Here are some of my favorite quotes about thrift shopping that I love!

January 7, 2024/ToniOnThrifting.com/Leave a comment

Happy New Year! I wanted to share with you some of my favorite quotes on thrift shopping! I hope that you enjoy them!

Thrift shopping is all about going into the thrift shop and having no expectation of what you might find.

My mom passed on her obsession of all things antique or vintage. I love to go thrift store shopping or explore any sort of garage sale. Treasure hunting is a family passion.

Zoey Deutch

Thrift shopping is really just an extension of me being that same kid and going into a place that’s completely unconventional that has really endless possibilities in terms of outfits that you can put together and really just expressing yourself.

Macklemore

I love thrift shopping. You can get ten things because everything costs, like, three dollars.

Lorde

I might wear skinny pants one day; I might wear thrift shop pants the next day.

Post Malone

I am a theater girl, and a lot of theater girls dress however pleases them. I wear whatever looks good on me. I wear what I wear because I have been shopping at thrift stores since I was five.

Kirsten Vangsness

The whole thing of clothes is insane. You can spend a dollar on a jacket in a thrift store. And you can spend a thousand dollars on a jacket in a shop. And if you saw those two jackets walking down the street, you probably wouldn’t know which was which.

Helen Mirren

Thank you, Brainy Quote, for the above quotes!

And here are three more:

Natalie Joos
On her advice for new vintage shoppers: “Never shop for something specific. Just browse. Don’t expect to find what you were looking for. It never works. Either go for cool pieces that stand out and are unique (you will keep them longer) or go for the big designer pieces that will last you a lifetime. Don’t buy things you know you will dispose of. Try stuff on. Vintage was made for smaller people. But don’t be afraid to buy things too big. Alterations are common when buying vintage. You don’t want to miss a cool piece just because it’s too big. Too small is not recommended!” —Elle, February 2013

Winona Ryder
“Most of my wardrobe is vintage and I’ve worn dresses to the Oscars that I got for $10. At Sean Penn’s last Haiti gala I wore this vintage dress that I’d worn to a film premiere in 2005. I know that’s kind of a no-no in the fashion world, but why wear something just once if you love it?” —Red, April 2014

Tracee Ellis Ross
“I buy a lot of vintage because, well, it’s AMAZING! And truthfully you can get great stuff for not a lot of money. I have a passion for vintage clothing because of the quality and uniqueness of the pieces (you don’t really have to worry about showing up in the same outfit as someone else). To update some of my vintage finds or sometimes just to make them fit, I have the help of a fabulous seamstress and dressmaker, Daniela Kurrle. She really is stupendous and our collaborations have resulted in some of my favorite dresses in my closet.” —her site, February 2013

Until next time, Happy Thrifting!

Let It Shine Again (L.I.S.A.) Thrift Boutique in Verplanck. Great shopping with proceeds stocking The Pantry downstairs.

November 26, 2023November 26, 2023/ToniOnThrifting.com/3 Comments

I have been to the Let It Shine Again Thrift Boutique at least three or four times and have left happy with some great finds each time. It is not a large boutique but packed with excellent women’s clothes, gorgeous jewelry and accessories, and beautiful household merchandise. The last trip yielded me a Banana Republic skirt and a beautiful Ann Taylor Loft sweater — a classic and elegant outfit. I have done well on each trip to this fabulous boutique. All proceeds from the Let It Shine Again (L.I.S.A.) Thrift Boutique, go to The Pantry, a food pantry conveniently located downstairs from L.I.S.A. The Pantry serves Cortlandt residents on Fridays from 11 am until 3 pm and other local area residents right after.

I spoke to Kacey Morabito Grean, the founder of Let It Shine Again Thrift Boutique. With help from her sister, Maria Morabito, Kacey started a food pantry on January 1, 2019, because she heard some teachers were buying snacks for students who didn’t have them. Kacey and Maria organized a group of volunteers using the basement of Mt. Carmel Hall – in partnership with the Society of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Because the community was so generous- they began to shower their food shoppers with all kinds of good things: clothes – backpacks – and housewares!

The Shiny Nose Room dedicated to Christmas

Kacey often said, “If we only had a thrift store, we could really serve our shoppers”! The overworked volunteers would laugh and tell her to stop with “all her ideas.” One of her “ideas” was to create a nonprofit to fundraise for their work, supporting families and creating events like women’s weekends and vendor markets. Let It Shine Inc. was born in March of 2020.

One of the devoted (and most helpful) volunteers, Nancy with my thrift haul.

And then – Covid hit. They went from serving 60 food shoppers weekly to 125 cars lined up the road. They quickly outgrew the basement of Mt. Carmel Hall. Town of Cortlandt Councilman Frank Farrell was instrumental in getting a generous lease of the original Town Hall building. It has two floors – so they wasted no time emptying their basements and attics to open the L.I.S.A. Thrift Boutique in February of 2021.

L.I.S.A. is open Wednesday through Saturday, and on a good week, it brings in enough to cover the food bill for The Pantry. The bar is very high at LISA. They only take the best of the best donations. They have no storage space and few volunteers, so they must find the easiest way to do things!

Kacey says, “We can sum up our mission in two words. “Ahh” and “Wow.” When shoppers come into our pantry, we want them to feel “ahh”: ease and abundance.” Kacey also wants food shoppers to walk upstairs into the L.I.S.A.; “We want them to feel wow!” Kacey said, “Beauty is the gift that elevates the spirit. Raising the vibration is what Let It Shine is all about.”

Let It Shine also offers free acupuncture treatment to Cortlandt area residents undergoing cancer treatment. This initiative is called “Gracie’s Way. This is just part of the many initiatives that Let It Shine provides. They have a Holiday Market on Sunday, December 3^rd, from 11 am until 4 pm at Mt. Carmel Hall on 8^th Street at Highland Ave in Verplanck, New York. They are helping so many others that I am happy to get the word out so they make more money to feed more families. Kacey is doing a fantastic job, but as more families need help, so does Let It Shine. Your shopping dollars are helping feed families!

The Community Shop in Katonah – the shopping is excellent, and you are helping so many!

November 14, 2023/ToniOnThrifting.com/Leave a comment

The Community Shop in Katonah is a higher-end thrift shop, and it is impressive. They carry women’s clothes, shoes, and accessories. They also have men’s and children’s clothes and shoes. All the better brands are there, and inventory is constantly changing, which I can attest to. But what is more impressive is that all proceeds from the Community Shop go directly back to the Community Center. The Community Center of Northern Westchester currently supports 3,000 Northern Westchester struggling families by providing food and clothing assistance and the programs and resources to support their journey back to self-sufficiency.

I had the pleasure of speaking to Ann Hardy, the manager of the Community Shop. Ann had a consignment shop in Bedford Hills scheduled to close towards the end of February 2019. She donated all inventory (including the racks) from her shop to the Community Center, where all clothing donations are dropped off. She stayed on as a volunteer to help them open the Community Shop just one week later, in March 2019. After two months of volunteering and the shop being a success, she was hired by the Community Center as a full-time manager for the Community Shop. By talking to Ann, you can tell how passionate she is about her work and how the Community Shop’s proceeds go directly back into the community.

The Community Center in Katonah has been helping struggling families in Northern Westchester for over 30 years. All the clothing donations are donated through the Community Center, where there is a clothing boutique and food pantry where families can shop once a month without paying. It is helping families in great need while treating them with dignity and respect. Programs are offered for learning skills and language, among others, to help build a better life for the families they serve. Some other services/programs they provide are career counseling, free eye exams and eyeglasses, college application help, health screenings and flu shots, and citizen exam preparation. The Community Center has also provided comfort to over 600 seniors through food, clothing, and essential supplies.

Ninety-five percent of the clothing donations brought to the Community Center are given to needy families. The remaining small percentage is sent to the Community Shop where it is sold, and the money helps keep the food pantry stocked, programs running, and their doors open to help those in need. If you want to help, clothing is only accepted at the Community Center, located at 84 Bedford Road, Katonah. They welcome donations of clean, gently used, seasonal clothing, shoes, and linens. They accept fall and winter clothing from September through March and spring and summer clothing from March through August. (Unfortunately, the Center cannot accept undergarments, second-hand pajamas, uniforms, bathing suits, books, toys, or stuffed animals.) If you have donations of houseware items, please visit their friends at the Katonah Thrift Shop across the street at 71 Bedford Road in Katonah.

Ann Hardy and Linda, one of the volunteers from the Community Shop

They are currently having a SHARE THE WARMTH drive. During October and November, the Share the Warmth drive collects new gloves, hats, socks, and blankets for children (infants through age 18). They will distribute these items during December. They gratefully accept donations when the Center is open. Please see their Share the Warmth page for details about the program. I have only told you a fraction of what they do – visit their website to learn all they do for the Northern Westchester Community. https://communitycenternw.org/

The Community Shop is located at 196 Katonah Avenue and is open from Tuesdays to Saturdays, 11 AM until 5 PM. The number is 914.401.9163, and Ann Hardy’s email is ahardy@communitycenternw.org. Besides the great shopping at the Community Shop, you are helping the lives of so many families in their time of need.

Until next time, Happy Thrifting!

The Outreach Clothing Sale at the Church of St. Barnabas- One of the most popular sales in Westchester!

November 4, 2023November 4, 2023/ToniOnThrifting.com/2 Comments

The Outreach Clothing Sale has become one of the most popular and well-attended sales in Westchester County. This is because they have high-quality clothing at bargain basement prices. The sale opens to the public on Wednesday, November 8^th, and I assure you that there will be a long line starting early in the morning. It is well worth it to get the best merchandise. I have always found that I get the most for my money at this sale. This sale includes men’s and women’s clothing, shoes, and accessories. It covers a few rooms and has a boutique rack with designer and vintage items. The pictures featured are for next week’s sale!

This is also one sale where the men’s section is just as phenomenal as the women’s. Everything from tee shirts, shorts, polos, long and short-sleeve tops, sweaters, coats and jackets, pants and jeans, and so much more. And when you go, you must visit the shoe section. I purchased some nice boots a couple of years ago.

I spoke to Linda Pierpont, one of the founders of the sale and a parishioner for 34 years. The first sale was in 1995. It has grown significantly yearly, and the sale proceeds have reached over one million dollars. Just a few of the dozens of organizations that have received grants from St. Barnabas include ARC Westchester Foundation, Blthyedale Children’s Hospital, Greenburgh Nature Center, Irvington Senior Citizen Center, New Rochelle Humane Society, Phelps Hospice, Habitat for Humanity, Stephen Siller Tunnels to Towers Foundation and that is to name a few.

Linda said that two of the most significant aspects of the Outreach Clothing sale are the sustainability factor, which keeps clothes out of landfills and gives them new purpose, and the fact that she gets to work with such outstanding people with a common goal in mind of helping the planet and others. Linda also wanted me to mention that donations for this sale far exceeded last year’s donations, and there will be some great finds for all.

If you go to only a few sales a year, I must insist you take advantage of this one!! I hope the pictures give you an idea of what an extraordinary sale this is!!

For those who donated to the sale, the preview day is Tuesday, November 7^th – keep that in mind so next year you contribute to get in that extra day early!!!!

The Dos and Don’ts of Thrift Shop Donations

October 17, 2023/ToniOnThrifting.com/Leave a comment

Knowing the dos and don’ts is essential if you plan to donate to a thrift shop. This will ensure that your donation is helpful and appreciated rather than discarded. Here are some guidelines to help you maximize your donation and benefit those in need.

This is just a general guide meant to help you when making donations to thrift stores. You can best call the thrift store to check precisely what they do and do not accept. In most instances, it is also posted on the thrift store website. The smaller thrift stores have limited hours, so when dropping off, always check first.

I hope you find these tips helpful.

Please do not leave donations in front/back/side of a thrift store out in the inclement weather; it automatically makes the donations unusable, and in large donations like furniture, it can cost a smaller thrift store a fortune to have these items removed. I have heard several stories of mattresses being left and broken furniture, only to have the thrift shop dip into their funds to have items like this removed. Please remember that small not-for-profit thrift stores donate their money back to their communities.

Large donations should be coordinated to ensure a smooth acceptance process, so it is best to call the thrift shop beforehand.

When donating clothing and shoes, please ensure they are clean and usable. No tears, smells, or stains. If it is costume jewelry, it should be ready to wear and not rusty or broken. The same goes for small household appliances; ensure it has all parts and is in working condition. Make sure all bric-a-brac is not chipped or cracked. The critical rule is, would you give the item to someone you care about?

Additionally, wrap any glass, crystal, or breakable in a newspaper so that the person handling it does not get hurt should the item get damaged in transit.

Cosmetics, toiletries, and perfume are generally a no and definitely not if the product has been used.

The best advice I can give you is to call the thrift shop first; it is always better to be safe than sorry.

Until next time, Happy Thrifting!

The Back Door Thrift Shop – Bargains Galore!

August 21, 2023August 21, 2023/ToniOnThrifting.com/Leave a comment

I have another great treasure for you in White Plains. The Back Door Thrift Shop on Greenridge Avenue is a real gem and one that you should visit. They have a variety of men’s and women’s clothing. They carry shoes, housewares, costume jewelry, accessories, home décor, and various other items. The clothing they sell varies from new to gently worn to vintage. The Back Door Thrift Shop has set pricing which to me is a great big plus in any thrift store. I will say that on each visit that I have made, I have walked out with at least two or three items of clothing. They DO NOT sell children’s toys, clothes, games, or accessories nor do they sell books.

What the Back Door Thrift Shop primarily does is price their clothing to accommodate people in the local community struggling so they have a place where they can buy nice clothing at very affordable prices. They also cater to the true “thrifties” like me who love to shop at places like this. The business has been steadily picking up with many of their long-term customers returning and through word of mouth (and hopefully this blog) they will attract a whole new clientele. They have customers that come from Brooklyn monthly (impressive as there is no shortage of thrift shops in Brooklyn) to see what the Back Door’s latest merchandise is.

I was able to sit down with Wendy, Chair of the Thrift Shop Committee who has been a volunteer at the thrift shop for eleven years and a member of the Hebrew Institute for 30 years. We talked about the Back Door Thrift Shop and its history. The Back Door Thrift Shop has been in existence for over 40 years. In 2019, the Hebrew Institute (home of the Back Door Thrift Shop) began a renovation/rebuild and they had to close. They had moved to a temporary location just a few blocks away and then Covid happened, and they had to close the temporary location. The shop was reopened in January 2023 in their completely renovated place (beautiful, spacious, and bright) which includes ground level direct entrance which is ADA compliant. Wendy collaborates closely with Deborah, a former Chair, and other committee members, to create an amazing shop and shopping experience which makes it a great team effort.

Proceeds from the shop are used to support synagogue programs and activities for youth, adults, families, and seniors plus it helps bring in outside scholars and lecturers. They are always looking for donations that can be donated during shop hours. See the website for specific donation details.

I think that you will love the Back Door Thrift Shop so help me spread the word because they are doing so much for so many!

August 17th is National Thrift Shop Day!! Celebrate by shopping at one of your favorite thrift shops.

August 17, 2023August 17, 2023/ToniOnThrifting.com/Leave a comment

August 17th is National Thrift Shop Day. We all know that I think it should be a national holiday. I love my thrift shopping – both shopping and writing about it.

When you shop The Ridgefield Thrift Shop, My Sister’s Place, St. Bart’s, The Back Door Thrift Shop (blog coming soon), Cauz For Pawz, New Canaan Thrift Shop, and countless others, you are supporting PHENOMENAL causes and helping change countless lives. Not to mention that we are helping save the planet by keeping clothes out of landfills. “Reduce, reuse, and recycle” is my motto.

In honor of National Thrift Shop Day, here are some quick tips for thrift shopping. Although this blog is a repeat, there are some new tips included.

Be friendly and ask the staff when the most new merchandise is put out.

Be kind when thrift shopping, most of the people who work at charitable thrift shops are volunteers, and they have already spent hours filling the racks. If you put items back, put them back on the right rack.

Know your labels and brands – know what to invest in for your basic wardrobe pieces and what to buy for fun.

Don’t buy something just because it is a name or designer brand; make sure you love the piece and will wear it. More often than not, you will not wear it if you are buying it by name.

Remember, if you buy an item and it needs alterations, the alterations can cost two to three times what you paid. Choose wisely when buying a piece that needs to be altered.

The smaller thrift shops sometimes have the best buys.

ENJOY the hunt, and know that you may not always find something. Just keep going back when you find a thrift shop you love.

Merchandise is also very geographical, so go out of your own area, and you will be surprised at how different (in a good way) the merchandise is.

I have recently heard from many thrift store managers that people are dropping off unusable merchandise. Please know that some smaller thrift shops have to pay to have garbage hauled off. Please only drop off clean and in good condition items.

I hope you find these tips helpful.

The Briarcliff Congregational Church Rummage Sale on April 29th

April 18, 2023April 18, 2023/ToniOnThrifting.com/Leave a comment

The Briarcliff Congregational Church Rummage Sale is growing in popularity by leaps and bounds. Every year attendance is more than the year before, and they expect this year to be no exception. The line starts forming well before 8 am for the 9 am start.

I spoke to Penny Wolf, the President of Briarcliff Congregational Church Women’s Society, which runs the Rummage Sale along with Janet Moulton and Helen Buerger, part of the Rummage Team, which organizes all aspects of getting the sale off the ground. Preparations start three to four months in advance, and it takes a whole week (and numerous volunteers) just to set up the space for the one-day sale.

The main floor is men, women, and children’s clothing. All items on the floor are under ten dollars and under and many, even less. They have a separate boutique section for shoes and handbags. They have a Nearly New Women’s Room with high-end clothing, and those prices are more than reasonable for designer merchandise. They have an incredibly popular jewelry section in their own room, and this year there will be more sterling silver than ever. Toy and games are back this year and are always a big hit. There is a separate room for linens, including comforters, blankets, curtains, and much more. They also have another room for fine China and collectibles. There is a white elephant tent sale outside with small furniture and household items.

The community comes together for this sale with many volunteers, and they have become known as the “Rummage Angels.” These volunteers show up year after year, and they now bring along a friend or family member, so the group is growing and much appreciated by the Rummage Team.

All proceeds benefit the church and community members in need of help. The proceeds also benefit many local charities, including IFCA (Interfaith Council for Action), New Beginnings, Juvenile Diabetes, Hope’s Door, and Hudson Valley Hospice, to name a few.

Helen provided me with pictures from last year’s sale to show you how big this sale is. I know I will be there this year, and I look forward to becoming a volunteer. I think this is going to be one incredible sale! Don’t miss it!

The Turnover Shop in Wilton, Connecticut – I can’t wait to go back!

March 29, 2023March 29, 2023/ToniOnThrifting.com/3 Comments

What makes The Turnover Shop different from other thrift shops is that they consign clothes as well as sell donated clothes. This makes The Turnover Shop a well-visited destination for thrift shop lovers. Located in the center of Wilton, CT, and open six days a week, Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 4 PM and Saturday from 10 AM to 1 PM, it continually gains popularity and has a high turnover rate. They carry a full line of women’s, men’s, and children’s clothing, shoes, antiques, housewares, games, books, jewelry, and small furnishings.

I went through racks and racks of clothing and found a beautiful sweater, jacket, and a couple of other household items, and I spent at most $30. They also happened to have a phenomenal sale, which made it easy. The shoe selection alone was too tempting, not to mention the jewelry and accessories. I know I was not alone because the store was crowded during my visit.

I had the pleasure of speaking to Sharon Sobel, the President of the Turnover Shop. She told me that what makes the Turnover Shop special is that customers who consign can donate the proceeds of their sales to a non-profit of their choice if that organization opens a consignment account to receive the funds. It is a great way to support a favorite local charity. The Turnover Shop donates proceeds from their store sales to many organizations, such as the PTA of Wilton, Visiting Nurse & Hospice, CT Humane Society, and ABC House, to name a few. All the volunteers love working at the Turnover Shop and look forward to their shifts there. I had a lovely visit with Sharon and saw the store. You can see that they have a very loyal customer base, and people are happy to shop there and are friendly with the staff.

Here is some history from their website: Founded over 75 years ago by a group of volunteers dedicated to serving the community’s needs, The Turnover has kept that tradition of service and generosity alive as we have evolved to help each generation. Our hard work reflects every lifestyle and fashion, and our current team of over 130 volunteers remains committed to the prospect of always being creative and innovative. Thousands of satisfied customers continue to validate their hard work.

A visit to the Turnover Shop should be on your must-see thrift shop list.

Women’s Club of White Plains – their pop-up sales are incredible!

November 27, 2022December 2, 2022/ToniOnThrifting.com/Leave a comment

The Thrift Shop in White Plains had been in continuous operation since November 11, 1918. It had been the oldest thrift shop in New York State, possibly in the country. The idea of a Thrift Exchange, as it was called, grew out of the national desire to reuse and recycle items to aid the war effort. The original Thrift Exchange was held in the Tod Market on the corner of Court Street and Martine Avenue. The building is still in existence. In 1923 the Thrift Shop moved to a barn behind the old Preudhomme residence on Church Street. It remained at that location for 50 years until finally moving to its final place in the White Plains Presbyterian Church on North Broadway. The Shop was a 501c3 entity jointly owned by the Woman’s Club of White Plains, the Scarsdale Woman’s Club, and the Hitchcock Presbyterian Church in Scarsdale, with proceeds donated to local charities. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Thrift Shop of White Plains was forced to close its doors and was disbanded in 2022. The Woman’s Club of White Plains will continue the Thrift Shop of White Plains tradition and operate out of its clubhouse at 305 Ridgeway in White Plains. Credit: https://www.womansclubofwhiteplains.org/about.html

The Woman’s Club of White Plains has pop-ups throughout the year and a regular shopping day on Tuesdays from 10 am until 12 pm. Their next pop-up is on Saturday, December 3rd, from 9 am until 1 pm. The selections are all high quality and priced to sell. I cannot emphasize enough that these pop-ups are not to be missed. As for me, I have purchased some fantastic pieces that have become favorites in my wardrobe. Prices start at $4.00 (yes, $4.00) and upwards for the regular shop items, with high-end/boutique items more than reasonably priced. They also carry shoes, men’s and women’s winter clothing, and accessories. They have beautiful housewares and hosting serveware not to be missed. They will also be carrying high-end Christmas décor at the pop-up. The pictures shown are from one of their most recent pop-ups.

The volunteers are incredible, friendly, and helpful. They arrange areas for you to try on clothes (a major plus) and are devoted to raising money to help people in need in White Plains. I recently spoke to Judy Korman, Chair of the Thrift Shop and Marking, and I commend her on the great work the Woman’s Club of White Plains is doing and ALL the local charities that benefit from the work of these incredible women. Some of the previous recipients of their philanthropy include the White Plains Library, the YWCA, victims of domestic violence, and so many others.

There are also some fantastic and fun events to promote the thrift shop. They recently hosted a Sip & Swap where you can bring clothes and accessories to donate and take home donated items. They provide drinks and bites; if you are not a member, the great price is $10.00 for entry. I missed the last one but planned on being at the next one.
