First time going in here and I spent about half an hour looking through the items in the rooms. First I browsed through the handbags and scarfs, then to the glasswares and the other room with jewelry and antique stuff. I cannot afford any of these price I thought to myself this isn’t this a thrift store? I end up buying a glass mug for $1. Didn’t wanna leave the place empty handed. I think the prices are pretty high knowing they’re mostly donated old stuff. Some of the used items don’t really match what they’re supposed to be worth. Diapers that are selling for $10 and it’s old you can buy brand new for less. I mean seriously I was looking at the price tags and talking to myself why it’s price like it is. It’s not a consignment store. DVDs selling for $3 each when they’re obsolete, so people still use DVD players? Department store earrings that are sold on sale for $3-$5 are marked $10-$20 here. I mean they look very ancient to me maybe to others it is rare and one of a kind. Hair care products that are old and used priced as buying a new one. I wanted to buy some of those glass water cups but I’m not paying $4 for each. I could buy 4 brand new pieces for $9.99 at home goods. Mugs with country labels overpriced Starbucks $10 lol. Carpets rugs $8-$15. Thank goodness they don’t sellclothes here. Candles and candle holders ridiculously expensive. I have my eye on that clear tea pot for $10 but I’m not spending $10 on that. I’m a thrift buyer so gotta stick to my budget ?

Entering this historic home containing 3 amazing rooms is like entering a museum with its finely curated assortment of china, glassware, crystal, accessories, lamps, artwork, jewelry, furniture, tools, handmade artistry, and so much more too numerous to mention. One will walk out with an armful as the prices are unspeakably modest for the superb quality offered. This shop is a treasure trove of goods which run the gamut from historic, vintage, one of a kind, rare finds to contemporary. Plan to spend time just looking and recalling nostalgia. The shop offers a special sale each month highlighting an inventory of items brought in each week by generous donors and liquidated estates. There is something for everyone, but definitely a must see. The shop, now under new management, has a unified group of dedicated volunteers with a keen eye for interior design. Each room is staged with a theme of items organized and categorized neatly making it buyer friendly. Please visit a most welcoming venue for old and new and everything in between. Knowing that all proceeds from sales go to St. Gregory the Enlightener Armenian Church is satisfying. This shop has it all but mostly, you will love what you see every Thursday afternoon from 12-4pm and announced monthly Saturdays. It's such a treat!

First and foremost, the women that work there are wonderful. Not only were they extremely helpful, they were so nice. I've read other reviews on a different site that states that it is like social gathering here, I agree it is. But why shouldn't it be, these are volunteers, they should have fun as they work for free making money for the church and community. Some drawbacks, it is only open on Thursday, I was able to go on the one day a year they were open on a Saturday, which is usually during the holiday season. Also, dont be fooled by the older review on yelp, they no longer sell shoes (that's what i went there for) but they do sell Lenox crystal, antique jewelry, art and everyday essentials. I ended up buying four ornate, woven Christmas ornaments for 50 cents (for all 4) and a Limoges, 24kt gold inlay box for a whopping $7.50. No, not everything in the store is that cheap, but if youre treasure hunting, you wont have to look hard, the women who volunteer here are a treasure, the rest is all frosting on the cake.

This place is ONLY OPEN ON THURSDAY. *UPDATE: Had a very pleasant shopping experience here today almost two months later after my original review. Found some goodies and the ladies were super nice and it was much easier to shop here! Although I did notice that they had many of the same items from two months ago and they were not discounted. Wish I would've saw some fresher items. On the positive I got a lot of really nice jewelry for an awesome deal. Original review: So the reason I'm giving this place 4 stars is because my friend and I did find some neat things here for some reasonable prices. It's missing a star because apparently thrift stores in White Plains like to be social hour instead of a place of business. In one room there was entire dinner table with ladies seated at every seat taking up space and chatting like it was Sunday dinner. I found it very difficult to shop in here. I also had another lady following me around and trying to convince me to buy things I didn't have any interest in. Also, some of the prices on things were a little expensive for this being a thrift store. When you have a plate in the window that says 25 cents on the back and when I want to confirm what the price is (I know it shouldn't be .25 cents, but don't forget to take your yard sale sticker off next time) and you say it's $10 because it's special... no thanks. Also some of the things didn't have prices and I hate taking the item up and having someone say a price and it be way too much. That being said, if I'm ever in the area again I may stop in hoping to have a quiet and productive shopping experience.

Its a once-a-week thrift store open on Thursday afternoons. Its a quant shop spread throughout several rooms of a little house on the grounds of st.Gregorys, (across from maple moor golf club). They sell donated goods, some are new. I've mostly bought home goods, jewelry, kitchen supplies, toys and such. Its run by volunteers and their revenue goes towards supporting charitable things - like housing centers and food banks. I've scored some nice things there. Fyi: Its not consignment and they don't deal in clothing. it would be 5 stars if it were open more days.
