It’s a small thrift store with lot’s of heart and great treasures to discover. They usually have sales going on. I have been here a few times and each time have found some wonderful bargains. The volunteers are sweet and helpful. The place is clean. The only drawback is they only take cash… which can be a pain if you don’t bring enough money. Other than that it is a fun place to shop.

Drove past this little shop and thought I would give it a try. The owner(didn’t catch her name) was super friendly. Since this little shop is privately owned, I assume the proceeds go to some cause — which I am always happy to support. SHOPLOCALWHENEVERPOSSIBLE!!! Not a lot of great stuff — but interesting. Most of the clothing is overpriced. I bought a shirt that had a black(grease/ink) stain on the front. The shirt was marked $ 3(which isn’t bad for a NICE shirt) so I asked the owner if she thought the stain would come out — hoping that she would offer to take a $buck off — no go. I bought the shirt anyway and went home and washed it… the stain DIDN’T come out — but it’s all good. The store is CRAMMED with stuff, so you really have to look — even UNDER the tables!!! I found a great pair of Ralph Lauren black leather oxfords and I got those for $ 1!!! The store has some funky little purses — the kind that my 5 year old LOVES! So, I bought those, too!!! They have toys and kids clothing, adult clothing, shoes, dishes, jewelry, bedding, odds and ins… Totally worth a look!!! ***FYI: If you do decide to buy anything, this little store ONLYTAKESCASH!!! So if you plan on a visit — make sure you take some cash with you!!!***

This is a TINY thrift shop, that being said, both times I shopped there I walked out with treasures. The prices are good, it’s fairly clean, the volunteers have been great, and it doesn’t take very much time to peruse the«isles».

I’ve been going here since their previous location. They don’t have a TON of great stuff, but — like any thrift store — you never now when you’ll find a treasure. You have to be willing to spend time and dig. Yes, some of the ladies can be off-putting but most are super friendly and quite lovely to talk to. And yes, they do all of the(mis)calculations in their head but I am not going to argue over a few cents. If it is a large enough miscalculation, I find a way to point it out and they’ve always been gracious about it. Their prices are always more than fair. I like to take my Grandmother(who has dementia) here and they are always very kind to her.

Looks and feels like a church basement. It’s got that nice basement smell, too. I don’t want to rag on an all-for-charity shop, it’s great that all the money goes to a school, but it’s not the nicest shop. That being said, it’s worth a peek if you’re out thrifting as you never know what you’ll find. I did pick up a brand-new Old Navy shirt for $ 1 and a couple of adorable Mother’s Day cards, handmade. The ladies working were oddly put out that they had to stop chatting to ring up my purchase. And by «ring up», I mean they incorrectly added my total in their heads and there was no cash register. Clothes for men, women, kids; purses, shoes, books, housewares, games. The usual thrift store stuff.
