Needed to fill some time between appointments while we were in CR and happened upon this cute thrift store! Everything is displayed so well which makes it so much easier to see everything available. The ladies running the counter were very approachable and attentive to their guests, which isn't something I'm used to when thrifting. You can find something for everyone here!
