They are always taking in new items so you never know what you might find when you visit! The main thing I look for in a shop where it's a grab-bag is cleanliness, friendliness of employees, organization, and assortment! Low has it all! I purchased today a pain of Fillippo Totti jeans 1080s. (pictured) A cute retro 70's one-piece that's groovy for skating with shorts or pants over! (Pictured) And a pair of perfectly worn in size 8 Hi-tec hiking shoes from the 80's as well! (Pictured) The shoes there are phenomenal and they have plenty of unique 30s-60s shoes for dancing, outings, and outdoors! Go check them out! You might find your next favorite piece!

I love a good second hand store. And that's what ReThreads is!…read moreI sometimes need to remind myself that places like this exist, because it's easy to think of buying your clothes new, but there's a great selection at ReThreads so next time I want to buy an outfit for an event or something, I'll check here first! Second hand is great on the wallet and the world! I was only going in to browse this time, as I had no immediate need for anything (in fact we're just about to move, so I'm trying to purge, not gain anything else) but I was tempted by a few things still! On top of secondhand clothing, shoes, and jewelry they also have a selection of local goods/crafts for sale including soaps, other toiletries and jewelry. Nice little shop, definitely worth a look-see.

Good selection, decent prices, and a few gems. They also have a $2 rack in the back if you are…read morefeeling lucky.

The top of the $400 dresser I bought was covered with a runner and on top of the runner was a…read moreselection of several large lamps for sale and several Knick Knack/tchotchke items for sale. Although I looked over the dresser, opened the drawers, etc., I did not move all the lamps and many assorted knick knacks. I then paid for the dresser and made arrangements to pick it up the following day. When I returned to pick it up, there was a VERY LARGE split in the wood, ALL the way across the entire top of the dresser and way too wide to repair by any method. This major damage had been covered by the runner, the lamps and the knick knacks. So . . . Usually, normally, sellers will be transparent about damage, flaws, chips, cracks etc., and then it's up to the buyer to move forward with the purchase or not. Because the damage was so extensive, I did not think the dresser could be transported without breaking completely in two. Because the damage was hidden/concealed, I felt deceived. I pointed this out to the staff, who launched into their "no refunds" spiel before I could even finish my sentence. I was rather abruptly offered to the "opportunity" to leave the dresser (and my $400) behind if I no longer wanted it. Still, I extend Kudos to Twice Is Nice for serving seniors in need!! Thank you to the volunteers who offer their time. Thank you to the folks who donate. If an item is damaged, you don't have to attach flashing lights or a neon sign, but it's not "nice" to cover it up, then pile it high with multiple heavy items making the damage almost impossible to detect until too late to make an informed purchase decision.

Fortunately, our daughter sleuthed out a set of MCM dinnerware that I've become obsessed with. The owner is super enthusiastic, and has a deep knowledge of MCM tableware, which I greatly appreciated.

Excellent rockabilly and classic country soundtrack playing - just a great vibe overall, and a perfect place for finds.

Tuel Jewelers in downtown Charlottesville was established in 1945 as a watch repair shop. However,…read moretoday it's a thriving full service store. During their early days Tuel's took in mostly Railroad watch repair and certification. As the years passed they expanded into a full-service jewelry operation offering a variety of watches, jewelry, and silver repair. Along with retail sales they offered machine engraving, bead restringing, and battery replacement. It was battery replacement that brought me in as they continue this. Service was friendly and they replaced the battery in minutes. They even polished the watch up. Today, Tuel Jewelers continues to offer a full-service family friendly jewelry business carrying fine jewelry in diamonds, pearls, platinum, gold, and silver; rings, pendants, and bracelets; Its hard to find a store that offers both Jefferson, Virginia, and Mint Julep cups. Bride and groom gifts can also be found. Although on the pricy side these days with cheaper products, mall stores, mail order and big boxes it's the top notch service and quality Tuel Jewelers delivers on.

The buyers have a great eye for antiques, especially art. The oil paintings were captivating. One in particular caught my eye and I asked about it. Linda was kind and helpful, never condescending or snobby to my questions about it. I told her I would sleep on a decision, as the painting was (for me) pricey. I could not stop thinking about it and I knew it would haunt me if I didn't take it home. I returned the next day and Linda had the painting waiting for me. They carefully wrapped it for me and offered to carry it out to my vehicle. It was such a great experience, from start to finish. Entering the art world is very intimidating for a newbie, but they made it welcoming and approachable. My new painting is the focal point of my den and every time I see it, I smile and think of our wonderful trip to rural Virginia.

We finally visited this shop after our kids had been asking for months…read more We wanted to wait til warmer weather when they'd have their sluicing run open. We bought the midsize sluicing bag and split it between our two boys. There were so many gemstones in it! (almost not enough sand though) and the sluicing set up was really nice. Fun affordable summer activity for the kids. The store itself was clean and well organized, and it's always fun to see what cool rocks, gemstones and items of interest unique stores like this have stocked. I'm sure we will be back to sluice again at some point in the future!
