She has just about everything a modern-day Victorian could want. When my niece got engaged while the shop was still in Philadelphia, I gifted my niece with the jewelry for her wedding which she selected from Victorian Menagerie' s collection for brides. The whole experience is unforgettable, from the moment you walk into the shop you are surrounded by the hush of a gentler time and place, antique style carpeting stills your footsteps, soft music fills the air, and fragrant scents from melted Scentchips surrounds the customer. From musical DVDS, jewelry, books about angels, decorative art, gifts for brides, babies, and that special someone, Victorian Menagerie is the place to fill your needs, with Bernadette and her staff to guide you gently through your shopping experience.

2 Friends recently relocated to its new location from 536 Burmont Road, where it shared quarters…read moreand parking with Burmont Hardware and Rex Dry Cleaners (both excellent). Yelp limits a user's categorization of a shop like this one to "thrift stores" but this is less a thrift shop than a high end consignment and gift business with remarkably affordable prices. Yes, you read that correctly: Owner Joanne Rebold is very intentional about her inventory and very price conscious. She understands that moving stock is more important than storing it. That's rare these days, isn't it? The premises are remarkably clean, beautifully well organized and appointed and appropriately lighted. At the front of 2 Friends you'll find an excellent selection of women's, men's and children's clothing, and arranged for convenient browsing. What you won't find at 2 Friends are ripped stitches, tears or moth holes in anything Joanne sells because she's meticulous about condition. To the left of the entrance stands a lovely (and often asked about) china cabinet full of crystal, dishware and fine porcelain. Among today's takeaways were a Beleek china bud vase for twelve (!) dollars, typically priced at $65.00 to $75.00 elsewhere (check Rubylane if you don't believe me). Now, take a deep breath, backtrack and read that sentence again. This sort of shopping find is rarer than hens' teeth on the ground these days. Dig a little more deeply into the china cabinet and you'll find full sets of designer dishware (Pfaltzgraff stoneware, Royal Worcester tea sets), cut crystal (today's visit turned up sparkling Waterford and Wexford sets) and Royal Danish holiday pieces all elegantly presented and priced to sell. Keep walking through this immaculate store and you'll pass designer handbags, vintage women's hats from the twenties and thirties (I counted no fewer than a half dozen cloches, smartly displayed), jewelry, brass, flatware, toys and on and on. You never know what you'll find so stop by often. Joanne's stock changes daily and her consignment traffic is high. What sets 2 Friends apart from so many other neighborhood consignment shops is that Joanne offers high tea for groups in an ever-evolving, ever improving back room. The 2 Friends "tearoom" is already booked weeks in advance for reading groups, local women's organizations and product demonstrations so be sure to make your reservations early because her calendar is filling up quickly. Parking is a little bit of a challenge because meters line the lot out front. However, there's ample free parking a hundred yards past the store on Woodland so keep heading west until you find a spot. 2 Friends is tucked into a row of stores flanking the Drexel Hill Post Office and set in the business district of historic downtown Aronimink. If you're planning a consignment junket to the Main Line remember to add 2 Friends to your itinerary. You won't be disappointed. This is a local treasure owned and operated by one of Upper Darby's leading lights. Brava...

It was the same size same color same everything, that was my dress and they took it to sell without paying me. The one male owner tried to gaslight me into thinking I was basically crazy. When I went through the bag of stuff they gave back to me, the dress was indeed not there. I was furious but decided to leave it be.

In early January, I took a gold watch bracelet to them to have two links made to lengthen the bracelet. While in their possession, I inquired almost weekly for an update on an estimate for cost and time needed to perform the work but never received it. After about two months of waiting, I decided I'd take it back and have someone else work on it. When I went to pick it up, Sonya the store manager, handed it back to me in pieces. I started putting it back together when I noticed there were pieces missing. Had I not checked, Sonya would have let me leave the store with it in that condition. After pointing out the missing pieces, she said she would look for the missing parts and have it ready the next week. So I came back the next week and the bracelet wasn't there. I wasted my time going to the store when they could have called me to let me know it wasn't there. I was told to come back again the following week. I came back the next week and when I inspected the bracelet again, I found that it was again missing parts, but now it had been damaged. It looked like one or possibly more of the links had been hit with a hammer. How they managed to damage it so badly I have no idea. The parts damaged shouldn't have even been handled at all. I'm now waiting for Sonya to again resolve this but at this point, this watch bracelet is likely a loss and will need to be claimed as such by their business insurance. The cost is almost irrelevant though as this bracelet is irreplaceable. Don't take your valuables to Best Jewelers because they may end up like mine - ruined.

They also have a display with several trains set up with buttons for people to try to see what lights up or makes sound. The trains were not moving while we were there and they were kind of busy in the lead up to Christmas so we didn't ask to have them running, but I'm sure they would have turned them on if we had asked.

Though I am sure there are skilled jewelers in the city, I go out of my way to bring my jewelry requests and work to Larry, and I will travel to the area specifically to work with him. Aside from just being an all-around great person, Larry is a gifted craftsman who is very thoughtful about jewelry design and structure to ensure that pieces will not only withstand the test of time and wear, but also shine with beauty for the life of the piece. I have partnered with Larry on several custom pieces - he was an excellent listener and advisor when I described my vision for the pieces, and he brought them to life. Aside from quality craftsmanship, the most important thing about working with a jeweler is the ability to have complete trust, not only in their ability to turn out a beautiful final product, but to handle heirlooms, sentimental pieces, and other valuables with care and integrity - in Larry, I have that full trust. From something as simple as changing a watch battery, to adjusting fit and style on pieces, to the exciting challenge of creating a breathtaking heirloom piece from scratch: You cannot go wrong with Faden's. Faden's Jeweler's has my highest recommendation.
