My sisters and I stumbled upon this cute and interesting consignment shop while sitting in the park waiting for the ferry back to St. Thomas.
I am always down for exploring a thrift store, flea market, or consignment shop and when I spied Encore, I was ecstatic.
We climbed the short staircase outside the colorful building, opened the door, and emerged into a small treasure trove of new and gently used shoes, clothing, accessories, and home decor.
There was so much to look at and so little time!
Beautiful designer shoes, sexy dresses, exquisite pieces of jewelry as well as casual wear. Prices were reasonable and there was something to fit every budget.
Although I didn't find the hoop earrings I was hoping for, I saw many other nice things and wished we'd had more time to try things on and explore the shop.
I left with a lovely faux pearl bracelet for $5.
The owners are a couple who relocated to St. John from the mainland. The husband, Mr. Needham, was tending shop when we dropped in. He is a nice gentleman, well-spoken and welcoming.
When I return to St. John, I'll make sure I have several hours to spend in Encore BEFORE I go to the beach. read more
