Second Destiny Thrift And Gift

I really liked this thrift shop. Much of the merchandise is what you would expect of a second hand store — items that are serviceable and inexpensive, but not particularly beautiful. I did, however, find a number of treasures. My favorite was a wonderfully worn antique steamer trunk that had already been sold ;_​(. I also discovered a wonderful old grandfather clock that I would place in the 1920’s that needed a lot of love, but it was still so beautiful. I found an adorable sewing box that was styled to look like a child’s chair, in good condition. There were two or three pieces of vintage luggage that caught my eye. I nearly bought a very pretty dress made of cream and gold lace that would have been perfect for Christmas, but it was too small. And I agonized over a nearly mint condition vintage record and radio cabinet that I couldn’t justify bringing into my frustratingly small apartment. I may still go back and pick up a gliding rocking chair that felt very comfy. This place isn’t as big as the DI, but the merchandise seemed cleaner and better organized. The biggest drawback I could see was that there were no dressing rooms for trying on the vintage clothes, only bathrooms that customers aren’t supposed to bring merchandise into. I had to see if the lace dress would fit by holding it up to the front of me and estimating. But that’s something that can be fixed, and I will keep checking back to look for new thrifted treasures. Overall, I’m excited about this new thrift shop.
