I may have personally met each and every wonderful, kind, considerate, and valuable person who has worked and/or volunteered at Soul's Harbor Waxahachie in the past year or so. Everyone has taken pride in a job well done, and they seem as though they are truly enjoying themselves. That makes me {and certainly other clients} feel welcomed and appreciated. Even though I arrived a couple of times carrying a negative attitude and baggage from my life, interacting with such kind and understanding staff, my problems from the day and even the disappointing week were QUICKLY forgotten. I just hope that they forgave ME! ☺️ It is such a joy to go on a treasure hunt in this magical place. Items are changing constantly.
I appreciate the patrons who donate as well! I have wandered in a few times in the past couple of years, and purchased small items here and there, however, it is SO obvious that the fun, attention to details, and ever-exciting atmosphere of late has transferred into not only increased donations, but the QUALITY of merchandise donated these past several months has certainly been OUTSTANDING! I can hardly wait to get my recent purchases settled and placed into our new home so I can show them off to supplement this written review.
So far I have purchased a three-piece dream guest bedroom {a dovetail ensemble from the 1940s that is in the most pristine condition I have ever seen - made even more amazing with the addition of a BRAND NEW mattress and box springs} - so now I need the matching hope chest 😃; I have most of my beautiful kitchen china cabinet displays, and numerous pieces of NEW, QUALITY framed artwork for other rooms throughout our home. I am still crossing my fingers for the ONE "golden egg" item that barely slipped through our fingers one sad Saturday morning, but the early bird deserves the worm! I am confident that another such item will be ours when the timing is perfect. Until then, my hunt for exciting and unique treasures continues. 😍...
Read moreI'd like to say yes it's messy and things sometimes have to be dug through. But I'd also like to say that is a volunteer thrift shop and that there is limited staff. Plus some of the customers that come in make a mess and leave it there for the volunteer staff to clean up. I feel for the store sometimes the customers that come in dig through everything and leave a mess it's unacceptable. I even asked one time they said that most of the time there's a group of people that come in dig through everything and leave a complete and total mess in their wake and the staff is responsible for the clean up. So yes 9/10 times it's because CUSTOMERS leave a mess and. They are too understaffed to stay on top of it. I love going there I can always find something even if I'm just going there to look I don't mind the moving and digging I tend to organize as I go 😌 it's not that hard to leave a place clean
I'd like to add that if your looking for a cool favor for your wedding or a party they always have a ton of glass wear I saw it on Pinecrest once where they gave out glasses and cups for their favors the guest could pick out a glass they liked and that's what their drinks for the party were served in and they took them home at the...
Read moreI am a junk junkie. I love finding unexpected treasure, and this place is on my regular list of hunts. It's not one of those beautiful antique stores where everything is attractively displayed and has nice price tags. Bring your own bag, and start digging! Sometimes they're getting a delivery while you're there & you get first dibs on the treasures. Clothing in big piles as well as on racks. Books. Pots, pans, lots of dishes. Toys. All kinds of collectibles. Furnishings from bed frames to couches, lamps, artwork, frames, chairs and tables. And junk, as well as junque --the nicer stuff. The guys that work there are very nice, really friendly and helpful. Prices are surprisingly affordable. This is a store that supports a worthwhile charity. Give them a try! There are also locations in Dallas,...
