With the pandemic, I don't know if this event runs any more…read more My friend V. loves thrift shops and what she calls 'treasure hunting.' Having grown up poor and being forced to wear way too big, tooth achingly ugly winter coats from Goodwill that I'd 'grow into,' hideous polyester button down shirts that a pimp wouldn't touch, scratchy, pill-y wool sweaters reeking of camphor, high water generic blue jeans and summer shorts I would not put on a dog in a clown show, I assiduously avoid things like this. V. was insistent that I would 'go wild' over this flea market because 'it won't be like anything else you've ever been to!!!' I had my doubts about that but you make concessions for friends. We paid our $3 entrance fee and strolled around. Most of the vendor tables had things that were of no interest to me; old playing cards, glassware that was (presumably) collectible, vintage tattoo flash, old silver plate and older, tarnished sterling silver tableware, racks of *shudder* vintage clothing and shoes, most of which had seen better days. There were some well curated tables of antique jewelry and antique beaded bags at very non-bargain prices and a few tables of what I can only call culled pieces from cabinets of curiosities-moth eaten taxidermied items and non-p.c. tourist trash. For the most part, the vendors we encountered were bored seeming or down right rude. The people watching was far better than anything for sale. After 2 hours here, V. bought a very large, ornate dusty rose colored tassel. I asked what she planned to do with it. Her response? 'Do you want it, Warren?' Uhh-that would be NO. I bought nothing. V. wanted to take another spin around the place so I opted to go out to her car to sit and read, telling her to take her time. Another 2 hours passed. She returned empty handed, other than the tassel, to the car. Would I go back? Nope. Should you go if the flea market opens again? It's $3 and maybe an hour or 2 out of your life. You could spend that time and money in worse ways.

The experience made me love Philly all the more. Where else can you find funky craftspeople with interesting goods to offer? There's been a lot of commotion because of overcrowding at previous PRFMs, but this weekend seemed to flow rather smoothly. Sure it was hot, but never felt like I was stuffed in a hairy man's armpit. That's saying a lot. Looks like times are really tough for some folks out there. I saw a guy walk out with a brand new Nintendo DS with games for $30. I gave my friend $5 to scour the floor and buy me a present. She came back with a caricature of my dog. Best gift ever. If you missed out on this weekend's sale, make sure you check out the next one. It's the perfect place to find cheap and random gifts for friends.

We were unexpectedly made executors of a friend's estate, and we didn't know where to turn. Harry came to our house, where we had assembled items that we thought would have some value.

And the clothing -- such a well curated selection of both new and vintage clothing. And also the things for babies... if you need to buy a gift for a newly formed person, this is the place to do it. Moon + Arrow has so many things that I don't see in other "similar" stores, which tend to stock the same half dozen candle brands, books that should be shelved under "various light reading," and riffs on tea towels.

The owners must clearly have an eye for vintage because the careful curation of clothing and accessories from all decades is truly wonderful. Rightfully, it is listed as the best vintage store in town. The staff there were great, and a person helped me get dressed when I needed a hand. Also the aroma in this place was quite lovely. I'm not sure if it was incense or some kind of oil diffuser. I bought a $15 mod dress on sale, and it was much cheaper than what I would expect it to be at some of the other vintage stores near by. The quality of it was great too. I can't wait to return!

Let me start by saying what I wish I knew years ago. THIS IS A GOODWILL STORE!…read more Retrospect is owned by Goodwill. They pull all the vintage items out of their donations and send them here to be up-charged to high heaven even though they acquired all the items for free! Ever wonder why you can't find affordable nice vintage pieces while at Goodwill anymore? It is because they were all sent here! They used to hide the fact that they were a Goodwill store super well, but recently I noticed that their POS system had the Goodwill logo, and when I asked the staff member about it she confirmed exactly what I'm saying. There are many other vintage stores that are curated and sourced all over the city. Support those small businesses who invest in their craft over Goodwill, a large corp that gets all its inventory for free.

Lots of 1800's to turn of the century items you won't find anywhere else with a museum quality presentation and feel. Check them out!

Check out Mesh's IG too. So good. Their hours can vary so maybe call first if you're going out of your way to go. Otherwise if you're In the Passyunk area make sure you pop in.
