It's like a gamble, sometimes you win big and sometimes nothing.
I think I'm hooked. Sometimes I drop in just to see what there is.
I used to be anti thrift store cuz I never found anything decent, but now that I go more routinely I have had some success in the "finds" area.
An awesome chaise that numerous friends want, shoes I've picked up for a friend in N. CA, purse that turned me onto a brand that's made in LA -that means Made in the USA! Great shoes that I'm guessing just didn't work out for the previous owner, stuffed toys for my dogs, comforters for my car -because of the dogs, my kids fixation on books means we can fill the need for even less than what I would pay at Changing Hands.
It took some time but clearly I am a fan.
