For those looking for (relative) bargains on beautiful high end furniture, lighting and decor, this…read moreis an excellent choice. The Velvet Shoestring accepts consignments on high quality pre-owned modern, vintage and antique items - think Waterford, Herend, Herman Miller. Pricing changes based on the time an item is available, dropping every 30 days. This is noted on the tag so if, say, you want something but don't want to pay the current price you can take your chances that it won't sell by the time the price drops. When I say something is a relative bargain, I mean they Eden at the most reduced price you will not find a Tiffany lamp for $5. Consider that the lamp was, let's say, $900 new, they might price it at $400 to start and it's still a good price for what it is. They don't negotiate beyond the tag. Staff are minimal and unobtrusive. You're generally left to wander the two floors (main floor, lower floor) to your hearts content. It's a lovely store that I enjoy visiting every few weeks to see what's new and what I might want - the other day I bought the stained glass lamp in one of the photos. I love it.

Thrift & Thrive is the new, larger thrift store run by the nonprofit Domestic Abuse Project of…read moreDelaware County. They previously ran Nana's Attic in Broomall (now closed). I stopped by a few days ago to check out their new store. It's significantly bigger than Nana's Attic, which means it feels far less cramped. Yay! Still very good prices, the "yellow tag" items are consignment and generally higher priced than the store's donated stock. It about killed my soul to see an awesome vintage salt & pepper mixed in with newer dishes in a consignment lot. Aaah! Staff are great, the store is clean and bright. I'll definitely be back. Note: angled parking in front of the building is NOT free, Pontiac is a public street, and those are pay at kiosk metered spots.

I do not recommend going here. Thrift and Thrive has lost my business after 10+ years…read more As previously stated, I have been a customer for over ten years. I have been a customer at this store since it was called Nana's Attic. Today I was there, looking for furniture. The selection was a bit overpriced for the quality. Suddenly, I needed to use the restroom. The woman working informed me that they did not have a public restroom and that I could go to the Dollar Tree next door. The Dollar Tree did not have a usable restroom. I returned to thrift and thrive because, quite frankly, I was literally about to pee myself. I begged to use the employee bathroom. The employees lied to my face and said that there was no bathroom in the entire store. Yeah right, if that's true, then that's a worker's rights violation, and they would not be in business. I explained that I was having an emergency and they did not care. It really stinks to be a loyal patron of a store, then to be treated so poorly in return. Particularly during a vulnerable moment. There are plenty of better thrift stores in the area with better prices AND customer bathrooms. It's a shame that a store that has such a great mission doesn't provide a great shopping experience.

All I had to do was ask Andrew to procure one, and in a couple of days, he obtained a virtually brand-new Submariner with the coveted green bezel that keeps perfect time--and has the box and all the papers. Andrew smoothly adjusted the band and explained every nuance of the Rolex so that I would have the best experience with my new watch. Plus, Andrew's price was absolutely fair for this timepiece. As excited as I am to have this AMAZING and GORGEOUS watch, I remain equally impressed with Andrew's resourcefulness, candor, honesty, fairness, knowledge, outstanding level of service, friendliness, and passion for watches. He should be YOUR "watch guy," as he is mine. Five stars all the way! === October 21, 2005 First experience with Andrew and Sansom Watches! 5-Star! Excellent experience selling a luxury watch!

A Personal Touch…read more Boyds is a unique format for a department store. It feels large but all the more small by the personal attention you receive upon walking in the door. This "attention" can be overwhelming at times depending upon the sales representative. If you're someone who has a crisp idea of what you want and prefer to shop in peace, you may find unwanted company. However, the passion the associates have to meet your exacting vision knows no bounds. On more than one occasion I've found myself texting/emailing with an associate regarding the most frivolous of products such as cufflinks. While many high-end fashion department stores have been unable to keep up with the change of consumer demand, it's nice to know Boyd remains a permanent fixture in the local community.
