Gumdrop Lane is the dream and vision of Erin Ruane, a stay-at-home mom of toddler, Anna, and infant, Sadie. As a former online and offline publishing executive, Erin ran Internet and traditional classifieds businesses before leaving the corporate world to be a full-time mom.

Her goal in creating Gumdrop Lane is to provide a marketplace that is fun and functional giving busy parents, grandparents and anyone else looking for kids' merchandise a convenient, reliable place to shop. Erin is a passionate mom, avid shopper and successful businesswoman with a strong desire to bring her shoppers the best in high-quality new and used apparel and accessories for kids.

While some of our lines are widely distributed online, most of the lines we carry in our new department are top-quality, hard-to-find labels. We think this focus helps our shoppers keep their little ones from looking like every other kid on the block.

How does Gumdrop Lane acquire merchandise?
Erin, the owner and founder of Gumdrop Lane, personally selects each piece of merchandise. For our used department, Erin purchases merchandise through a variety of methods including buying directly from parents.
To stock our department of new merchandise, Erin attends apparel shows to scout out the latest trends and purchases the freshest designs covering all of her clients' tastes from traditional to funky.

What will I find at Gumdrop Lane?
All Gumdrop Lane customers will experience top-notch customer service through our personnel and through our user-friendly online boutique.

Our sellers will also experience a simple, convenient way to recoup some of the investment made in their kids' clothing while cleaning out items they no longer need. It seems parents always end up with wonderful clothing that's never worn because it's the wrong combination of size and season or perhaps a dress is too dressy for their lifestyle. Additionally, there are always those items that are worn only once or twice as our kids grow so fast. When this happens, Gumdrop Lane is able to buy these wonderful items and offer them for resale on GumdropLane.com.

If you are not located in the Hampton Roads area and are interested in selling your high-quality apparel and accessories, simply email info@GumdropLane.com and we will get back to you promptly.

Our buyers will find exciting new and used merchandise in a fun environment that's available 24/7. Convenient payment methods, beautiful packaging, gift wrapping and affordable shipping are also features of Gumdrop Lane.
