With my favorite thrift store out of commission, I have the tedious task of finding a new second…read morehand heir to the throne. Today I decided to brave the dreaded left hand turn on Eggert to test my luck in Tonawanda. This place is wider than my old haunt, so points for quantity. Everything is sorted into catergories, yet I took the time to stroll through all the racks. Generally when I shop clothes I look to see if anything catches my eye instead of leafing through, especially if it has the color tag of the day. This store makes the plastic tether colored as well in case any of the tags accidentally get removed. Blue was the chosen child, at 50% off, and I found a few pairs of pants to try on, along with a sweater. You have to get permission to use the locked fitting rooms here. The peppy register girl let me in to a small room with the full length mirror on the door, a chair and a few wall hooks. I didn't have enough booty to fill the pants, and while they offer a returns rack, I took them back myself as I was passing through to get to the rest of the store. In the back they have housewares. I passed on a Mickey Mouse alarm clock (aesthetically great, but who uses analog these days?) and considered grabbing one of their numerous mugs (only second in bounty to the playpen of stuffies up for adoption) before just settling on the sweater that I had picked out. At the register I was pleased to find that my total came to three dollars and change. Sure, thrift stores are not as cheap as they used to be, and my change was rounded because pennies have been eliminated, but if you scour the racks you may find a great deal, used, or even new. They say one man's trash is another man's treasure, and I may have found a doubloon, but I'm still looking for the ultimate bounty.

It seems the Serendipity Shoppe must have relocated since the reviews of a few years ago…read more Serendipity is not in the Blackrock area. It is located within the First Presbyterian Church at the corner of Wadsworth and Pennsylvania. The entrance is on Wadsworth, but there is parking available via a driveway on Pennsylvania. Additionally, there is handicap access available. If needed, call from the parking lot and one of the volunteers will come to escort you to the code-required elevator. Okay. Now that we know where Serendipity can be found, what can we expect within? At least one serendipitous find. For instance, last Saturday my daughter, just prior to attending a graduation party, found a graduation card there, obviating the need to stop again to buy a card. That could not have been more serendipitous. Okay, okay. Imagine a thrift store and an antique store got married and had a baby. Serendipity? But, of course. You won't find clothing, as a rule. Not saying never, but Amvets and Buffalo City Mission have clothes. At Serendipity you will find collectibles of myriad types, books, jewelry, lamps, dinnerware, pottery, home décor, eclectic gifts. Perhaps a hat. Possibly a shawl. Books are nicely shelved and categorized. Every other thrift store I have been in could take a lesson. I had planned to return and take some interior photos before reviewing; seeing as the location seemed to be in question from past reviews, however, I decided to post now, make the location clear, and return at some later date with more photos. The address above is correct: One Symphony circle. Phone 716-248-0232. ALL proceeds benefit people living with HIV/AIDS. Donations are always welcome -- saleable items, as well as cash. The charity is The Aids Plus Fund of WNY, a 501c non-profit. On Facebook, look for Serendipity Thrift Shoppe. Several photos there, too. And they do accept credit and debit cards, as well as cash.

I'd like to take cuttings from my flower beds, and this vase is a nice addition to my collection.

I moved to Alden in April of 2025 and somehow I have managed to become a regular at Under One Roof…read morein what can only be described as record-breaking time. Honestly, I think I'm in there more than anywhere else in town... okay, maybe second only to the coffee shop -- but still. Priorities. Recently one of the girls who works there asked, "Were you in here recently?" My response: "Yes... but you're going to have to be more specific." At this point I'm basically on a first-name basis with the clearance rack. This place is truly a magical hybrid of boutique, consignment shop, and small-town treasure hunt. They have clothes for kids, teens, and adults -- some new, some consignment -- and the consignment pieces are so pristine you'd swear the previous owner bought them, lovingly removed the tags, whispered affirmations over them, and then never wore them once. And it doesn't stop at clothing. Oh no. There's furniture, small appliances, baby items, exercise gear, bedding, health and beauty goodies (from really good brands, too). You name it, they probably have it. And if they don't today... check back next week, because the inventory changes constantly. One of my favorite things is how active they are on Facebook -- posting new arrivals, sale alerts, and little contests so you can plan your visit like a highly strategic shopping mission. If you live in or anywhere near Alden and you haven't been here yet, I don't know what you're doing with your life -- but I gently and lovingly suggest you redirect yourself to Under One Roof immediately. I'll probably see you there. I'll be the one pretending I'm "just browsing."

This week I called to retrieve only the new winter coats and they tell me there is no balance on my account - and they do not have them. They further went on to state, they had nothing "tagged" for me since last December.... you literally cannot randomly drop off items, you need an appointment which I had January 26, 2026! The owner had her manager call me, who I had spoke to about these coats twice. Since they take your items and you get no ticket, ...they win! Bad business practice. Whoever took these coats has some nice winter wear.
