Appointment timing gave us an opportunity to wander through the Fraser Valley last week. Started at Cloverdale and worked our way to Chilliwack.
Three new thrift shops to list though we only visited two, and the demise of one of these is imminent.
The new one is the Thrift Barn of the Horse Protection charity where 222nd and 224th Streets meet in Langley SE of the city. Didn't as it is only open Thursdays to Saturdays. Lot parking.
Heading to Chilliwack on Airport Road between Yale and Young is another Hidden Treasures shop of the M2W2 prisoner peer counselling society. This shop took over an existing private one. All the various items except furniture. Lot parking.
We've long known about a SPCA thrift shop in Kelowna but don't head out its way anymore but made a special visit to this branch at Casorso and Benvoulin directly opposite from the SPCA. This store is in the ALR and was a produce stand called the Tomato King before it became among other things including an Asian crafts import store. It became a thrift store some 4 years ago but was ordered to close recently as it was solely involved in non-agriculture activities which is not allowed on ALR land. Last day was 22 October. Great as they had a 50% off sale and we got a good haul. SPCA store sales will be concentrated at the remaining store in Rutland which is good for us.
