Her whimsical, colorful designs are sure to brighten your life and the holidays. For the past few months, she has been busy working on these cute, vibrant holiday decorations and knick knacks. Go check them out at Loop de Loop 205 NE 16th Ave, Gainesville, FL 32601 Open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 to 5 pm We know the space is a little tight but we appreciate your understanding and consideration. The shopkeeper has been struggling to have the landlord fix the leaking roof, the broken air conditioner and the electrical wires for several years now. Most of the shopkeeper's wares are placed strategically where they will not get damaged from the leaks. Also, the shopkeeper is an extremely fair and reasonable person who has place great care in everything she does including the pricing. Please respect her value, her integrity, her expertise, her passion and her livelihood. If you're in a hurry, the best and fastest method of payment is Venmo or cash. She has a square to accept credit cards but sometimes her internet service is unreliable. Please be patient so she can confirm receipt of payment.

As we entered, I said to my wife, "wow this place smells like my grandmother's." As I stopped to look at some of the clothes on a rack, the owner steps out from behind the counter and says, "I want you to know that I wash everything in here - twice - in unscented soap." There was no Hello, or Good Morning. So I said that she had overheard my comment and that it was not meant to be offensive, just a nice memory. ...and not believing me, she went on to berate me again for commenting on her store. I left immediately. There are other stores in this town that have better selections and certainly a lot nicer people.

Winters Past has a huge but well-curated selection of vintage clothing and jewelry that would do a large city shop proud. Plus, prices are reasonable--something it can be very hard to find.

Make the trek out to this lovely town for this store alone, and you won't be disappointed!

I honestly don't know how this place stays in business. The…read moreowner will greet you. But that's about it. Most of the time when I have gone in there the store is either completely empty or only one customer shopping. I find it strange that all of the Yelp reviews are 5 to 10 Years old. Nothing recent. I took in 2 Totes of clothing. And then a couple months later, another tote of clothing. After 6 months I called them to ask if I had sold anything and they said I had $17 cash or $23 credit. Mind you, this was after waiting six months for things to sell. I was told it would take three months though for a check to be cut! After 3 months I still had not received the check so I called them and they told me I could just come on in and pick up the check. It really made me wonder if they are struggling financially, and if that's why they can't pay people in a timely manner. I asked if I could find out how much stuff I still had left there and I was told that they don't keep track of what has sold and what hasn't!!! I've never heard of a business working like that. I'm not trying to be mean, but I've just decided to let it go. Waiting 9 months to make $17 definitely is not worth my time and I honestly think they need the money more than I do. It's a shame because there aren't that many thrift stores and consignment shops in this area. But I honestly just feel like i'm done with Valerie's Loft.

Then you call back to ask how much money you have and you can get the money in store credit or a check. The difficult part is that it takes forever to get your check.

It's located on 34th street in the plaza with Winn Dixie, so it's not too far from campus or 35th street. It's ran by an Asian woman who is very nice and I can tell she has been sewing for years. I needed one of my boyfriend's pants hemmed tighter around the thigh and calf area without cutting any material. She has you try on the clothing in one of the dressing rooms in the shop and then stand in front of the mirror so that your clothing can be pinned. She gave me her opinions on what should be hemmed and how the pants should fit, which was helpful! I also needed the pants done in 2 days time (which is considered a rush job) and she said she would have it done with no extra charge! I know other places would have charged an arm and a leg, so that was awesome! I've also had her sew the straps on my dress tighter and she did that for $15 in two days! The reason I am giving this place only 4 stars is because there are no set prices or a price list to look at. You have to physically bring in the clothes so she can tell you a price - which is fine, but I would at least like to see an estimated price list so I know how much it will cost me and if her final price is way off than what it should be.
