📚🛒 THRIFT SHOP THURSDAY IS STACKED. 🛒📚

We’re open tomorrow, Thursday, May 21st, from 9:30am - 1:30pm!

The MASSIVE BOOK SALE continues, and we added a TON more books to the floor overnight!

✨ Most kids books are 10/$1.00
(excludes individually priced books)

We’re talking:
📖 Picture books
📚 Board books
📕 Chapter books
✨ Plus freshly restocked adult books
🕰️ And our incredible collection of rare & vintage books is still going strong

And don’t forget to check the regular book section too — those kids books are part of the sale as well!

Meanwhile, Tuesday shoppers absolutely wiped out furniture, so we’ve brought out MORE pieces… and several items have been MARKED DOWN 👀 If you’re debating on something, history suggests someone else is already loading it into their trunk.

Also restocked:
🪴 Vases
🛏️ Blankets
🚿 Shower curtains
🧺 Storage totes
🖼️ Frames
🎨 Craft supplies & jewelry kits
🎲 Games
👕 Clothes
🎖️ Military gear
🪝 Hangers (because somehow everyone needs 47 more)

And for everyone suddenly remembering summer exists… we are down to ONLY TWO AIR CONDITIONERS. It’s May. August here is basically nature’s personal attack. 😅

Come early, grab a cart, and prepare to leave with way more than you planned.

📚 BOOK LOVERS, THIS IS YOUR SUPER BOWL. 📚

We’re open tomorrow — Tuesday, May 19th from 9:30am - 1:30pm!

We’ve created a brand new little library area to showcase our HUGE BOOK SALE, and honestly… it’s giving cozy bookstore energy on a thrift store budget. ☕📖

✨ ALL kids books are HALF PRICE!
✨ New collection of rare & vintage books just hit the floor
✨ Cozy chairs, shelves, and pieces perfect for building your own reading nook
✨ EVEN MORE books are being added tomorrow morning

So grab a cart, channel your inner book dragon, and load up before someone else walks out with your next favorite read. 📚🛒

Some people spend $30 on one new hardcover. Couldn’t be us.

🚨 THRIFT SHOP REFRESH ALERT 🚨

We’re open Thursday, May 14th, 9:30am–1:30pm, and our volunteers have been BUSY. Like… “maybe we should all appreciate this before it gets immediately destroyed again” busy. 😅

✨ New finds hitting the floor:
• 4-season car tent
• More badminton sets
• A snazzy luxury baby pram
• New sheet sets & curtains in linens
• Military trunk + military bags

And speaking of military… the military room got a full glow-up. 👏
✔️ More uniforms sorted by size
✔️ Short sleeves organized and ready for warmer weather
✔️ PT gear resorted into the CORRECT bins
✔️ AND FOLDED

That’s right. Folded.
We are documenting this historic moment now, because once shopping starts… we know how this story ends. 😂

And don’t forget — we carry uniforms for ALL branches, not just Air Force!

The baby section also got reorganized and restocked, so come take a peek before the best pieces disappear into someone else’s trunk. 👀

See you in the morning! 💙

🚨 Fresh furniture drop incoming! 🚨

We’re open tomorrow, Tuesday, May 12th, 9:30am – 1:30pm, and after y’all basically cleared us out last week… we restocked AGAIN.

✨ New desk
✨ Set of FOUR gorgeous leather dining chairs
✨ Cute coffee table + end table set
✨ Kitchen goodies galore
✨ Linens restocked
✨ And yes… we uncovered some vintage PYREX 👀

Here’s your official thrift shop survival tip: if you love it, BUY IT.

Because apparently some of you are training for competitive thrifting now, and the good stuff is not surviving until “next time.”

Need help moving furniture later? No problem — we can arrange a later pickup. But we cannot promise that fabulous chair/table/lamp/rug will still be sitting here waiting for you tomorrow afternoon while you “think about it.” 😅

And remember: EVERYTHING is for sale.

The rugs. The art. The furniture. The random thing you assumed was “part of the decor.” Yep. That too.

✨ Brand new gift items
👜 Luxury purses galore
💖 Matching Kate Spade bags + wallets (!!)
🎖️ Military room additions
📕 Tiny prices, towering book piles

🎓 Grad season is here and we understood the assignment.

Caps, gowns (yes, for the ✨aesthetic✨ photos), frames, and celebratory décor—we’ve got your grad covered without wrecking your wallet.

And if you’re trying to win Favorite Parent of the Year…

Meet this gorgeous vintage Lane cedar chest (1940s)—in incredible condition.

Perfect for grads heading off to dorms or first apartments: stash blankets, winter clothes, keepsakes… or all the things they swear they’ll organize later. Also doubles as a bench because we love a multitasking queen!

🛋️ Also new: a full living room setup—record player + actual records included. Be cooler than your kids. Or at least try.

🔥 Camping gear is still here (barely). Sleeping bags, tents, portable grills, tools— even your “I’ll totally camp this summer” self deserves options.

🌬️ Fans are going FAST.
Future You (hot, dramatic, slightly regretful) says buy one now. We’ve also got AC units and even an air purifier 👀

💐 And in case no one has yelled it at you yet:
MOTHER’S DAY IS THIS WEEKEND.

We’ve got gifts, new-in-package goodies, and yes… a few Coach bags that are getting scooped up quick—don’t blink.

🍳 Bonus points: grab some kitchenware and pretend you’re making Mom breakfast in bed.
(She knows you tried. That’s what counts.)

👉 Buy furniture now, pick it up later—just talk to us at the register.

🕤 Open tomorrow, Thursday, May 7th, 9:30am – 1:30pm.

Come get your life together. Or at least your shopping.

🎉 Cinco de Mayo + thrift store prices = a party your wallet can actually enjoy.

We’re open TOMORROW, Tuesday, May 5th
⏰ 9:30am – 1:30pm

Last-minute fiesta panic? We’ve got you:
🌮 Sombreros
🍹 Margarita glasses
🎉 Festive decor that says “I planned this days ago”

Also… it’s about to get HOT. Like why didn’t I buy that fan when I saw it hot.
We’ve rolled out fans + AC units now so future-you can feel smug instead of sweaty.

✨ Star Wars lovers: May the 4th may be over, but we don’t quit that easily. We added MORE to the display—books, toys, games (Monopoly + Operation!), puzzles, blankets, AND a newly uncovered LEGO set 👀

🏕️ Camping season is already happening—scout groups are out there, are you? Gear up here for way less.

👜 A few more designer handbags just hit the floor (run, don’t walk)

🪑 Bonus outdoor chair cushions = your patio glow-up

🚲 And yes… more kids’ bikes have rolled in
Basically, we’ve been busy so you can have a very well-equipped spring.

See you tomorrow 😎

Oh, these crates? Yeah… we’re officially over them. 😅

PCS season is creeping up, and if a big dog crate is on your “oh no we need that” list — congrats, we’ve got a whole lineup waiting for you in the hall.

Plot twist: we’re tired of hauling them around, so they are deeply discounted and ready to go home with literally anyone who makes eye contact.

Swing by before 1:30pm and rescue us from… the crates. 🐶📦
