First off I must say the staff at Encore are very friendly and funny. If they had a reality show I…read morewould absolutely watch it. I heard about Encore through word of mouth in the community. It's located on the basement of St John's Episcopal Church (across the street from the Shaws). The have ample off street parking and the basement entrance does have stairs. The prices were all very reasonable and every piece they have available is in perfect condition and season appropriate. They accept cash (check and cards are also accepted for purchase over $20). I was able to purchase nearly $75 of clothing and accessories for $26 and the money goes right back to the sellers and the community. Please support this consignment shop and the team of women of who run and sell the items.

The vibe was very friendly, with great music playing and the staff were sociable and helpful. It's not easy opening a business during a pandemic, but I think this one has what it takes. This shop had lots of great vintage clothing and accessories. It is not overly stuffed with items and everything is arranged in an artistic and esthetically pleasing way. I will definitely be back when I am able to spend a little more time browsing and shopping! You can follow it on Instagram at maryjanesboutiqueri.

Alfred's is an East Bay icon for folks of discerning taste looking for unique pieces, and I am glad we stopped in on a recent trip across the bridge. This shop has everything- jewelry, housewares, bed frames, books, clothing, and an extensive selection of holiday-themed goods. We visited in November, and their Christmas selection is plentiful. If you are looking for some cool items to celebrate the festive season, Alfred's is a must visit. The staff was helpful in our many inquiries, and we appreciated their attention to detail and kindness. The pricing varies, however, the items are all very high quality and some items are rare, so you do pay for quality. I would encourage any antique enthusiast to add Alfred's to their list!

A wide variety of product: Furniture, wall hangings, decorative items, clocks, kitchenware, vintage toys, serve ware, holiday items, bicycles, lamps, electronics, signs, books, and so much more! I felt the pricing was very reasonable. The staff working here were very friendly, welcomed me, then gave me independence to walk around to find inspiration in peace. I had a great time exploring. Some areas were a tighter squeeze than others, some items I would have liked some more space to take them in, but overall I was able to get a good view of the things I was interested in. I would definitely shop this location again. Exactly when I return will certainly be assisted by their strong Facebook activity. Looks like they post merchandise regularly to the page. This is helpful because I don't exactly live next door. Getting an idea of their current stock makes it easier to decide to trek on over. This place is a great find! Looking forward to returning.

I totally scored here after brunch on the east bay. Well curated, large children's resale clothing…read moreshop with - get this - maternity clothes consignment too (have yet to find a place that resales maternity clothes). Good note for next pregnancy. I bought a terrycloth baby GAP onesie and a GAP plaid short and onsie comb. Both were half off and cost around $3.50 each. I was in the market for a vibrating chair because our babe doesn't really care for the bassinet we have. I found one made by Boppy that has different music, a plush headrest, and multiple vibrations for only $16. Finally, I did pass on this because I already have a k'atan sling, but I really really wanted another one that was practically new in the box for around $20. I paid $60 new. I always say that I thank God for blessing us with a boy, because I cannot afford a girl. Everything lady-like I see I want to buy. So beware if you have a penchant for purchasing for your little girl - they have about triple the inventory. Owner is really nice - we talked good local brunch places.

I have been eyeing striped pants awhile but this was the first pair that had the quality feel and smart styling that made them worth a trip into the dressing room. Thanks, Sabrina and Nava!

Everything here is beautifully curated, from the clothes to the random knick knacks strewn about the store. It is definitely a place that pays homage to the best parts of a bygone era. You can browse racks of blazers, ties, uniquely bright patterned linen shirts crafted in India (crafted in a material that designers no longer use, apparently), and feel as if you jumped in a time machine and landed in a well-dressed man's walk-in closet in the 1950s. I flipped through pages of someone's old travel journal, documenting their trip by sea to Europe. All in cursive, there was a page that struck out at me: "CAPTAIN'S AUTOGRAPH: E.C. Wiggle". This place is a gem. I now know what I would name my future dog, for sure:). This place is one part vintage heaven, one part history lesson, all parts My Favorite Store In All Of Portsmouth.
