I love a church thrift store and this one is especially welcoming thanks to muralist Carol Makris of Artistic Brushworks. Members of First Presbyterian Church of Sebastian found her on the internet and hired her to spruce up the exterior of their thrift store. Their only requirements was for it to be colorful and that it would make people smile. Carol came up with a cheerful seaside cottage concept. It is so fun to look for all of he details in the mural like a calico cat staring longingly at a cardinal in a birdbath, a monarch butterfly, and beautiful flowers. Trove of Blessings Cottage was dedicated on July 18th, 2024 as part of the Mural Trail Project. The thrift store consists of the main buildings and two outside sheds with further discounted items. They sell clothes, accessories, shoes, art, housewares, books, and collectibles. Clothing had additional markdowns and the other prices were inexpensive. Stop by and find a treasure while supporting a worthy charity.

Plus, customers are NOT allowed to use their restrooms. One of the women who works there told me to get a large dress, put it on over my clothes.

That would definitely make me look like the thief they are so paranoid of. In my opinion, this place is no longer a friendly, comfortable place to shop. I believe everything is donated. Why the paranoia and distrust of your customers?

This thrift store has several rooms of gently used home goods, toys, clothing, accessories, holiday decorations, linens, pet supplies, and more. Everything I saw was well priced and additional sales during my visit offered an extra 20 percent off handbags and wallets and 20 percent of pants, shorts, and skirts. A sign requesting people to remain dressed in the clothing room cracked me up. Know you are on camera so keep those clothes on. It is not a dressing room.

Short version: not accessible or safe for children, people using walkers, wheelchairs, or canes…read more This store is not related in any way to the recently closed Peddler's Village stall up on US1. Because it is new, a good 25% of their stuff is still in boxes or teetering perilously. I'll visit again in a couple of weeks to see if it has better handicapped access. No A/C. Stuffy. The assortment of curio cabinets, china cabinets, and shelving up front is very well organized and easy to see, BUT if you like to poke, rummage, sort, dig, dive and tunnel - this is your new paradise! There are lots of picture frames and actual artwork (mostly prints, some originals), a plethora of crystal vases/dishes/glassware, hundreds of little decorative bears and animals (Boyd's? not my area of expertise). Some of the china is in sets and labeled with its type/setting/collection (?). The store is loosely organized by area - furniture, crystal, art, Christmas, tools, crafts, books, music, etc. The biggest category right now is STUFF. Against the back wall (trade X damage to get there) is fabric and crafts, to the right of that is books, and to the left is Christmas items. The tool & hardware area is dangerous wasteland full of sharp items arranged for maximum lethality. Hardhat required for your safety (not really, but if you have one, wear it). There are fishing poles, recip saws, circular saws, tons of wrenches (no wenches), hammers, and pliers, etc. The middle of the store is a mish-mash under the category of EVERYTHING ELSE. If you have a high tolerance for dust and must, you could spend hours poking around. I have dug around the best (and worst) thrift shops in the area, and this was too much for my tolerance. Considering I have endured places that smelled of compressed dead rats (now out of business, thank God), I could deal with the best of them. However, this one defeated me quickly. Why did I rate it highly? Because I am gracious in awarding extra stars for cool stuff in new places that I hope will finish unpacking and run an air purifier for a decade. Give me a month or so, then check back for an updated review. Until then, enter at your own risk.

So, since I am no longer traveling full-time around the country in an RV and I have since settled…read moreback down in an oceanside home here in Indialantic, I decided to get back into surfing. I grew up surfing along this stretch of coast, from Sebastian to Cocoa. It wasn't long before the ocean was calling me, I would wake up in the middle of the night and hear the waves pounding, dolphins waiting. I began looking for surf shops on Google Maps, reviewing them on yelp, trying to avoid tourist type stores who mainly specialize in selling as many T-shirts and bathing suits and beach towels as possible. I was looking for a small local business, not a chain, who specializes in surfing, and similar water sports. Many years ago I bought my first surfboard at the 'Quiet Flight' surf shop in Cocoa Beach, Yes I love Ron Johns, but 'Quiet Flight' is the small more personable business tucked away in amongst neighborhood homes along the avenues. So I noticed this little obscure dot on the map, fairly nearby, called "FoamWorx surf boards" ( Full name being 40 Toes FoamWorx ). I decided to pop over and take a look. When I arrived I entered and met Matt Tatum. He's the owner of this little neighborhood establishment. Actually I found later the shop is not that little. After chatting with Matt I found him super personable and genuine, we rambled on back-and-forth about our military days, state of the union, religion, politics, babies, and then surfing! Lol Love this place already. Matt is a professional surfer and has surfed waves from Florida to Hawaii, known by many. Then he got into actually crafting surfboards. He could see I was intrigued by this, and immediately began giving me the tour through the door in the back and out into the big shop. Filled with surfboard "blanks", all kinds of sawhorse stand type of setups used to hold surfboards while he shaves, forms, and coats these babies until they emerge as a glassy gem waiting to be adopted by a new owner who will take them out and make them an extension of their own body uniting with the ocean waves. He had separate rooms for different phases of his craft, and probably most impressive was his 3-D CNC machine, huge, well it has to be huge to accept surfboards of all sizes! Back in the show room I met his wife Jill, and beautiful kids. Everyone so friendly, we enjoyed great conversation and lots of laughs. Talking surfboards, I told him I was interested in a longboard, but I need it to properly fit me in regard to my size and weight obviously. He happened to have one in the show room, already waxed. He insisted I take it out, 'take it around the block a few times' that he knew it is the perfect size and shape for me. He Attached a leash and a fin, helped me load it into my SUV, and said go have some fun and let me know how you like it. Holy cow, this is not a cheap surfboard, and he just pushed me out the door with it to go ride it lol. You won't find this type of personal business at Ron Jon's fyi. So I did, I could tell I was out of practice, and anything that did not work right was my fault, but I could tell that this was the type of board I wanted. Wow, was my heart pounding again to be back in the salty waves. I returned the next day, and brought back his longboard, minus one fin lol. I told him I had no idea where the fin went, I didn't have any major crashes, only noticed that I started surfing sideways at one point. He laughed, I have plenty of fins! After much more great conversation and laughs, I decided to go with a brand new longboard identical to the one I just rode, but this one was new and unwaxed, and had a totally cool paint scheme designed by him, signed by him, and named "Zeppelin ". Sweet. He gave me a great price, I also ordered a board sock, and leash. I also needed the cross bars for my luggage rack on top of my SUV. He took it upon himself to order those for me as well, custom for my vehicle. A few days later Jill called me, and left a message that all my stuff was in and ready to go. I showed up the next day, and Matt had everything set aside. He was in the back working on some boards for some other customers, and stopped what he was doing. Matt began attaching the leash and fin, he showed me the luggage rack parts (Thule) he had ordered, so we stepped outside into the blazing sun and he started installing the surfboard rack to the top of the car as I helped. Again, what other main stream surf shop would go through all of these efforts to take care of just one customer? ( rhetorical) I couldn't thank him enough, and the family had become fans of my YouTube channel, so I promised to come back and do a YouTube video of them and his shop and his process, his craft, of creating surfboards. I feel it is so important to get someone like him, his work ethic, his craft, his business, his experience out and more open to the public, local and afar. He deserves it, and his customers now and future, deserve him.
