Many years ago when we lived in Medford, NJ. We would drive to New Hope, Pa because the scenery…read morewas beautiful. We would shop that little town and then continue on to Peddlers Village which was a short distance to the west. We just loved shopping at the Brass & Oak Store. We bought a beautiful rocking chair and a foot stool that still looks new after at least 35 years ago. We live in southern Florida now and that rocker is still like new. I'm so happy we bought this furniture there because it was alway a pleasant day to enjoy the shopping there.

I've always thought of how cool it would be to own my own little shop. This shop would be full of…read morevery desirable and distinctive this and that's. I would name the shop "Just For Shitz & Giggles". Shops like this draw me in like bees to honey. I love the uniqueness of the various forms of art , colors and the handcrafted quality workmanship of specialty shops. The Brass & Oak Gallery is one of these shops and the name is fitting. Beautiful displays of hand made works of brass and oak fill the rooms. I have shopped here several times and never walked out empty handed. My dining room table was specially ordered here and handcrafted in Connecticut. The table can be ordered in various sizes and I ordered the largest they had. The table is framed in thick oak and sits on a beautiful dual oak pedestal. The top of the table is ceramic tiles, of which you choose the design and colors. I chose two handmade Captain's chairs and six side chairs, as this is a rectangular table. I have purchased various heavy brass wall sculptures, one of which is a large and well thought out design of a branch, that has five porcelain doves scattered about. The doves themselves are 3-4 inches long with gold painted beaks and eyes. It is absolutely beautiful. I love their selection of cabinets, stands and many choices for home decor. The works of brass, I marvel over, with lawn sculptures, home decor and some of the best scenic works of wall art I have ever viewed. I love everything that I have purchased here, I receive many compliments on the pieces I have bought and I make it a point to check out this shop anytime I am in the area. So, in the near future, if you see a new shop named "Just For Shitz & Giggles", by all means, do stop in.

But that would be unfair to the whimsical petting zoo where the animals don't bite back! On any other day you might catch a curious glimpse of the artist's work caged behind a fenced in area. But on every First Friday the corner of 3rd & Arch becomes "alive" with a menagerie of goats, dinosaurs, monkeys, zebras, bullheads, octopi, and them some. The artist carefully crafts all of the above out of reclaimed metal, and they all come in sizes big and small ensuring that you can find a unique gift for someone whether you aim to pay $20 or $200+! During First Friday the sculptor is on hand to answer questions ranging from what scrap metal was used to create a t-rex, to what type of animals he's working on next, and he may even take requests. Fans of trinkets can browse through keychains or tinier animals; while those looking for larger goods can procure full-sized bull heads, giant dinosaurs, and more. While 3rd & Arch is his main Old City point, I have also seen the artist set up shop in the Piazza over the weekend before during special events. So be sure to keep an eye open during other special markets.

Metal Menagerie: "The Petting Zoo Where The Animals Don't Bite Back"…read more I visit Old City for First Friday fairly often. Each trip, I try to make it a point to swing by the corner of 3rd and Arch to see what Metal Menagerie has on display. I love how they take scrap metal and turn them into various animal artworks. I haven't made a purchase yet because my yard needs a lot more work before I'd consider adding a neat display piece. The sculptor is available for questions and seems more than willing to take requests. It is interesting to hear how he comes about getting the materials and the assembly efforts.

This store is absolutely massive. And the carts? Chef's kiss. Smooth, solid, high-quality carts that roll like butter. Think Target carts, not the janky, squeaky chaos you usually get at thrift stores. I appreciated that more than I expected to. Prices were mostly average. Not amazing, not outrageous. Vans were around $14.99, which isn't great but also not the worst I've seen lately. Home goods weren't huge, but the section was decent and worth a look. I didn't find any jaw-dropping designer labels, but I did find some solid pieces for myself, so it wasn't a wasted trip. Bonus points because they were running orange tags at 75% off, which definitely helped soften the pricing sting. Would I come back? Yes, if I'm already in the area. Would I make a 45-minute drive just for this store again? Probably not. Overall, CommunityAid Temple is clean, well-organized, easy to shop, and way less stressful than a lot of thrift stores. Not a holy grail, but a solid stop that's worth checking out especially during tag sales.

We decided, after buying a new home, that we would turn the finished basement into the game room…read more. We debated a home theater down there. We debated a second living area, then we thought about it, we dont' have kids, and we really aren't huge movie buffs... so maybe we should have a fun basement for when we have some friends over, or those cold winter snowy nights where sitting outside isn't a reality , and you're sick of TV. So we headed over to RR Games. I wanna preface this by saying I've driven by this store for 4 years when I worked in Douglassville. Never stopped by, but really should have. The place is insanely cool. Tons of games, pinball machines, arcade machines, pool tables, skee ball(!!!), foosball , bubble hockey, old boardwalk style (Love tester) machines, it was just cool. Tons of small decor items you can add as well. Just a very cool place. We wandered around for awhile, and were met by Gerri Lea (according to our receipt). She answered a lot of questions for us (we initially only went to look), and noticed when we had stumbled upon a floor model in the rear of the shop. She told us the original price(a quick google search revealed many online places were selling for that price), and that the reason it was marked down was it was the last one left, and we would not be able to get our choice of felt. We liked the color of felt enough that was on it to not pay for the upgrade. Here's the kicker. Usually I hate upsells.From everything starting at French fries all the way up to sports packages on cars. I hate when I find one thing, and the seller shows me better things that I could have for "only a little bit more". Not here. She showed us the included package and each upgraded package. Noting what individual prices would be buying it all separately. (Again, a quick google search revealed their prices were pretty in line), and it made sense for us to do the upgrade to get the better table cover(we have cats who would make short work of the felt), 4 cues instead of 2, the better racks, the bridge, etc. It was all stuff we would have bought piecemeal, but instead it all came with the table for a fair price! We wound up getting the ping pong conversion kit as well for the top of the table as the price was right. We will be back. We will be adding air hockey and skeeball at the end of winter , and who knows what else. Definitely come here first , and dont come just looking, because you'll be leaving with what you were looking at. One quick side note. I had my table delivered today. Delivery guys were super nice. Accommodating the fact we had pets made sure to keep the doors closed, and not open up the doors we asked them not to, in order to keep both they , and our pets safe. Table was set up in the area I asked them too, but they modified it by a few inches because of shooting angles, and made sure I was ok with it. TOtal experience was an A+ with RR Games.
