"This small store is well run and easy to find. Plenty of goodies to be found inside, including designer labels and unique trinkets. The volunteers are so friendly and know the store like the back of their hand. How do they fit so much into this space? Added bonus: proceeds go to much-valued volunteer services in the region ($40,000 last year) .. so your retail therapy will really help the community!" - KJ Howe [via Google]
"Wow, I went to this place 4 years ago, and today was even better! $10.00 bag offers to fill with anything except jewelry and back wall vintage. Kathy and Jim are awesome and can not wait to go back. They help so many organizations, so let's help them help others. Found this place on a whim! Well what wonderful bargains and a friendly fun staff! Proceeds go to many many charities! Totally worth the drive to Madison. It's hidden in a tiny strip like mall. Find it and don't forget it! On my go back to every week list!" - Chef G [via Google]

"We were in Morristown for a wedding. While unpacking at the hotel, my husband realized that he forgot his cuff links. So, we searched out thrift shops in the area. Since we were going to Madison for breakfast, we thought we would check out this shop. What a delightful shop with a little bit of everything for everyone. We were especially pleased to find a pair of pearl cuff links for just $3.00 that were perfect for the wedding. The ladies running the shop were very friendly and helpful. If you are in the area do check it out - there is something there for you." - Maggi R [via Yelp]
"Such a gem! Lots of fun little finds. Every time I stop in I always find little knick knacks, clothing and accessories. All the women who work here are incredibly sweet and kind. The place is adorable and the prices are extremely fair. They sometimes have bag sales which brings the prices to even better deals! I love shopping here due to all the proceeds going to charity, really great place!" - Marina A [via Yelp]
