I have been shopping here for many years and have found countless cool things. Some favorites include recycled silk yarn that I made a scarf with, a bumper sticker that said "Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History", and a mini tape measure on a keychain. Archimage has toys, musical instruments, soap, coloring books, gemstones, stickers, candles, jewelry, plants, clothing, and so much more. It's definitely worth a stop.

Wind-chimes, drums, signing bowls, crystals, inscents, candles, soaps, wallets, postcards, cloths, plants and much much more. Fair trade, hand crafted, and some local items. The staff is friendly and the owner is a wealth of knowledge. I was very lucky to have an opportunity to ask her questions and talk to her about several different items that I was interested in. I learned origin stories about some of the items, what certain meanings of specific crystals were and also care tips for the baby jade plant I took home with me.

When I walked in I thought I was in a going out of business location. It looked like Hurricane Sandy returned. Clothing on the dirty floor that hadn't been stripped or waxed for decades, empty shelves just very unclean and this is what people staying at the local downtown hotels are seeing yuck And it smelled like cheap air freshener spray when I walked in.

Do you live in an older home? If you live in the city, that is a likely situation you're living in…read more The problem with old homes is for as beautiful as they are, replacing parts when they break can be expensive and difficult. ReHouse takes that problem as well as the ethical repurposing of other houses to use. Whether you need an old sink or some doorhandles, ReHouse has you covered. I've even seen things as large as staircases that were rescued from a demolition just waiting to be brought into a new home. You wouldn't know it from the front but behind the store is a generous parking lot ready for you to fill your car up with new salvage to bring home.

They have a great range in book selection, lots of unique bookish merch, and place emphasis on inclusivity. They have mandatory masking on Wednesdays, which I think is a great idea and is a super inclusive way to make book browsing safer. Prices are fair, and the booksellers are helpful and nice. I've had a good time during both of my visits and definitely plan to come back!

Books are arranged in a way that's interesting and flows and incorporates the other items they sell - art, incense, gems, bookmarks, tea, pins, pens, stickers, and other odds and ends. You're not going to find a deep discount on most of the items - your word discount is likely to be your best bet there - but you will find a solid selection of popular titles and off-beat titles you're likely to be able to be recommended based on interest in those popular titles. I could spend several paychecks in here at a time. Expect to spend bookstore money here but leave with things you're excited to read. The friendly readers behind the counter are going to happily discuss your purchases and help you find what you're looking for. I will be back, much to my wallet's chagrin,
