Cool store! Prices are outrageous :(

by SummyGirl

This is a very cool store. Lots of great items in wonderful condition but.....

I am obsessed with estate sales and garage sales. I find stuff like this all the time for pretty much 1/10 of the price. This sore is great if you have:

1> No spare time to search

2> Have tons of money to spend

3> Are too lazy to search around for stuff.

Don't get me wrong, I really did like this place but it was horribly overpriced. The set up of the store is fabulous, the items for sale are clean and in great condition and it's just plain fun to walk around. But,

since I like estate sales, craigslist and garage sales, I can find the items for a fraction of the price and have a lot more fun doing it.

• Pros: This is definitely ONE STOP shopping.
• Cons: Way too expensive for mere mortals.

Great place to find mid-century merchandise

by MsElaineES

TFA's new warehouse showroom on Morganford lets them really show off their great collection of 50's and 60's furniture and home accessories. The South Grand location still carries some nice furniture and other items for the home, but now has more room for vintage clothing and personal accessories. Get a pair of vintage eyeglasses and have your prescription lenses fit in them. They look fabulous and cost a lot less than new frames.

• Pros: Fantastic selection of mid-century merchandise
• Cons: Some items pricey

Very cool shopping experience.

Wow, everytime I visit this store it just seems to get better and better. One of the biggest changes they've made is opening a furniture showroom on Morganford. It's got lots of rooms decorated as they would be in someone's home and it really is a great source of ideas. Moving most of the furniture has allowed them store to expand their selection of vintage clothing to cover about half of the first floor, the selection is amazing especially in the men's department. My boyfriend, for the first time, spent more than I did just because he found so much to choose from. All of their clothes are in primo condition and their selection of vintage costume jewelry is huge. Great kitchen selection also, expecially the Pyrex bowls I love and the vintage linens are super. The staff is nice and very knowledgable. Highly recommend it to all as a great shopping experience.

• Pros: Great selection of merchandise and it's all CLEAN, not something you always find in vintage stores.
• Cons: Sometimes tough to park, but hey, it is South Grand.
