They also carried more conventional, common brands. The woman running the shop was really nice. I'm glad I only had 15 minutes. It's a small shop, but I could have gotten into more trouble given more time.

It won't be a waste of your time. Drop off what is nice but not needed so that someone who really needs it can have it! Note the specific open hours and donations accepted times on their website. Tip re. Dropping off items: Donations are received at the rear of the building, down the immediately adjacent driveway. Back down it if you can. It's difficult to turn a car around at the bottom!

As you may know if you follow my reviews on Thrift stores, I am a reseller, so please remember that…read moreall my reviews of thrift stores are given from that perspective, which may differ from the ordinary shoppers perspective. Marin is the Mecca if you are either an ordinary shopper or a reseller in the high-end resale market this is a fabulous cause as well. They dress people who are looking for a new start and help them get professional clothes to go to interviews and such. The donations for the store come from very nice and wealthy donors in San Francisco and other areas of Marin County. The prices here are amazing. I mostly shop for myself but occasionally find something well enough price that I could resell it. They have a five dollar rack where they put everything that hasn't sold in two months. I found some amazing things on that rack today. I also bought myself some lovely things spent more than five dollars of course but not anywhere near the actual value of these designer pieces if you are anywhere near this place, you must stop by and support this wonderful cause.

" I should have known we were in trouble at that point but I was intrigued as we carefully walked through single file trying to take it all in mass piles of eclectic treasures but mostly trash, everywhere !! I found 4 items i thought to my self I would pay at most $ 100 I politely asked the owner how much after a long pause he barked out $ 200 !! I immediately set 2 items down and asked ok how about these 2 items he responded with $ 45 each i asked would you consider $ 50 for the pair ? a fair price as I buy and sell for a living. the owners response and I quote " i would rather set them on fire then accept that price !! " mind you he made no mention of any sale and it was quite obvious that inspight of closing his shop forever within the next hour he had no intention of selling a dam thing !! I had hundreds of dollars cash money in my pocket ready to buy , but the owner was rude and simply unwilling to sell anything !! needless to say my wife and I left empty handed and blown away by the off the wall experience and incredibly rude owner !!

If it wasn't for a man sitting on a mission style rocking chair with other folksy furniture outside- we may have just passed this one by. The proprietor (Mr. Farey) was friendly and cordially answered my questions regarding history of the quaint local store. Having lived in the area all his life- he acquainted us about the other stores to visit and suggested places regarding our specific interests. If you're into stained glass window art- there were a lot to choose from starting with simple acorn styles to fine mosaic style and Tiffany rose window style. There were simple art deco lamps, tables, chairs mostly wood, and old mirrors ( I love OLD mirrors). PS- I would definitely put this store in one of the must visits when you go antiquing in this area! Very pleasant and accommodating!

With Lola's it's a different story, I ended up putting items back because I was having too much fun, but didn't want to buy too many things -I only have a finite amount of space after all.
