When her husband's job required a move to Statesboro from Lawrenceville in North Georgia, Maria Proctor knew she wanted to continue working. Instead of remaining in the funeral services business, as she had done for the last several years, Proctor decided to try something different and open her own retail clothing store this past April - Madame Couture's Consignment Boutique. "I have always been thrifty, and have shopped at consignment boutiques, as well as Goodwill, and other thrift stores," Proctor said.
