I was in the area having lunch when I came across Junk in the Trunk, thrift store in Ogden. I…read morealways love walking into thrift stores and seeing what people have discarded, only to be rediscovered by someone else. As soon as you walk in you realize this isn't your average thrift store. The store is well laid out, organized and has that fantastic smell of used gear (but in a good way); it all brings back good memories of the past. They have a good assortment of records (yes vinyl is making a comeback). And they are dirt cheap; mostly costing less than a buck! I picked up two records and it cost me a toonie. How great is that!! The store shelves are organized in a great way, great friendly and inviting owners, wonderful jazz music was playing in the background, housewares, books, clothing, toys, electronics and even furniture were available to snap up. Be careful, walk into Junk in the Trunk and you'll be walking into a time-warp that you may not want to leave.

I stumbled upon ClothesHorse one day and thought I would check it out. The lady at the til greeted…read moreme and seemed quite nice. The store is packed with stuff! They had a good selection of jewellery, some pieces were really nice. I found a simple salt water pearl necklace for $19. There were some pashmina scarves in a corner of the store, for $29. I found some cute purple shoes for $25, I thought that was a bit much since they were a bit roughed up. It was hard to see the shoes because they were under the full clothing racks. I looked though the clothing and found that most of it was aimed toward older women. There were some nice belts, Micheal Kors for $30. Overall the prices were not that cheap, though most of the clothing seemed to be name brands. They only accept consignment by appointment, starting on specific dates for seasonal wear. You get 40% of the sale price. I would probably return to check out ClothesHorse again, but I wouldn't hurry back due to the prices.

I found a leaf blower I have needing for ever and it was $60 yellow tag. Paid for it but then I needed to go get charger from back. Well they saw it was a yellow tag and made and excuse that it was hardware instead of garden so someone must have switched the tag to come back for it. So they retagged it a different color but for the exact $60 price. So I think they miss labeled it hardware and used that as an excuse to retag it. They should have honored the price as it was their mess up. Rant over.

Zero for customer Service - Terrible!…read more I dropped off goods for consignment and received a call a few days later that they didn't take any of my goods and that I should come and pick them up over the next few days. I wasn't aware that I only had 5 days to come pick up my things and when I came today to grab them I was told very rudely that they had donated all of my goods to goodwill. I told them I was not aware that they would send my stuff away as I could have taken a few things back to sell personally. The manager was very rude to me and told me that it was my fault that I didn't come for my things. I asked if she could have changed the process to tell me what day I had to pick it up by which would have been clearer or perhaps send me an email with a deadline date for when I should pick up my things by. Nope, she said she didn't need to change how she notifies customers and that these things rarely happened. So I asked if there's anything they'd be willing to do for me such as offer me a 20% coupon to retain my business or anything to help build good will on this unfortunate circumstance. No again. She responded by telling me she didn't feel she had to do anything for me and that the onus was on me. So not only did I lose all if my goods, I got no reassurance that this would not happen again should I choose to consign with then again, and they weren't willing to do anything for me to retain my patronage. Not even an apology! I would have appreciated a little sympathy and some attempt to create good will when you throw out someone's things that were of value to them. How do I know if they hadn't stole some of my stuff and sold it after the day they decided to send my things to "charity"? Cuz they technically could now that they claimed all my stuff got donated. I'll be sure to tell every girl that I know of my experience and how I was treated. I was hurt, and humiliated by the way the Manager spoke to me in such a condescending and belittling manner and will never come back. At the end of the day it's was not about my goods. It was how I was treated and humiliated and told that they didn't feel they had to do anything for me, nor change the way they notify people of when they ship your goods to charity. If you want to consign, I'd suggest you shop around the block in Kensington and find a more friendly place to do business with.

It has everything of course, clothing, shoes, kitchen appliances, jewellery, and knicky knackies but for such a small place I found everything surprisingly organised. This is a Thrift store folks don't expect anything less than junk and this and that but what I didn't expect were such high prices. Come on a jacket for $100 , you can pick one up at Divine down the street in better condition and at 75% lower in price. This wasn't even vintage and it wasn't even leather. The dishware was ridiculously expensive as well, Value Village has stuff below a buck that Zoe's was selling at 4 to 5, even Winners could beat the prices here, and it would be new and in better condition. Big no no Zoe. On the other side of the coin however was the furniture, now I saw a chrome table 50s go for 30 dollars then a 70s retro dining set at 60. I mean both would sell for well over 300 dollars in Vancouver or Toronto. So there is this huge imbalance in pricing. The women working there are extremely personable, I believe the owner or manager is from Russia and she is very friendly and sweet and the girl behind the counter is fun and attentive. So I guess shopping at Zoe's is the luck of the draw, I mean you can find what you are looking for, stock comes in daily but you may not want to pay for what you find or you may wonder why you paid so little. What absolutely floors me is that for a thrift shop they have this amazingly hip cool website up, where you can ask questions to Zoe and even find out what has come in and what collectibles they have. Zoe strange.

I took a long walk around Calgary yesterday. It was a beautiful warm and sunny day and I wasn't…read moreabout to miss it. Interesting people were out, cute dogs were being walked by their owners, and everyone seemed to be in a good mood. Part of my stroll was down the "hip" Uptown area of 17th Avenue. What drew me into Steeling Home from my walk was an on sale desk fan that was displayed outside on a cute antique table. The price was right, but I knew darn well that it would be hard to get it in the suitcase for my eventual trip back to the San Francisco Bay Area. I might still change my mind on that.... Anyway, I decided to stroll around inside and really enjoyed exploring the many pockets of interesting stuff this relatively small store holds. It has books, antiques, jewelery, and much more in-between. The people watching was fun too, with a fresh touch of Portlandia thrown in. I'm glad I stopped in and reminded myself that marching around a new City is fun, and stopping to explore some of its quirks is even better.
