Well, I revisited Sozo Trading Co. today and I was greeted warmly again when I entered the store…read more The clothing selection looked just as great as it did the last time I was in the store and I also noticed other things such as beautiful glassware, dishes, sturdy furniture, electronics, a variety of linens plus several light fixtures and nice lamps. And then I noticed the jewelry, because the last time I visited I was looking for mystery jewelry jars and today I was happy to see five or six baggies absolutely full of costume jewelry that appeared wearable along with beads and watch parts and just everything I could use for crafting and repurposing with jewelry. So, I purchased two jewelry bags and the contents did not disappoint me when I opened them at home. So, it was another productive and great day shopping at Sozo Trading Co. In addition, there is always plenty of free parking and if you have the time there are a couple of restaurants nearby.

Sozo Trading Co recently turned 10!!! I can't believe they have been around this long already…read more This is one of my favorite thrift stores to visit. At their 10 year celebration, it was such a fun environment! They had raffles , special pricing and even had a coffee truck on site. I really enjoyed coming here to celebrate with them! The staff is hardworking and seem to enjoy their jobs.

I enjoyed walking around in Urban Suburban a few Saturdays ago, because of the 'no pressure'…read moreservice. There is a wide selection and I think there was an interior designer there looking at vintage furniture the day I visited. And the prices seem to be reasonable even though I didn't purchase anything that day. This small shop is definitely worth a visit.

I definitely would like to come back here when I have more time. A lot of the stuff was pricey but there were also booths that were offering sales. There's a good selection of furniture, pictures, home decor, kitchenware, etc. Pretty much everything I saw was in good condition. I'll be back!

One could find everything from that band shirt they remember from high school to a classic VHS tape of their favorite childhood movie, or a piece of art they can’t live without. Everything is for sale (basically)! Housed in a 1920’s era former apartment, it has a vibe all its own. Definitely a must for any vintage head or thrifter.

When she went up to check out the lady was very curt and arrogant as she changed her pricing statement. I would have left empty handed. I definitely won't be back.

Stopped in on a Friday afternoon. Neither the owner or employee welcomed us. The store is…read moreabsolutely packed full of clothes and shoes. You have to shimmy between rounders. The clothes were well organized by color and well labeled. Stop in here if you want a good selection of women's and children's clothing. Do not stop in if you want good discount prices...you will do better looking at sale racks at department stores.

I love this store. It's fun, colorful and creative. The poster art of our beloved city of…read moreBirmingham is cool. T-shirts and nicknacks bearing the Birmingham, Alabama name are plentiful. The people working there are always nice and helpful. Prices are a bit high, but the store is in a very popular area, so I imagine rent ain't cheap. You should drop in to cool off after shopping in the farmers market. Makes for a great day out!

I've been digging Yellowhammer Creative's neato Bham-love designs, and therefore I was stoked to…read morepay a visit to their Yellowhammer Print Shop in Pizitz Food Hall. Yellowhammer's main items are t-shirts and posters and you'll find many at this store, along with other goodies such as postcards, bags, koozies, dishcloths, and stuff from other makers, like soaps. I bought a few gifts for friends. Fab local stuff!

Items that I dropped off for consignment never reached the floor, so it's no wonder they didn't…read moresell. They were designer items, in line with the items they accept. When I scheduled an appointment to pick up unsold items, they returned my items that had not reached the deadline for pickup. On another occasion, I dropped off designer items and when I inquired about the money from the item I was told I had missed the deadline and the item was donated . I don't believe that to be true. They had remarked how much they loved the item at drop off. I believe they kept the item . Just suspect that I never saw my items either times on the sales floor. Of course I paid the $10 fee , their gain, my loss, and picked up my items. BTW some still had the original tags on them, I had never worn the items. Purchased from high end stores. Disappointed.

It's a woman-owned gift/trinket shop downtown and it's pretty fun to browse their inventory of unique jewelry, socks, puzzles, candles, and more. The Charm team also hosts events!

If you're looking for a special gift to make a friend laugh or smile, give them a visit.
