Hunt for Treasure in High Bridge at Lucky You

Feel good about recycling and score a new outfit for summer! At Lucky You Consignment Boutique that is what you’ll find. Kim Sanford opened Lucky You in May of 2012 and is looking forward to her third year of business  at 19 Main Street in High Bridge.

“When I opened the shop it was always a dream of mine to be on a Main Street with big picture windows. The location in High Bridge fit the bill,” says Sanford.  “It’s more than a boutique. People love the feeling they get when they visit.” With vintage high ceilings and stained glass lights, the shop exudes a warm and friendly atmosphere in which to shop.

The collection features the best of gently pre-loved great brands of clothing, shoes and bags all at discount pricing—Coach, Tignanello, Lucky Brand and Free People to name a few. There is also a men’s clothing section and an eclectic mix of items for the home including dressers, vanities, glassware, as well as pictures, pottery and artwork. With inventory changing daily and seasonally, it’s always a treasure hunt.

Lucky You also hosts a ladies night once a month when the store stays open until 8pm. There are specials for that night only and always a visiting guest author or tarot card reader.

News Briefs
Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
