Dropped off more clothing and belts today at Goodwill Boutique aka Chimney Corners. Over the last…read moretwo weeks I have combing through my closet to see if there were more items that I donate...found more items. I also parted ways with a floral arrangement I made about 20 years ago. Yes, I know, it was time to separate myself from the floral arrangement. There is something to be said about emotional attachment to items that you made by hand. Hopefully, it will find itself in a good home.

I discovered Garment Modern + Vintage years ago. In fact, I supplied some pieces to Garment in…read moreexchange for a store credit. I have had that store credit since 2023. Garment is a sought-after designer vintage shop in Austin. Located on South Lamar, the shop offers a carefully curated collection of high quality women's vintage pieces. The selection embodies fashion forward vintage including well preserved and visually appealing garments. Garment has a boutique rather than a thrift shop persona. I like that clothing was loosely hung on the racks for ease of perusing the items. Bailey, the sales representative, was super patient and kind. She happily showed me anything I wished to see in the store particularly those pieces that were under lock and key. She also offered to reach out to a jewelry designer for different ring sizes...so kind of her. Garment Modern + Vintage is a great destination vintage aficionados and fashion enthusiasts. Found one item! Bailey put it in a beautiful box and bag...very nice touch! While I used a little of my credit today, I still have more to spend.

The clothes are fabulous and I ended up buying a single diamond hoop style earring as a gift for my mom, and also one of their deliciously smelling perfume roll ons. The ladies were so welcoming and really helpful in helping me choose the gift! I was visiting from Chicago and ended up going in twice because the first time I was too rushed and felt like I needed to go back and look some more!

Thrift Stop #2 ATX…read moreThrift Store is one of my favorite thrift stores. It's well-organized, spacious and easy to move around. It is absolutely fun to shop at this store. They have unique pieces, ones you can envision wearing or putting in your home. At ATX Thrift store the thrill of the hunt is still alive and bubbling in your shopping veins. Smile. The selection of items rotates frequently with clothing, shoes, accessories, and goods that range from everyday basics to those one of kind items. You can find unique antique furniture like a victrola, a retro jacket, antique costume jewelry or a quirky décor piece. It is so much fun thrifting here. The little ladies that manage this store are so super sweet. I was trying to getting to a door that was locked. The store sales representative came outside to get me and take me through the correct door. I guess I did not realize that door was no longer open. These ladies are kind and will go out their way to help you. The prices of the pieces at ATX Thrift are reasonable and very affordable. It is nothing like going to a thrift store and finding item and then realizing it is way overpriced. As many times as I have visited ATX Thrift, I can honestly say their prices are consistently fair. While I did not find my pink depression glass, I did have fun shopping.

Definitely one of the better upscale thrift stores in the Austin area, however, their hours are…read moreonly Wednesday through Saturday 10 AM to 3 PM. This store used to be called the Assistance league of Austin, but as of last June, they disassociated and became a local nonprofit instead. There's actually about 300 volunteers that work without getting paid and keep this nonprofit going. The store is set up more like a well merchandised consignment store with plenty of furniture. All the prices here sit somewhere between Goodwill pricing and consignment store pricing. Unlike most thrift stores, this one is only given over to half the store being clothing and shoes, and the rest is hard goods. Definitely one of the absolute best nonprofits in Austin worthy of your upscale donation items. 10 photos for more insight.

The interior of this business can't be more than 700 ft.², but it is certainly packed in with old vintage clothing and some additional knickknacks.

Though I didn't find what I was looking for at either location, I purchased gift cards to the shops as a way to donate back to them. Everyone who works here is so kind and just really all about saving the fur babes. The store is super well organized and clean. I love the themed displays they often do too. If you wanna give back, save lives, and live sustainably, then support this invaluable organization. Shop til ya drop!

Austin Pets Alive! is near and dear to my heart because of the many animal lives they save. This…read morereview is a long time coming as I have many draft reviews that I am still working on getting posted. As the mother of a rescue dog who was going to be euthanized, I am 100% behind everything this thrift store stands for. In fact, every 6 months when I overhaul my closet, I donate A LOT of clothing, shoes, and accessories to the store in support of the cause. I also like to swing by as part of my North Loop jaunt (every few months, hit up North Loop stores and pubs---to include APA!) to make purchases. Found quite a few cute things here over the years not only for myself but friends and family. They've got an amazing selection of items and each time I pop in they seem to have loads more. Support this local shop in saving animal lives. Trust me, you will find something to buy!

When my aunt was alive every Christmas she would give me pieces of depression glass as a gift…read more These pieces were special to me because over the years she thrifted and amassed a fairly large collection. My collection has dwindled over the years through breakage. So I was thrifting looking for pink depression glass. The Burnet Road location is large, well organized with two-stories of items. It is filled with just about anything that you can imagine. Clothing...they have it! Shoes...they have it! Vintage items...they have it! Kitchen and house wears...they have it! Unfortunately, no pink depression glass. I will definitely return to thrift here due to their large selection of things. In addition, their prices are very reasonable. First stop Austin Pets Alive! - Burnet. I learned that all net sale proceeds go directly to support Austin Pets Alive!'s lifesaving programs for animals most at risk. Their clear mission is saving animals' lives, which is so heartwarming. According to staff, Austin Pets Alive! is known for pioneering innovative programs that help keep pets out of euthanasia and place them into loving homes. The Burnet Road location plays a critical role in sustaining those efforts by serving as a critical funding source for the organization's work across Central Texas.

Traveled to Austin with four of my friends to go shopping for my birthday, excited to look at some…read moreluxury fashion finds. Entered the store with a smile. There were two gentlemen behind the front desk. One asked what I was looking for. I said I was looking for some eyeglass frames, which they recommended another store. I also mentioned something about us looking around before our flight. Wanting to still explore the store, I complimented the store, and politely asked if they wouldn't mind telling me a bit about their store. All of a sudden, one person behind the desk stated that he was too old for this, and that he just didn't feel like talking, and said it's his day off. The other person with him didn't say anything, so I just walked away, and then decided to call and Uber and leave the area. Having spent much of my working career with critically ill people who are often having the worst days of their lives, I can admit to many moments where I am super tired and frustrated with things in my own life, and understand needing to take a step away, have a minute to regroup, take a breather etc. But how am I supposed to know it's your day off if you're behind the counter, and asked me what I was looking for? what about the other person who I'm assuming was working..couldn't they have chosen to just say a few words? If they felt I was looking for a long explanation, I think a reply saying something like I'll give you the short version would have sufficed. It did made me wonder what it was about me and friends that made it seem appropriate to reply in that manner. Is the attitude some type of gimmick I'm not aware of? Im not necessarily angry, Just felt disappointed. Made me wonder what I had to look like to get treated nicely. Maybe it's the fact half my outfit is from Costco, the other half from Marshall's. (I'm still quite proud of all that). And my friend was carrying her Vera Bradley luggage haha. Well who knows, and I do see the work put into that store and am assuming there's a lot of thought and talent put into it. So take what you will, I think this review is more of a reflection of my confusion. Either way, the rest of my time in Austin was absolutely divine and people were kind and interesting!
