Restocking stickers this week means y’all will have LOTS of new water bottle flair to choose from! (Here’s a few we got in stock already—as seen here on the water bottle stand-ins for my sweet pal Mele and I)

Plus! We got lots of SWEATERS hittin’ the racks & LAST CALL FOR SWIM, before we put it all away for the season! 🏊‍♀️ (It’s BOGO all weekend, too, along with tank tops and denim!!)

(Are you not enticed to come visit us??? 😆😅✌🏻)

See y’all soon!

Fat folks aren’t a monolith! Shop the staff picks rack to find these goodies picked by Becka as well as all our team at The Thicket! 💟

Since you’re already here, the answer is a bit more than that:
We thrift, pick, shop, yard-sale, etc as well as host clothing swaps regularly—which always has leftovers! In addition, we accept donations every month. We like to think of the shop as more like community closet—a place where clothing cycles through, sometimes repeatedly, depending on the item, so that it can be cherished (and worn!!) for a long time by multiple owners with different vibes, styles & flare.

Currently, we are tackling an immensely generous donation from the bereaved loved ones of a local woman who recently passed. The shop is enabling us to provide this small comfort to grieving friends and family and it is such a privilege! This type of circumstance for a donation happens rarely, but what a gift so far. Lots of fantastic basics and high-quality sweaters and more, all in sizes 3 & 4X, just as we are all starting to think about transitioning into fall comforts. Just as we’ve been welcoming hundreds of new customers over the last few weeks and needing to step up our sourcing game when it comes to the most sought after sizes.
Universe alignment may or may not be A Thing but the stars really did align for this, I’ll tell you that much. 💖

What’s wild is that this is only HALF of part one of this donation.
The other half (~13 bags) ended up in my house to be processed: sorting, washing, redistributing, etc.
We’ll have loads of early-autumn ready pieces from this collection out next week!

See ya soon!

Resharing this video from 2023 to help all our new friends & followers find us in Worcester! GPS/google maps can be wonky, and so are old mill complexes 😆 so we know we can be a little hard to find when you first visit. Hopefully seeing some of the main landmarks for driving off the highway, turning into the mill area & finding the correct entrance door are helpful!! 😅

Look for our signs once you’re in the mill campus—we have a few staked in around our specific building (which is past the Extra Space Storage but NOT past the light-yellow building!! Number 3 is in the middle)

Drive safe! See you soon! ☮️

Not “have you lost weight?”
Not “you look so much healthier!”
Not “I can’t show my arms, because…obviously”
Not “she looks so sickly!”

If it’s about a body—yours or someone else’s—we kindly ask you to keep those thoughts/comments to yourself while you’re in our shop. 💜
