Thrift & Thrive is the new, larger thrift store run by the nonprofit Domestic Abuse Project of…read moreDelaware County. They previously ran Nana's Attic in Broomall (now closed). I stopped by a few days ago to check out their new store. It's significantly bigger than Nana's Attic, which means it feels far less cramped. Yay! Still very good prices, the "yellow tag" items are consignment and generally higher priced than the store's donated stock. It about killed my soul to see an awesome vintage salt & pepper mixed in with newer dishes in a consignment lot. Aaah! Staff are great, the store is clean and bright. I'll definitely be back. Note: angled parking in front of the building is NOT free, Pontiac is a public street, and those are pay at kiosk metered spots.

Since my last review Dishfunctional moved from a warehouse type space to a retail strip mall…read morelocation in nearby Frazier. Their WC space had been sold and was being torn down. FDC and I were in the area so we decided to check out the new digs. The shopping center it's located in is large and has ample free lot parking. The space is bright and open. What we noticed was a change - in the old location there were rows and rows of shelves, with dishes organized by pattern or color. If you were hoping to find a replacement for a broken plate in your pattern, or to add to your set, you could easily do that and chances were, they'd have your pattern even if it was passed down from your great grandmother, who brought it with her to the New World. In the new space there was thoughtful merchandising of items, displayed in settings with style groupings but not necessarily patterns. Saw some patterns scattered in different places, like Kings Crown Ruby Stained goblets. I get it, they compliment lots of styles. Finding 5 of them may involve hunting. The store is lovely and well displayed. We found inspiration and were charmed. It's still a great store, it's more though general shop for amazing dishes and such and less looking for an item in a pattern. In its former format, Dishfunctional filled a need no one else had. Now it's just shopping for cool stuff. We'll still visit, my dish loving heart weeps though for what was lost when some real estate developer decided what West Chester really needed was more "luxury condos" on a semi-industrial area. One other thing - they still have a robust eBay presence so if you are looking for a specific pattern or style, check there. Also Alfred has an encyclopedic knowledge, so ask him about what you are looking for - or if you want to know more about a gorgeous bowl- if he's there.

I couldn't be happier with the service at Clockworks in Paoli, PA. I brought in my antique Ansonia…read moreQueen Elizabeth 8-day wall clock (circa 1890) after the chime spring broke during winding. They estimated a 2-week turnaround but had it ready in just one week! The movement was completely disassembled and cleaned, and both the chime and clock springs were replaced. I received detailed photos of the process and the reassembled clock, which was a fantastic touch. Upon pickup, they gave me a tutorial on proper operation and care. Their skill, professionalism, and attention to detail are top-notch. If you have an antique clock in need of expert care, this is the place to go!

Would certainly give fewer stars if allowed. We were not able to nail down an auction schedule…read moreuntil our estate lawyer reached out to Thom. Quoted dates changes. Thom admitted their team blew out a component of the electrical box, which could not be repaired prior to scheduled close on the property. Had to ask multiple times that the stipulation that the property be left in broom swept condition be put in the contract before this was included. Lots of flippant assurances and little in the way of progress unless the Seller goes through the trouble to verify their work. We had to have our lawyer put pressure to ensure we would have the auction completed prior to our scheduled real estate closing. Not an experience I would want anyone else to have to go through, especially if an estate sale. Several other reputable auction services I wish we listed with, beware!
