| - I can't believe this place hasn't been reviewed yet, it was so much fun to stop in here and hope that it thrives in Phoenix! It was 99 on the April day I stopped by, and there was a small team of people and a dog tending to the garden, steaming second-hand clothes on the wrap-around porch, and organizing things on the shelves. I was there for 20 minutes and was the only visitor, and the owners/workers were super-friendly. (They pointed me towards an out-of-this-world red velvet cupcake sold at a cafe at the end of the block.)
Because I was so curious, they explained that their community garden supplies the farmers market and some cafes (the rhubarb was looking particularly hearty...) which I thought was awesome. I never did get to the farmer's market, unfortunately.
The store itself is small and very cool, with knick knacks and things you wouldn't necessarily look for, belts, jewelry, and vintage clothes at cheap prices ($18 for a cool English tweed blazer, thank you very much). It was fun to look around at the groovy stuff they had out, and I wished another shirt or two had worked out for me. I look forward to returning the next time I'm in town!
