4 reviews for St Vincent De Paul
I like this St. Vinny locale - I don't know why - but I have always liked it, it's old, but it's got a lot of good, cheap junk. And if you don't mind digging you can find some gems! Just last week I got an almost brand new set of pastel oils for 99 cents!! The same day my friend found one of those cast iron dinosaur cake pans from Williams Sonoma here for $6 - c'mon now, you gotta admit that is a smokin' deal!!! The same day we also found an old irish linen tablecloth for less than $20 - how can you go wrong???
And, I just have to mention this - we gave away these pins at my work for some cause - they had one in the 'collectible' case - entertainment like that is priceless!
Plenty of parking - after you can go over to Bastyr University and have a healthy lunch or the bowling alley (Kenmore Lanes) and have a not-so-healthy lunch.
Arrrgghhh....noooo....uggghhh
That is the sound of me wrestling over whether I should share this gem of a thrift store with others or horde all of the goodies to myself.
Clearly the little angel on my shoulder won this battle.
Seriously, best thrift store around. It's just far enough out of the city that things aren't all picked over, but it's not so far out of the city that you end up with a bunch of cheap crap. Sure, you've gotta dig, it's a thrift store after all, but this one has a lot less digging than others.
Things I've found at this thrift store include:
A Barbers Chair!
A scale from the 40's that looks like it was designed by Chrysler.
A glass plate with bamboo inlays.
Vintage fabric that will never be made into that project I've been mulling over but was quite the find nonetheless.
Old Time Life magazines.
Books.
Plus, all the proceeds go to charity. Isn't that worth something little angel?
Well, there is no longer any point in keeping this quiet :) This is one of my clothes shopping haunts.
Seriously, used clothes are best. Guys throw them out when they don't fit and there is lots of good stuff, as long as I don't baloon out like the general population.
On the rare occasion I need to wear a tie, why would I want to pay full price when there are lots of ties here for a buck or two a piece?
Womens clothes - well, since you gals wear something once and donate it - what better place to shop than a thrift store and this one has profits going to charity.
i must say one of my favorite shopping spots lately. it is a tad organized but ever since i found the section of sample sale snowboarding items i've been hooked. i've found volcom shirts, empire jackets(2)!!! and volcom snowboarding pants. all brand new. maybe an x thru the tag but they have so much new stuff here that i was able to get numerous sweet boarding outfits this season for close to nothing. lots of furniture and kitchen stuff as well but u gotta dig.
doesn't hurt that best friend espresso is in the parking lot. purchase and a crotch shot with ur coffee in one stop. sold!
