The store is disorganize! I am not sure what they have done to the toy section but it is a joke!…read moreit's all on top of racks or below racks in totes! if you try to dig through the piles on top of the racks, everything falls off or you have to bend over for hours digging through totes! Honestly, going to the bins would be much better! Taking out the shelving for the toys is the worst thing Management did! Then I paid $29.99 for a tote a Duplos, a good majority were chewed up by a dog or had bite marks in them! Bcuz the entire top of the tote was covered with tape, there was no way to check them without removing it! Do better Salvation Army if you are going to charge steep prices! Maybe the items should be checked before just throwing them out with tape on the top of the tote!

Luxury items are consistently extremely overpriced. AVOID THEM. You are not getting a bargain. .read more

This a great little thrift store with a large selection of antique toys…read more If you're looking for clothes this isn't your spot. Collectibles, antiques, toys, Hot Wheels, knick knacks, comic books, tools, household items, cast iron, vinyl, musical items, etc. We could have spent all day here.

MY HAPPY PLACE!! Every business owner should be like Talia. She's so friendly, inviting and excited…read moreabout every customer who comes into the store. It's so obvious that she loves and cares about her work. This store is adorable - always a solid offering of trendy and timeless clothing, quirky/fun gifts, plants, accessories, etc. Sort of like Target x10000 (you go in for one thing and walk out with 30). So much thought has been put into each product and detail of the store itself. I normally have to steer myself away from boutiques because I'm a poor young person and can't afford boutique pricing, but everything here is fair, affordable, and (yes it's true) high quality. I've been shopping here since it first opened and this place has always been quality/lovely! Whenever I'm back in Ames I have to swing in. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and visit :)

I only hope my review can help other college students be smart about their money and realize, as my friend did, that instead of supporting a small business that she thought she was, it still supports unethical fast fashion. I also know how hard my friend works for her money, which is why I was prompted to write this. Even if it is legal, I find it wrong to upscale and mislead college students.
