I have visited a number of Vincent De Paul Society thrift stores throughout Florida and they have always been a great place to find a bargain. In this building there is the thrift store and an area for client services. Proceeds from this thrift store is used to provide a food pantry, clothing, rent, and utilities to those in need. They are working towards building a neighbor aid center on land that was purchased adjacent to the thrift store. Their goal is to raise $1,000,000 for construction costs and for the furnishings needed in the building. They are seeking donations of any amount to make this dream happen. This thrift store has a nice selection of small appliances, clothing, accessories, art, books, and household goods on the main floor. There is also a downstairs with books and larger pieces of furniture. On the day I visited everything over $1 was 50 percent off so prices were quite good. Higher end items like designer name clothes are sold on their Ebay store page. This is a wonderful charity that is working towards helping even more people in this community. Please consider supporting them if you are able.

I love a church thrift store and this one is especially welcoming thanks to muralist Carol Makris of Artistic Brushworks. Members of First Presbyterian Church of Sebastian found her on the internet and hired her to spruce up the exterior of their thrift store. Their only requirements was for it to be colorful and that it would make people smile. Carol came up with a cheerful seaside cottage concept. It is so fun to look for all of he details in the mural like a calico cat staring longingly at a cardinal in a birdbath, a monarch butterfly, and beautiful flowers. Trove of Blessings Cottage was dedicated on July 18th, 2024 as part of the Mural Trail Project. The thrift store consists of the main buildings and two outside sheds with further discounted items. They sell clothes, accessories, shoes, art, housewares, books, and collectibles. Clothing had additional markdowns and the other prices were inexpensive. Stop by and find a treasure while supporting a worthy charity.

The Daily Thrift has multiple rooms packed floor to ceiling with treasures. Everything over $1 was 50 percent off when I visited. They sell bags, home goods, collectibles, shoes, small appliances, clothes, jewelry, art, and tons of other things. They had a whole hallway of cool vintage toys. Some of the more unusual things I spotted were a suit of Spanish armor and all of the medals a marathoner won in his many races. I ended up spotting an entire shelf of the Royal Rose pattern of my grandmothers China that I inherited so the friendly owner and I made a deal and I took two boxes home. Someday soon I will be able to throw a dinner party for 100. I was sorely tempted to take home a few other things but I don't think I have the room to display them the way they deserve.
