There were various businesses as well; music lessons, yoga studio, hair salon, barn door refurbishers, massage therapy, acupuncture, various of other shops. Kismet Co. Is a lovely metaphysical shop located in there; they sell herbal tea, oils, art, jewelry, soaps, books, crystals, and other items. The antique items were plentiful and unique. The building is historic and very cool to see all the old remnants of the axe factory. Parking lot was a decent sized. Lisa's Crown and Hammer is located on the same lot and the Farmington Trail. If you're into antiques, thrifts stores, and yard/tag sales; you will love this place.

I saw racks and racks of men's and women's clothing, shoes, accessories, footwear, household goods, dishes, and kitchen equipment in the front of the store. In the back of the store were CD's, record albums, thousands of books, collectibles and pretty much everything. I even saw three Pez dispensers with likenesses of former presidents. Much of the inventory is what I'd call vintage, which is a code word for "old". Those items may not be for everyone, but if you're into old dishes, bric a brac, dolls, China, wall hangings, glassware, jewelry, furniture, and lamps, well Favarh might just be what you're looking for. Today was 50% off day, and I scooped up two ties marked at $2 each for a grand total of $2.13. You might find a thrift store out there with better quality merchandise, but I'm not sure you'll find one with as much stuff as I saw here. And since their proceeds go to charity, it's well worth your time to check out their stock and see what bargains appeal to you.

The employees there are volunteers. Once I walked in, it looked like a boutique. Clothes, shoes, and cutlery/china were in the front area. Everything was organized by size and color. I immediately found a Vineyard Vines sweater that I loved for $12. They have sales based on color of the day/week; I would ask the employee for that information. In the back section, they had household items, books, and miscellaneous items. You can also sign up for their free rewards card; you gain points from every purchase and that adds up for future discounts. Overall, a great thrift store and I look forward to shopping there.

Ralph Lauren shirts for $32.50, Nikes and Pumas for $50+, etc. While strolling around I checked out a few prices and told my wife I just saw a dress stickered for $500, she laughed and said "big deal, I just saw one for a thousand." So you get the idea, right? The store was very neat, well organized, and very full of inventory. High end inventory. A lot of these posts complain about rude staff encounters, well we encountered no rudeness, we also encountered no interaction at all, not even a greeting when we walked in or an offer for assistance. Maybe you'll walk out with a few high-end treasures here.

Here's my list: 45 RPM vinyl singles 33 RPM vinyl albums Eight track tapes Cassette Tapes Compact Disks Digital Downloads As the state of musical technology changed, it left music lovers with a dilemma -what to do with our old purchases if we don't  listen to them anymore in their original format? Years ago, I pitched my cassette and Eight Track tapes (Trouble Man by Marvin Gaye and Superfly by Curtis Mayfield were personal favorites). But I have hundreds of LPs and CDs and really didn't know what to do with them. Until now. Today I sold four of my albums to the Trading Post as a test, and I was very happy with the results. I will be going back with more of my LPs and CDs. I exchanged e-mails with Elise, and then met her at the store and she couldn't have been more personable, helpful, professional, and just plain nice. Trading Post is most interested in 1960's-2000's rock,  reggae, and metal genres. They inspect your records for quality, their inventory and pricing data and give you an offer in either cash or store credit. She researched my four albums while I wandered around the store.  It's crammed with records, CDs, video games, tie dye everything, posters, shirts, blankets and smoking accessories. Elise made me a very fair offer, and that was enough for me to know I'll be back with my CDs and vinyl after the Holidays.

Most Goodwills or Thrift stores are a gamble. I've been to the Avon location many times over the…read moreyears, while I haven't found the great Picasso masterpiece, this is a pretty solid store. This Goodwill isn't the largest, it is still a nice size. Their clothing is sorted by size and by color. The books could be much better organized. If the kid's books, and at the very least "adult" books could be on separate shelves it would make browsing a lot easier. It is worth a look as most will run you $1.99. One of the things that makes me a bit sad is when I find someone's grandma in a framed portrait. You won't be finding my grandma's picture at any Goodwill. Another thing that I'm a bit confused about, is whoever gets rid of handmade pottery. They all have their names engraved on the bottom. These are very unique and likely made in high school, then given to Grandma. On today's trip I found a very cute plush bird. I have a few of these birds in my office. This Goodwill is fairly priced and it has fitting rooms.

KINDEST WORKER I'VE EVER MET…read more Some of my friends and I recently went to goodwill and had the pleasure of meeting William. He is the sweetest cashier we've ever meet. He was cheerful, friendly, and humorous. One of the items I was checking out didn't have a tag. While another kind worker, David, quickly solved the problem, Will talked to us the entire time. Even though the store was closing soon and most workers would be rushing to get customers out, he didn't make us feel like a burden. We will be back very soon in hopes of seeing him!!! :) Chloe, Avery, Alexa, & Brenna
