There's treasure everywhere



First victim: A thrift store in Sioux Falls I have (shockingly!) never patronized.
Volunteers of America is located at 217 N. Nesmith Ave. in Sioux Falls.

Greatest feature: VoA was loaded with totally excellent features: first off, they have decor, which is refreshing. They obviously took time to spray paint the baskets wondrous colors and make darling decorations on the walls. I approve. They have a grand selection of wedding dresses (not from the 17th century!) and all under $100, along with many attractive formal dresses. They plug in all plug-in-able things to make sure they work, and they wash all their bras and undies before reselling them in a very righteously painted dresser.

Weirdest thing found: The righteously painted dresser chock full of used bras. And a gypsy Barbie they refused to sell.
Organization: Set up well.
Contents: Shoes! Appliances! Wonderful mugs! Kitchenware! $1 racks galore!
Price: Perfectly acceptable. Those smashing boots were $1(courtesy of a store-wide 50% off sale).
Exotic meter: Multi-colored walls bumps up their exotic meter to moderate.

  1. Hey you girls should check out Feels Like Home, on the street N of MN Ave HyVee in Sioux Falls next to the Lutheran School. Everything from furniture and lampshades to kitchen goods and vintage jewelry. I think you'll love it!
