My boyfriend & i bought this wonderful bookend set here for $2! 😊✨ What a wonderful thrift shop find! 🏅🌈
Definitely a super cheap location! Lots of items at really low prices. The quality is fairly basic, but definitely lots of bargains. The furniture is interesting but swings to the higher side of pricing.
There was a very big arrangement of second-hand goods here for sale at really low prices. There is even a coffee shop there as well.
