Marblehead's Gift to Thrift…read more I recently poked around the adjoining rooms at St. Michael's Thrift Shop and found a well-organized selection of bargains. There was (I'm sure it's gone by now!) a brand spank'n new coffee maker, neat stacks of jeans, generous racks of men's and women's clothing, rows of shoes and boots, and the cutest sets of colorful tableware. It doesn't stop there, though. The upstairs houses an incipient collection of home furnishings, anchored by a gorgeous over-stuffed upholstered chair and an antique bamboo table. New merch is coming in daily, so never miss a chance to pop in. You're bound to find something to make you smile! Laura Tamagno

The first floor is storage, but it's cool because they have all these vintage signs that look local to Lynn. The rest of the floors are different vintage businesses that include art, sketches, old timey suits, women's & men's clothes, toys I remember having as a kid, jewelry, old postcards & posters. It's fun to scope out!

Lots of stuff to look at :) Prices are fair and people are nice/helpful. I visit periodically .read more

They are always fully staffed, helpful, organized and always doing something, no one is ever just standing around. If there's stuffed left outside it's because people drop off after business hours. If you want to eat at a restaurant you wouldn't go after hours right? Pretty simple...Cheers!

Very disappointing. Used to love this store. Vast majority of the clothing in the regular section…read more was in meager shape and very outdated. All clothes and shoes that were in decent condition, regardless of brand name were in the boutique section for $20 or more- the section formerly reserved for high end clothes only. I feel this does a great disservice to the community Bootstraps claims to serve- those in need. The community they serve also need clothes in decent condition for work- the new set up makes this unfeasible. The jewelry and housewares are also overpriced for the quality. Though I understand fully the need for revenue to keep the store alive, I think the current approach is off base for the mission of the company.

They're located on the backside of Swampscott Middle School and the friendly volunteers told me that they've been open for four years. They operate to raise funds for the Swampscott school system. This place is awesome - they have mostly clothes for adults and kiddos, with some small home goods and a smattering of other random items. I got some great stuff and all on the cheap - 2 pair of pants, 2 workout tops, a pair of boots, a backpack, and a couple small decorative items, all for about $20. I'll be visiting this store again, and I hope you will, too! Word to the wise, they're only open Wed mornings and Saturdays until 1 and they seem to be cash only (tho I didn't verify this).
