Smartypants growing again: Smartypants children's consignment shop at 405 Broad St. is adding kids' furniture to the business after relocating to a larger space last month. "We have a lot more space and more light, so we're more shopable" says Julie Roberts, owner. "We have 4,000 square feet of space, double what we had before, so we have room for furniture. Plus a lot of people are asking for it."   While Smartypants already accepts baby furniture, they are now taking furniture for kids and teens. Items include kids table/chair sets, dressers, nightstands, headboards, bookshelves and lamps. Roberts said she would even consider buying unfinished furniture to complete herself for resale.  "The consignment business is really growing. We now have about 1,500 consignors both local folks and some from Atlanta," she says. "We'll take anything from newborn to juniors, which has really grown in our new space."  Details: 706-234-8528/By Natalie Simms
