Drift on by this thrift store... yep, that's right, keep walkin'...
From the outside, this shop looked cute and promising - but disillusionment set in as went thru the door...
Let me preface by saying I LOVE THRIFT STORES...
I love finding a second hand shop in a quaint little town like Colonial Beach. But this isn't second hand... it's third or fourth hand! The inventory here isn't just used, it's beyond. Much of the junk here was broken, damaged, and dirty. I saw a cute leopard skirt that had a huge rip in it and it was marked $6! T-shirts, blouses And tank tops were stained and torn. Sweaters were pilled, pants missing buttons and dirty.. Worn out broken sandals and flip flops were... hold onto your hats... $5! Haha, ridiculous. You can go to the dollar store, Walmart or Old Navy and buy new ones for a buck. I checked out the jewelry and most of the earrings were rusty or missing beads and they were priced too high. Some of the glassware was chipped. I will say the S & P shelf was full of cute, kitschy pairs of nostalgic shakers and some of the kitchenware was worth a gander. I saw some nice silver toned candlesticks on a table but they were overpriced for this shop. Other than that, the whole place was just junky, dusty and disorganized.
I felt itchy when I left... I hope they clean up their act and discard the useless items and start being more selective. Otherwise, it'll be "another one bites the dust" for this CB shop. read more
