Saw this driving by and made a quick stop -- very nice thrift shop! Note that on Google maps it is…read more"Thrift & Gift" not Valley View. They had a nice selection of clean, quality, furniture at great prices. My friend got a beautiful large end table for $10! They had a lot of items, well-organized and clean, and even used closets to display collections such as fine china or craft supplies.

I stopped into Thrift & Gift today to see if I could uncover a hidden gem. While nothing really…read more"spoke" to me this time, I can imagine other people might hear the call, there's definitely variety here. The store is well organized, which I appreciate. They've separated things into clear sections so you're not wandering aimlessly through a sea of knickknacks wondering if that teapot is next to a pair of roller skates. That alone earns points. That said, some of the prices felt a little on the high side for a thrift store. Bargain hunting is half the fun, but when the deals aren't quite deal-ing, it takes a little shine off the experience. Overall, it's a clean and organized spot that could be a goldmine for the right person. Just didn't happen to be my lucky day. Three stars feels fair.

The tour guide Joseph was so kind and full of energy. The video you watch when you get there is a very heart felt explanation of the passion to continue this community. They own 800 acres and the property is built on 20 acres, it was built between 1971-1975 for the main spaces that are shared. 45 people live there but could range to 80. They show how the products and structure are made. I had no clue about silk casts and loved the hands on understanding and history. They have concerts, events, gatherings. Etc at the amphitheater. Check out the website. The cafe is closed. You can stay as a hotel guest overnight. They offer apprenticeship also.

Clearly what the original architect had in mind many years ago never came to fruition as it really hasn't changed in years. Is appears to be a small artist community but we didn't see anything going on at the moment so couldn't tell if it id still active or they make everything south in Scottsdale at Cosanti. There is a gift shop where you can watch a brief video on the history and learn about their wind chime creations. Personally I've received many of the wind chimes over the last 20 years for housewarmings or Christmas gifts. Each is unique. The greeter in the gift shop was friendly and stated there is a tour available as well. We didn't have time for the tour but purchased a couple of small gifts. He suggested visiting the Scottsdale location as well which is called Cosanti. I had no idea it was located in Scott's well. Will check it out.
