I go to the GW in Branford but didn't know about the other two shops! I found a few thrifts stores around me by accident! Never knew they were there... just happened to drive by them.

I am originally from Fairfield County Connecticut and lived in the brandford Area for a bit Brings back happy memories. My husband have an I have resell antique business here in NC to supplement our income here as teachers. We go to country old barns, estate sales , church thrift stores ( plenty of those , cash only but great finds ) It is definitely different thrifting here in NC versus Connecticut. So glad I stumbled on your channel.

It sounds like you and your husband spend a lot of your time the way we do! It's such a fun business. I'm working all of the time, but I also feel like I'm never working because I love what I'm doing. Thanks for watching my video and leaving me a comment!

Thank you so much! It baffles me that there isn't a very big demand for china right now, but I guess I have the benefit of very low prices as a result. Thanks for watching and leaving me a comment!

Thank you for sharing your thrifting day with us. Out of all the wonderful treasures, the smallbrooch and the delft earrings were definitely my favorites. But then again you. Always seem to find wonderful things And Iris is so sweet looking. Of course. Looks can be deceiving lol. Love your vlog za

Thank you so much! I was thrilled when I found out that the Delft earrings were half priced. Iris literally just broke a picture frame. But she is cute - mostly when she's sleeping. 😂😂😂

Thanks for taking us along. Great comments on Savers and Good Will. I’ve been thrifting less than a year and have noticed the increased pricing at these stores. When I was vacationing on Hilton Head Island I found quite a few charity shops that had wonderful things at great prices. Would love to find these around my town.

Me too! As I find good stores, I'll definitely let you know. Of course, if you don't live in or near Connecticut, it's probably not that helpful!

You are so right about the prices at Good Will. I always go to the one in Cheshire, and in Wallingford. I have found some things that are priced higher than what I would pay for them new. I thrift more for primitive decor and antiques. Can you tell me through your experience where you have seen a decent selection of primitives during your thrifting. I just stick locally, Branford, North Haven, Wallingford, etc. Thanks in advance!
@WorthingtonHome5 ай бұрын
There were some nice primitives in my recent trip to Coventry. If you didn't see that video, you might want to go back and check it out. (I think it went out last week?) I only went to three stores there, but there are apparently more in the area. I would recommend them. They are full retail - so no massive bargains, but the stores are beautifully curated and they have lovely things.
@rosiev31299 ай бұрын
The stores were wonderful! You found beautiful pieces. That tablecloth is so lovely! I used to frequent Goodwill but lately I just shop vintage/antique stores. If I'm going to pay higher prices I prefer their environment. Just saying.😊❤

Hello! Sara's Cupboard is located at 155 Meadow Street and Homemaker Thrift is at 4 Brushy Plain Rd. #115 (in a plaza a bit hidden from the road). I hope you have a chance to check them out - they're well worth the effort.
