Life has been busy. Busy enough that I haven’t been thrifting for over a month. A record in my book!
I broke that spell this week with a little trip to a few of my favorite spots.
1. Studio pottery bowl, perfect for summer fruits.
2.Wooden handled silverware tray. Just in time for back porch parties.
3. Large cotton madras tablecloth. I plan to use this for summer picnics and for the beach.
4.Blue striped mixing bowl. One of my favorites recently broke so this was a timely find.
5.Wooden handled wire basket for the farmers market and our CSA share.
6.Cobalt blue and grey studio pottery vase for summer wildflower bouquets.
7.Woven basket case perfect for the pool, the beach or as a summer handbag.
For the local folk, as promised a list of my favorite spots…….
Not only the closest in proximity to me but also full of high quality goods. The top floor is full of clothing, handbags, shoes and bags all in impeccable condition and the bottom floor, full of housewares. This place has washed and ironed linens!
Note: Riddle is closed on Saturdays in the summertime.
High quality beautiful goods many of which are antiques. Some of my most treasured pieces of pottery and kitchen wares come from here.
Note: Neighborhood League is closed for the summer months and opens right after Labor Day
A great mix of collectables and housewares as well as clothing and jewelery.
Note: Pennywise closes in the summer months but reopens after Labor Day
Some of the best furniture around!
This one has a bit more “junk” to sift through than the others but I still have found many treasures here. All proceeds go towards the Domestic Abuse Project.
Harry’s Treasures and Collectibles
This is an antique store but the basement is full of 1/2 off treasures. Some of my favorite pieces of furniture have been found at Harry’s.
Lucky you!
Wish we had those kind of thrift shops here, too much junk, but I’ll check again.
I will have to check those thrift shops out.
I used to volunteer at Riddle Thrift–best way grab the goodies before they hit the floor! Got my dining room buffet from Bryn Mawr and used to work up the road from the Neighborhood League and would shop during lunch. I’m looking at two of those treasures right here at my desk at work. Love the thrifts! Another good one is Encore on corner of Rts. 1 and 52 right before Longwood, benefiting Chester Co Hospital.
