Ready Trading — Local services in Decatur

I've been telling just about anyone who'll listen, that my new fabulous place to shop is Ready Trading Taos. I spent almost three hours during my first visit and I could've probably stayed another three! I was intoxicated by all of the colors, fabrics and accessories in the store. You've got to give yourself a bunch of time to enjoy the experience. But I have to tell you, that probably the BEST part of Ready Trading Taos is the owner, Lee Pilgrim, and her staff. If you need space to browse? They give you space to browse. If you need a Personal Shopper? You've got it. Okay, so here's the best part for me. I was invited to be a guest artist in their store several weeks ago. They hosted a wine and appetizer, meet and greet, for a late afternoon-evening. As an author of a new memoir, I was grateful to be a guest! Several of their favorite customers and a few of my friends and some new shoppers - gathered for a reading or two from my book, Chancer- How One Good Boy Saved Another. The staff made me feel so special and genuinely welcomed me into their fold. I think they'd do the same for you... You can visit their flagship store on Cheshire Bridge or go to their space at Kudzu Antiques. Just give yourself some time to enjoy the experience. This photo shows my awesome dress and gorgeous infinity scarf. I'm wearing it to all of my upcoming book events and signings. The dress travels well. No ironing needed! I know I'll be back to the store very soon. This time I'll bring my daughter! Reviewed by Donnie...

Ready Trading is hands-down one of the most special places you’ll ever walk into. The moment you step through the door, you’re greeted by the most wonderful group of women — warm, loving, inclusive, and genuinely there to help you feel good and love yourself.

This store is so much more than just a shopping experience — it’s a joyful, soulful journey that brings you right back to your center.

The clothing is breathtaking: natural fibers like 100% linen and cotton, gorgeous block prints, rich textures, and fabrics you won’t find anywhere else. They bring cultures from all over the world together under one roof in a way that feels harmonious and inspiring.

And it doesn’t stop at clothing — their jewelry and accessories are top-notch, all handmade, and many pieces come from talented local artists. Ready Trading goes out of their way to support small businesses and local makers, which makes shopping here feel even more meaningful.

It’s a place full of heart, creativity, and love — a place that reminds you what beauty...

Great clothing and accessories all made from natural fabrics. Just going into the shop to look is a pleasure as all the staff are fun, helpful and knowledgable. Lee really knows how to stock her merchandise. The Open House Evenings are so enjoyable and interesting and it is easy to remember as it is the first Thursday of every month.

Beautiful clothes, great staff and easy to locate. Also located at Kudzu Antique Mall if you are in the Decatur area.

You won't be disappointed. Jo Ann...
