Bottom Line: A cute arts and crafts bungalow filled with fun vintage, inspired gifts…read more Based on the exterior alone I knew I wanted to stop in at Moxie Mercantile. My husband and I were lucky to score a street spot nearby. The store is rather small with individual rooms so he opted for fresh air while I enjoyed shopping the unique finds. I eyed up scented bar soaps, cute little bowl, earrings, stationary, scarves, journals, lotions, candles and such before I landed on a Fulton & Roark colognes for my husband. The staff were friendly and this was a fun store to visit.

Moxie Mercantile is a wonderful boutique on Commonwealth Avenue in Plaza Midwood. It's located in a…read morecharming bungalow that has been converted into the shop, which gives it a lot of character. They carry a great assortment of jewelry, small gifts, pet items, home goods, and other fun finds. I especially appreciate that they are genuinely dog-friendly. I can bring my dog inside without being told I have to pick her up, and they even keep treats on hand for their furry visitors. That kind of welcoming atmosphere makes a difference to me and is one of the reasons I'm happy to support this local business. Also be sure to visit their sister boutique, Betty by Moxie, nearby on Thomas Avenue for women's apparel, children's clothing, toys, and gifts.

I am a fan of Slate Interiors! I love the art, the unique tables, lamps, chairs, chandeliers, home…read moreaccessories, etc.. There is always something unique here that I want to take home with me. It is the type of place that makes you dream of how you might decorate a beach house, a mountain house, a contemporary house, etc.. The prices are reasonable on most things. Occasionally, I feel like the pricing has no rhyme or reason. They tend to have great mid-century pieces but these move quickly! A lot of their merchandise turns over, so it is always a new shopping experience. If you see it and you want it-- BUY IT! I have lost several great things because I wanted to "think about it." The place is overflowing with wonderful local art. I have noticed these pieces don't seem to sell as quickly as the furniture. For the most part, the booths are well laid out with lovely inventory. There are a few that could use a good makeover. The people who work here are friendly, though I did buy an set of something and received a phone call that the price tag on the item was incorrect, it was not for both pieces of the pair but had been priced per item. I was told I could either pay the new price or return the items. I opted to return the items and they wanted it back within 24 hours. As this was their mistake, and I live across town, I thought this was poor customer service. All in all it is in my top 5 places to browse interior goods.

We were working all day and didn't think we would make it to the store before closing on a Friday…read more We made it with 30 min to spare. The store had an incredible collection of outdoor (and indoor!) furnishings. Jason and the saleswoman who was on the floor were very kind and didn't rush us - it was the end of their day, too! Lucky for them we already knew what we wanted. (They also had a real sense of style and design to help us select pillow fabrics.) Before we left we bought a couch, 2 chairs and a table! So happy they are close to us and I can't express enough how impressed I was with the showroom and the staff knowledge of products and their overall customer service! We will be recommending them to our all of neighbors.

This is by far my new favorite thrift shop in the city!! I stopped by last week to check it out…read morefinally. I'd been wanting to come here since it opened and I WAS NOT disappointed at all. It's inside a house so there a so many different rooms to shop and browse. There is so much to see you need to make sure you have enough time to really walk through and shop. I loved all the variety, the brands, the unique finds. I spent about an hour in here and got so many cute finds!! Some shirts, dresses, earrings and so much more!!! I didn't want to leave and honestly I will probably be back next week lol. The pricing wasn't bad either. Not super super cheap, but not too expensive at all. The variety and cleanliness was so good. I recommend this spot to thrift lovers and if you've never thrifted you should absolutely check them out and expand your horizon. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!! The service was awesome as well. I chatted with the woman there for a bit and she was so kind and funny!!

In an old Tudor style home, this shop has a lot of clothes and jewelry. Only thing upstairs is a room for vinyl and vintage cameras. One rach of tshirts. Fans were on cause it can get warm up there. I think it was 6 rooms to shop in. Make sure you check every space because the halls had art for sale. I did see sitting space outside. Maybe that's for the spouses who want to wait instead of shopping! Staff were friendly but definitely not pushy. I purchased purse decor that was cute. I will definitely come back.

Just fyi, this place will ruin you for any other furniture store; you'll never be able to go back to any of the chains without comparing them to Cowbridge and their level of craftsmanship and quality.
