That's even more than my local women's club raised (through donations and fundraising only) for the same period. The store is neatly organized, and the prices are great. The day I stopped in, they were having a half-off sale on their women's clothing, and I was able to find several things that I liked. They also have a variety of housewares, cookware, linens, shoes, and decor. They even have a roomy fitting room to try on clothes. Note that they don't have any men's clothing. All of their items are donated, and many were higher-end brands. I found several Loft and Talbots tops and dresses that I had to purchase. Village Thrift is also fully run by volunteers who are friendly and happy to be there. I'll definitely return the next time I'm in town!

My…read more6-year-old daughter had been looking for a heart-shaped locket after losing one from her grandparents. She finally found what she was looking for at Take Heart! She immediately went to the counter so we could purchase it. The women there were so kind with her, asking about her purchase and her name. They were so touched by her story that they decided to gift it to her for Christmas! We were shocked! We were in the store for a brief amount of time, but that visit will leave a long-lasting impression on her and us. Thank you to "the purple shop" for creating such a wonderful Christmas memory for our family!

I LOVE DAINTY DARLING BOUTIQUE…read more I went when the summer season wear was still up, now completely changed to autumn attire. Clothing, accessories, shoes, face masks, and many other fun items are available. Of course the pricing is more than a typical retail store, but that can be expected of any boutique. There is a powder room and a fitting room available. The back room is entirely plus size fashion. No men's clothes, no children's clothes. Very cute options, on trend for the season. Lovely ladies that work here and nice music in the background.
