents an avenue for them to get fair cash value for their quality used kids' stuff as well as be able to purchase clothing and equipment for their ever-growing kids or expanding families. Precious Threadz will be recognized as the area's local children's store which provides excellent personalized service, fair cash value to our customer's and a wide variety of quality new and gently used products.
