"Let there be hope Hope in your heart…read moreThat our love may revive" (Jagger and Richards) You'll find ReVive in that long strip mall south of the Harvest Café and Bakery, pretty much directly across the street from the International Skating Center. They sell higher end consignment clothing plus shoes, handbags, hats, and jewelry. The store was impeccably stocked and everything looked neat and very well organized. We have a formal function coming up this summer with a "Black and Gold" theme, so we've made a habit of going on these treasure hunts to various thrift and consignment stores for a black and gold bowtie as well as a black and gold long dress. We left ReVive empty handed because they do not sell any clothing for men, and they don't stock any long dresses. Nevertheless, we very much enjoyed looking around and visiting with the owner. Kelly could not have been nicer and more friendly.

But....I have been going to ReVive for 8 years and I have never walked out without something. The discounts are great and you can find anything from shoes, boots, sweaters, jewelry, coats, pants, purses that are out of this world! The longer an item is in the store, the lower the price gets. GO!!!

The store has so many cool and interesting little things, like beaded keychains, hair accessories, candles, jewelry, greeting cards and decor. Some of it is vintage and some is locally hand made. The back of the store is the thrift clothing section. Everything looks to be in excellent shape. There's also records, shoes and purses. I saw a Dior coat, and some items by Burberry and by Alexander McQueen. They are selective about their selection of items they accept. There isn't any of that awful stuffy smell. It feels and looks like everything is brand new. It's easy to look and touch things without the fear of everything falling. This store isn't stuffed at all. I can't wait to return and see what else they have.

The back clothing section is overpriced and not very well curated... quality is not cohesive throughout, with some very cheap feeling items being priced high just like more expensive feeling items.

Lured by the siren song of chairs, I wandered into this adorable store. It's wonderful. While it…read morelooks small from the outside, there is a large back/side room, and there is furniture! The aesthetic is that glowing, comfortable, homey feel of the "childhood" scenes in the new Little Women movie -- not the specific period (though I saw Eastlake dining chairs), but the sense of buying a classic piece that was part of a home and now it's going to be part of your home. It's all delightfully non-snooty, and the housewares aren't the same ones that show up in every antique mall. I ended up buying a necklace and am clutching the business card for the day when I buy a larger place.

Vintage, Retro. Antique ... all those things describe Bella Vintage, although vintage is probably a…read moremore accurate description. It's not a dusty, musty shop of goods that look as though they were dragged out of the garage or attic and nothing here appears to be a modern take on an antique. Things are old, but necessarily antique. So vintage it is, I guess There's a gift shop feel. The lighting is soft, and colors muted. Spread out amongst three rooms is about anything - from teapots, cookie jars, kitchen items and a great deal of miscellany -- to add an interesting accent to a room or a collection. Each room has an overall theme of a sort. One room seems to focus on kitchen, another on study or bedroom, and the main room has day to day items of home décor. Browsing is easy -- the aisles are wide enough to turn around without knocking something over, the placement of items keeps your eye moving. Unless searching for something specific -- and I'd recommend asking the owner, who apparently knows every item in the place -- spend time browsing. It might be a trip down memory lane for you, your parents, or even your grandparents.

This was an amazing bargain, I would strongly suggest you get down here and rummage through everything because there are bargains to be had everywhere you look, so much easier than going to the Goodwill store. Parking is plentiful out front, or in the town parking lot just across the street. Come on down , Simsbury is beautiful!

Their clothing racks are organized by color and size, and everything is in excellent condition. I however am mostly drawn to their home items, like their plates and dishes. I once picked up eight dessert plates for 15 cents each. None of them had a single scratch or nick. They have a whole bookshelf of hard cover books for just $2.00 each. There's plenty of jewelry, I saw a really cool pair of large pearl earrings, but they were clip ons. They also have some beautiful artwork, that's already framed. This is a lovely thrift store, that I wouldn't skip stopping by!

But as loaded as it was, it was very well organized and very neat, so shopping and browsing was a real pleasure. They consign an extensive range of Junior & Women's clothing, household Items, home décor, artwork, fine and costume jewelry, silver & gold handbags, shoes, scarves & accessories, small wood furniture, books, CD's, DVD's, gifts, and collectibles. They recently introduced men's clothing to their selection, though currently, their men's inventory is limited to around a dozen outerwear coats and a few colorful bicycle racing jerseys. I also saw a nice selection of soaps, cosmetics, personal care and pet care items. One cool thing I spotted among their collection of sealed party games, was one titled "Fact or Crap." It was definitely a fun place to browse in.

This review is specifically about consigning as the owner is very nice and prices are great…read more I was shocked, however, when I took a few items in to consign as every other consignment shop I've dealt with gives pricing and payout when items are dropped off. This place takes your items, has you sign them over, and then sends a receipt telling the consigner what the item will be listed for and potential payout. My instinct was to take my items back as that made no sense to me, and I take responsibility for not taking my things and leaving. To find out that, as per their website, the new unworn and unused items worth hundreds retail would garner an average of $9.00 per piece was stunning. I would much prefer to donate to someone who could really use the item rather than get less than $10.00 for a dress that retails for $150 and was never worn. Lesson learned. I'm selling online from now on.

But seriously, the sign did say 50% off women's tops, and I'd never been to that particular shop, so ya know how that goes--I made hubby pull a u-turn and we went in. It's a small place, but neat and clean. It felt more like a boutique than a secondhand store (it does call itself a "thrift boutique," so that's pretty apt a description). Everything is organized, and they've got a little bit of everything, including a small back room with decor items and housewares. Prices seemed reasonable. I picked up a pretty scarf for $4 and a leopard print tote for $3, both in excellent condition. This is a place to come in, poke around, and find some treasures to add to your wardrobe. So glad we stopped by!

I always take a look at the men's shirts first. I was very surprised to see them tagged at $12 here, which is substantially more than I customarily see at the Simsbury store, where I've picked up quite a few similar long sleeve Oxford shirts for $5. Otherwise, the store is very neat and organized and has the usual accompaniment of clothing, footwear, accessories, household goods, books, etc. I'm definitely a fan of thrift and second hand stores, and even though I was looking for a long sleeve white shirt, I walked out empty-handed today.
