We are Will and Melodie Bridges. Will grew up here in Florence and I moved to Florence when I graduated from Hartselle and attended UNA. We met at UNA and have been married since 2003 and have 2 girls, Callan and Lizzie, and a boy, Walker. They are very helpful at Wee Swap and spend more time working with us than they want to.

We didn’t set out to be in the consignment business, but God has a funny way of placing you exactly where you are supposed to be. I started working with Wee Swap around 2010 as a worker and then soon found myself doing some marketing work for the former owners, Lou Ann Mitchell and Lea Snell. That was then followed by a few years of tagging items for Drop and Run. Lea eventually sold her part to Lou Ann and then in the fall of 2017, Lou Ann and I switched places. I took over the business as owner and she took over Drop and Run. Both of us feel like we got the best end of the deal. Thank goodness, both Lou Ann and Lea still help out each sale!!

If I’m not at Wee Swap, I’m home with my kids, but I also sell Pampered Chef. Our family loves to travel, and we also share a love for mission work. We’ve spent some extended time on the island of Antigua over the course of several years and have formed bonds there that make us long to go back. We’ve also been to Estonia and Germany as a family spending time with missionaries there. Will has spent even more time doing missions in Peru, Switzerland, Brazil, England, Zimbabwe and Mexico. It’s a big part of our life together and we are grateful to be bringing our kids up experiencing other cultures and forming relationships around the world as well.
