Such a cute little store with some great finds! I like how they have everything laid out separately…read morein different areas. All the clothing is separated into different racks by categories, i.e jackets, sweaters, blouses, etc. They also have a great accessory selection for bags, shoes, and jewelry and in the back there is a whole wall for children's clothes and toys. Everything is reasonably priced for a thrift store. I didn't spend more than $6 on a single item. The location is very convenient as well. Right on Potomac ave in Dormont and there is meter parking right out front of the store. The ladies that work there are very nice as well. They told us how they are volunteers and have been working there for years. This is a non-profit store and everything they don't sell within 60 days goes to homeless shelters and a lot of their profits go towards helping the animal shelters as well. The store has been around for 50+ years, which is amazing. The ladies said it originally started out as a trade store for items people didn't want anymore, hence the name. Very cool history and a great place to find a good deal! Will be back!

I stopped in this charming shop during my visit to Aspinwall. I had the opportunity to talk with…read morethe owner Madeleine Byers about what this small business has to offer. It is basically an antique shop however, they sell jewelry, gardening rods.and they specialize in furniture refinishing. She is also into estate sales and along with her assistant are able to transform a lot of "hard to part" with items into something reusable for an interested buyer. She showed me some of the wood pieces they had refinished and they also sell chalk paint if you wish to do the job yourself. She told me it was a good type of paint and she used it to paint her floor. She also does custom orders so if you aren't handy with refurbishing that old piece of furniture they will do it for you. She showed me some perfume bottles that were once sold in the old Kaufmann's department store. She sells a lot of brass items as well. I loved browsing and looking at the artwork made on some of the pieces and even some of the lamps they were selling. I was taken aback by a lovely picture frame that was made out of unwanted estate jewelry. I thought the frame was beautiful but I didn't want it to be overbearing. We tested it with a picture she had in the store and it really added to it. The one they had was 5x7 which she measured. I told her I had an 8x10 of my late mother but I have disposed of practically all her jewelry some time ago. She told me she could make a frame for me if I brought the photo in and custom design it. I also loved seeing the old hanging monkeys around an adorable rocking horse. Depending upon what you buy it can get to be a bit pricey. She told me the price is contingent on all the work put into it. The most important thing is that everything is final sale. I must stress that so know before you go. She told me that they got a lot of business before mother's day with families buying refurbished vases. There were only a few left and they were absolutely breathtaking! This shop is at the end of a one way street near Luke and Finch. You can either pay park in the metered lot or you get one hour free parking on the next street over which is one way the other direction. It is worth a visit and a good contact in the event you need handle an estate.

The Furniture Store That Is So Much More…read more Calling this place a furniture store feels like a serious understatement. It's part furniture store, part ever-changing décor wonderland, part treasure hunt, and part phenomenal gift shop. Every time I walk in, there's something new--and usually something I didn't even know I needed until I saw it! The selection is constantly changing, which makes every visit feel like a little adventure. You can find beautiful furniture, unique home décor, unexpected treasures, and gifts that are actually fun and different from the same things you see everywhere else. And one of my favorite things? They buy your old stuff, too! So you can make room for the new treasures without wondering what on earth you're going to do with the things you're replacing. It's basically a furniture store with the soul of a treasure hunt. You never know what you're going to find, but you can pretty much guarantee you'll leave with something you didn't know you wanted. If you haven't been, go. But don't blame me when you find five things you suddenly "need."

There's an option to paint or choose some sturdier pottery to do pour glazing on. They also do wheel throwing courses! For painting, we chose a mug and a small planter. The prices are listed on the bottom of each item and it comes with all the supplies, paint, and final firing. There is not table fee here like at other places. The staff is incredible. They remember you by name when you come in and are so helpful with picking out ideas, sharing techniques, and getting colors for you to use. If you don't finish your item the first time, you can come back and finish a 2nd time at no cost! ($10 if you come back after that on the same item.) We came just us the first time, and the 2nd time we came back with our son. It is a very different experience with kids vs adults, but either way is fun!
