A gorgeous mint maxi dress and cap sleeve blouse and few other items that I left behind, which I was kicking myself when sitting on the plane.

**July 2025: Tuesday Afternoon Visit**…read more This was such a great charity shop to visit! It was a pretty hot summer afternoon so being inside a well ventilated and ac'd store was a relief. The store itself is styled like a boutique and is a long hallway with different rooms focused on different clients (ie. children's section, men's section, active etc). I did feel like many of the women's clothes were geared towards a more mature crowd, but I appreciated the fitting room to try everything on. Unfortunatley, the things I loved were probably meant for juniors/teenagers and were just a tad too small for me *cries* Nevertheless, I found some really great (like new conditioned) random things like a Superman BBQ Apron (perfect for the summer of Superman), and Michael Kors Mary Jane Pumps that will work perfectly for my Wicked outfit that I'm putting together. I didn't know at the time, but I suspect because I visited during the week of July 4th that everything in store was 50% off, which almost felt like highway robbery since everything was already very inexpensive already! My Mary Janes were $10 and thus $4.50 and the Superman Apron came out to $2.50. This is a great clean, organized and well priced charity shop that I'd love to support again on a return visit. Enjoy!

Only open sometimes, blink and you'll miss it. I really enjoyed perusing and taking it all in... they've got some really neat pieces, though nothing jumped out at me this visit as a "must have." And honestly, I couldn't help but feel like everything was priced just *a touch* too high. Totally understand paying for quality antiques in relatively perfect condition, but this spot felt almost like everything was priced $50-$100 above fair market value.

If you're into 50-60's glass, lamps, décor and furniture this is absolutely a place you should be checking out. They've got tons of interesting barware, lamps shaped like flamingos, beer signs for your awesome basement bar and lots of tacky paintings. I was surprised by how much furniture they had - console tables, tons of side chairs and the kind of horribly patterned upholstered sofas that my grandma referred to as "davenports". Speaking of my grandma, I'm pretty sure she owned most of this stuff at some point, especially the matador figurines because bullfighting??? IDK, never could quite figure out what theme grandma had going on in her living room. Anyway, I'd agree with Rachel that the prices on stuff here seem to be higher than at other vintage/antique shops. I'm guessing the high amount of vintage-loving hipsters in BV are driving prices up. Also be aware that the shop is PACKED full, so it's not a great place for smaller kids.
