2 Friends recently relocated to its new location from 536 Burmont Road, where it shared quarters…read moreand parking with Burmont Hardware and Rex Dry Cleaners (both excellent). Yelp limits a user's categorization of a shop like this one to "thrift stores" but this is less a thrift shop than a high end consignment and gift business with remarkably affordable prices. Yes, you read that correctly: Owner Joanne Rebold is very intentional about her inventory and very price conscious. She understands that moving stock is more important than storing it. That's rare these days, isn't it? The premises are remarkably clean, beautifully well organized and appointed and appropriately lighted. At the front of 2 Friends you'll find an excellent selection of women's, men's and children's clothing, and arranged for convenient browsing. What you won't find at 2 Friends are ripped stitches, tears or moth holes in anything Joanne sells because she's meticulous about condition. To the left of the entrance stands a lovely (and often asked about) china cabinet full of crystal, dishware and fine porcelain. Among today's takeaways were a Beleek china bud vase for twelve (!) dollars, typically priced at $65.00 to $75.00 elsewhere (check Rubylane if you don't believe me). Now, take a deep breath, backtrack and read that sentence again. This sort of shopping find is rarer than hens' teeth on the ground these days. Dig a little more deeply into the china cabinet and you'll find full sets of designer dishware (Pfaltzgraff stoneware, Royal Worcester tea sets), cut crystal (today's visit turned up sparkling Waterford and Wexford sets) and Royal Danish holiday pieces all elegantly presented and priced to sell. Keep walking through this immaculate store and you'll pass designer handbags, vintage women's hats from the twenties and thirties (I counted no fewer than a half dozen cloches, smartly displayed), jewelry, brass, flatware, toys and on and on. You never know what you'll find so stop by often. Joanne's stock changes daily and her consignment traffic is high. What sets 2 Friends apart from so many other neighborhood consignment shops is that Joanne offers high tea for groups in an ever-evolving, ever improving back room. The 2 Friends "tearoom" is already booked weeks in advance for reading groups, local women's organizations and product demonstrations so be sure to make your reservations early because her calendar is filling up quickly. Parking is a little bit of a challenge because meters line the lot out front. However, there's ample free parking a hundred yards past the store on Woodland so keep heading west until you find a spot. 2 Friends is tucked into a row of stores flanking the Drexel Hill Post Office and set in the business district of historic downtown Aronimink. If you're planning a consignment junket to the Main Line remember to add 2 Friends to your itinerary. You won't be disappointed. This is a local treasure owned and operated by one of Upper Darby's leading lights. Brava...

But Broomall has an abundance of the standards, so if you need Yankee candles, cards, or the crowd-pleaser novelties, you are most likely to find them in stock at this store.

They are located in the corner of Lawrence Park Shopping Center, by Five Guys.

But walking in and becoming a customer has allowed me to discover an eclectic emporium of artistic curiosities that's organized and crafted by a cool old couple. I curve to 4 stars just because a lot of the art & craft items inside do yield a bit of a hefty price tag, especially for my favorite Day of the Dead items. But whether you're looking for craft jewelry, something new & exciting to hang on your wall, a new coffee mug, a fancy housewarming gift, and then some; you'll find it here. It's especially perfect if you need to shop for someone as eclectic and quirky as my mom is. PPF also curates a number of the main line artistic events that go on, and does a number of good sales that you'll only find out about off their Facebook and newsletters.

What a great experience!…read more The place is easy to find and there's parking on site! Be careful since the parking lot shows up before the restaurant so be sure to turn in appropriately - assuming the place will be coming up on your right. Inside, it's pulled together like a scene from Alice in Wonderland, with little baskets of things scattered throughout for purchase. It's like having tea in a thematic gift shop. We had a timed reservation and the hosts were ready with our table when we arrived. We had also specified that we are vegetarian, so they adjusted some of the offerings to make sure they were veggie friendly. Honestly, great job not only substituting but making sure it's still a delicious dish by adding in things when other items were taken out! Everything was so delicious and the tea was stellar! We enjoyed the experience and the service and felt we had ample time to enjoy the whimsy of it all. Enjoy your time!

I bought a large three wick autumn leaves candle for $18 it smells amazing. I think the wicks could have been trimmed a little longer as the candle was hard to keep lit at first.

Tons of cool signs, country home items... crochet (knitted ? don't know the difference) .. hand made items .. soaps (lego ones were my son's favorite).. candles... home decorations.. to name a few. There are few spaces out front on the street but best bet is to park in the lot across the street. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Very receptive to my son. Picked up a couple of really cool items. They have seasonal stuff so I will need to stop by often. I'll definitely be back and you should check it out.
