This is one of those times when I debate with myself...should I say something about this place, or…read moreshould I keep it all to myself? Because in the world of thrifting, this place harkens to the old style - jumble of items, packed, run by volunteers for the benefit of a charity. You know, treasure hunts. I love treasure hunts. I'm on my way to downtown Lansdowne one morning and I see a simple wooden A-frame sign: "Re-Purpose Shop". Oooh. Interesting name. Will it be like a Habitat store? Something else? I turn on the side street, then into the parking lot of the church it's housed in. Hm.. No more signs. Well, that door looks logical, so I go in...to an empty hall and kitchen area...but wait, beyond that, some light. Ah! They have two rooms, and have partitioned so one is clothes and the other is 'everything else'. The shelves are packed and there's stuff along the floor too. Roughly categorized, it was so much fun rooting through and finding some cool stuff. The volunteers are very cool, one has a small dog who greeted me with a welcoming sniff, wearing his little doggy Eagles sweater. Aw. Then I was not interesting and he went back to whatever he was doing. This is not a place run by professional organizations under the mask of 'thrift'. It's not neat and super shiny. It's a mad wonderful jumble, and for a treasure hunter it's an absolutely great place to be. They're only open a couple of days a week. I had cash, I don't remember if they take plastic. Benefits the church's programs which include their food pantry.

[618] Driving down…read moreLansdowne Ave I see a sign in front of the Lansdowne First Presbyterian Church that says "Thrift Store" so who am I to pass it up? :) There is plenty of street parking where you can enter thru the front (middle of church) or park in back which you can enter thru the red door (thru hall then store). The small church basement thrift store expanded to another room for good reason. Tons of donations. The second room is stuff with tons of great bargains at a discounted price. The main room is filled with books, kitchen items, house items and a kids corner which is filled with toys and board games. The great prices along with the staff being super friendly is why this rating is a 4. Everytime I stop in I always find a great deal on something. Today it was a $1 under armour sweatshirt and $2 set of 8 pyrex bowls. I always stop in to see what new stuff has arrived and I'm never disappointed. Not many hours but that doesn't stop people. The place was packed. I'll definitely be back and if you're in the area you gotta check out the friendly staff and great prices.

Nice store and nice selection of brands (Anthropologie, Everlane, Madewell, vintage). However…read morethey're not really steals or deals with the pricing. Most things were $24 and up. I asked the store associate about sales and there was one $4 rack with unremarkable pieces. I didn't find the employees to be very warm nor friendly, so after asking about the sales, I didn't bother to inquire further. No hello upon entry. No offer to help, nor questions about if I was looking for anything specific. I was kind of surprised by the lack of warmth, given the mission of this organization. Unfortunately, I doubt I'll return. I highly recommend My Closet Space consignment in nearby Drexel Hill for some pieces that aren't as pricey.

I wanted to bring back a souvenir from this store and asked how much a lamp was. The owner who is extremely nice stated this lamp was in the asylum when it was open and may be carrying some spirits with it lol. She said something of the sort, I am taking some liberties. Anyway, suffice to say I did not buy the lamp but a glass art piece for less then ten dollars to show my support for such a rare and interesting store. I highly recommend you visit as they will give you a tour for free. The owner even gave me a free "fortune teller miracle fish" which I have in my car to this day. As always people SYOY!!!
