Heirloom Shoppe

It was a very friendly store, not a lot of «finds» and it smells a bit. I have to say the 2 elderly ladies who worked there… I was very concerned for them. One appeared to have early stages of alzheimers as she kept forgeting everything in an alarming way… I was afraid to leave them by themselves. Word to the owners, please HIRE someone to oversee each shift. Don’t be a tightass.

I live super close to this place but have always been too lazy to walk on over. A few days ago I was walking home from work and finally decided to go in. It’s small but it does have a lot of little knick knacks. I only had my tip money so I wasn’t exactly expecting to buy anything fancy. I walked around a bit and the CD section caught my eye, hoping I might find a cool CD in good condition, but I started to read WWJD, Faith Hill, Songs for Him, and I realized there wasn’t much for me there haha. They did have a lot though in case anyone is looking for worship CDs.
Anyway, they have cute little trinkets which is mainly what I buy at thrift stores because I’m not too into the clothes or shoes or anything like that. Finally I decided to buy a little blue bird that was hanging and that was 50 cents. I almost bought a pretty crocheted blanket, but I talked myself out of it.
In my opinion some of the items were a bit over priced but the money is going towards a good cause so I don’t see anything wrong with that, but for you who like dirt cheap things I don’t think you’ll find them here. However this place is very well organized and the woman at the register was very sweet so I’d say it’s worth a try!

«It all started 22 years ago in a quaint old house on Commonwealth Avenue, Fullerton, CA, where a few dynamic individuals put their heads together and decided to make an impact on their community. They wanted to find a way to contribute financial support to the students of Pacific Christian College of Hope International University and so they started a thrift store. The Heirloom Shoppe has provided both student scholarships and funding for significant campus projects.»
Run by volunteers, this is a great place to support!
