Orphelin

If McThrill wasn’t on a budget he would of walked away with a three piece suit, a vintage smoker’s jacket, a few snazzy shirts, and a couple old school books. So instead I settled on some of those books and made note of where to go the next time I feel the need to treat myself.
I remembered Orphelin when it was Funhouse. and when It changed the name I must have walked by it a billion times thinking that Vintage was gone from this street for good. But reading Adam C.‘s review was like hearing a thunder bolt of recognition. And Orphelin is indeed a house of treasures that are indeed pretty hard to resist. Vintage Clothes check. Vinyl score. Books, dishes, and then some all in. throw in the fun and engaging sales people and it’s perfect.

TRUE LOVE.
That is all I have to say about this shop. I was crushed when I heard the news that the Funhouse was closing its doors, but the woman who runs Orphelin has made this shop even better with its new name and newly organized space. The Funhouse was, well, FUN… sure. But I always got so overwhelmed when I went inside to browse or shop. It was jam packed with so much great stuff that I couldn’t stay focused, and because of the garage sale-​esque set-​up I could never decide what I wanted to buy. I never have this problem in Orphelin. Sure, it’s still packed with amazing vintage threads and what-have-you’s, but you’re able to get a good look at everything by just taking a few minutes to walk around the store and check it out. Some things may be a bit on the pricey side, but I can justify this because Orphelin’s merchandise tends to be in really great shape. I highly recommend this little shop to anyone who adores vintage *everything*.

Again this was once the Funhouse and it still is just as fun as the newly remodeled ‘Orphelin’. Tara runs this awesome antique/​boutique/​vintique/​unique/​nomorequesplease, which means French for ‘orphan’, DUY!
The people that brought you the Gleaner’s Café had a hand with it. Please stop by and check out the oldschool shirts in the back or browse all the other stuff that will bring back days of a simplier time…
…with no interweb and cellphones and such.
So if you house or apt. is missing that certain something that needs to make guests go,
«Where did you get this ‘Smurfs’ lazysusan?»
or,
«My GAWD! I didn’t think these actually exist, but only in those black and white movies! ROTARY PHONES!»
(GASP SOME MORE. Then finally pay the man.)
…this is the place for all these things.
Though I doubt you’ll find a «Smurfs’ lazysusan’ but I did purchase a shirt that says «Camp HayCock» on it circa 197X. So anything is possible.
