Omg where has this place been all my life! What a great store!! And second hand in regards to…read moreclothes you would never know it! Brand name clothes and the prices are beyond amazing. A wide variety of clothes, shoes, household, movies, games and books. A must see if you don't mind a little searching but it is totally worth it. The staff were very friendly and helpful when I needed assistance. Such a great second hand store I want to go back tomorrow and I'm an hour away haha

I like this second hand store. The prices are super cheap plus all the money goes directly to their…read morecharity. They also frequently have sales based on the coloured tag of the day, so you often pay even less than you think you will. They've also opened some kind of "side door" that's open 10-2pm I believe every day. I'm thinking this is access to their furniture in the back room, but I'm not super clear on that.

Back in Carleton Place, ON this afternoon and thought I'd pop in at Thrift King on Franklin St. I…read morehad things to donate loaded in my car since the weekend and with a cloudy day, what better way to spend a few hours than looking for something special at my favourite op-shop. I was actually hoping to find a shower curtain to update mine but nothing struck my fancy. Since I was in the mood for looking at household items, I browsed the kitchenware section and then noticed the clothing rack at the front of the store. If you are doing Zoom meetings or engaging with family members on Skype or other apps, you know that you are always in need of colourful tops--blouses, T-shirts, sweaters, and of course, scarves. Light, frothy tops layered over a camisole are perfect for summer Zooms and as when the temps cool in the evening, a long-sleeve, form-fitting spandex garment can be worn underneath. O la la, c'est très chic!. Along with several blouses, I noticed a boho bag that looked as if it might be from the sixties. Then, as I was rushing out the door to dash between the raindrops, my eye caught a multi-strand, copper necklace. The jewellery section is sort of hidden along a wall near the coffee cup section and might be a bit tangled from my last visit but well-worth a looksee.

I'm not asking that you follow people around the store, but you should at least say hello when customers come into the store. At the very least, it can be a deterrent to shoplifters, at most it will make customers feel welcome. Do better.

So I love going to this Laura/Melanie Lyne because in addition to selling the current season's…read moreitems at regular price, they are also an outlet. They have items from previous seasons at lower prices and I've found some really good deals here. They also have a small selection of off-season items, so if you need a pair of shorts in the dead of winter or a coat in the middle of summer, you might find what you need here. They have a huge selection of regular sizes, petites and plus sizes. They have mostly business attire, but they also have casual wear and evening gowns. I love how I can actually buy evening gowns here off the rack and not need any alterations (albeit only from their petite line). So all you short and slim ladies (e.g. 0P and 2P) who have a hard time finding formal wear that doesn't require paying an arm and a leg for alterations, this is the place for you. Selection is not that great for these very small sizes, but I have purchased many gala dresses here (and a fraction of the regular price). This location also carries a good amount of Joseph Ribkoff, Frank Lyman and Katherine Barclay. Although they usually start at size 8. So great for normal sized people, but not for those wee like me :( I will be the first to admit that many items at Laura/Melanie Lyne are matronly and frumpy, but they also have some more fashionable pieces (although I guess "fashionable" is in the eye of the beholder). I go here often so I can swipe up those pieces at a good price. They have fitting rooms both at the front and at the back of the store. There are washrooms at the back (in with the fitting rooms). This Laura/Melanie Lyne is in a strip mall, so there is a lot of free parking.

It's a testament that this isn't their first rodeo, as the saying goes. Our old couch, that has gotten a lot of use from 2 kids, and plenty of adult naps was in need of some TLC. Tempting as it is it just put it by the curb, and get something new, the prices of new furniture of similar quality is outrageous, and certainly isn't built as well as what we have now. Fleshers is close to home, the price quoted for the service was very reasonable, and - because this ain't their first rodeo - the turnaround time is insanely fast. That's the difference between them and another company that may be bigger and "better" because of name recognition as a result of marketing and advertising. Word of mouth advertising is where it's at, and has always been a better indication of quality than anything else. Plus, supporting a family owned local business is priceless.
