We compliment our furniture with carefully chosen new and gently used homewares to offer you a sustainable lifestyle store. We believe strongly that you do not have to spend a fortune to have a beautiful and stylish home. We live the thrifty life but don't compromise on quality. I also love to source designer and quality high street branded clothes to sell on at affordable prices. I am a strong be

liever in sustainability and quality over quantity. It is possible to have a wardrobe of stylish and beautiful clothes without paying a fortune for them. I only sell perfect condition items.

I've been putting this off for sometime but unfortunately now seems like the right time. I've taken the decision to close my shop, it's not something I've done lightly as it's been an amazing three years meeting so many new people, many of whom have become good friends.

I have just reached that stage in my life where I need to have more time for family and time for home and my other projects. I have been overwhelmed by how successful the shop has been and the loyalty of so many people to shop independent and local, Heavitree is an amazing community of people and I'll be forever grateful for your support.

Thank you to all those people who travelled from all over specifically to visit the shop, you'll never know how much that meant to me.

I'll still have my room at the The Exeter Trading Hub so you can come and get a Thrifty Stylist fix there.

I'm not going immediately, so please do still pop in for a browse and a chat.

My landlord is looking for someone to take over the premises so if you think you or someone you know might be interested in renting the space, do get in touch with me or Stratton Creber Commercial direct.

Thank you so very much again to anyone who shopped with me over the past three years.

Lots of love

I have my little helper back in work this week.

I have to say despite being told on multiple occasions, he's overly friendly with the customers , his serving and wrapping skills leave a lot to be desired, he wants far too many breaks but what can I do, he's adorable and has me wrapped around his pretty paws 😂🐕🐾

New summer stock just arrived.

Beautiful cool, flowing dresses for hot summer days and holidays.

I'm so tired (literally) of lugging my treasures to my van at the car boot sales, so when I found this trolley for just £10! Phew, what a life saver!

My shop windows are probably my best source of advertising, it's a real struggle trying to keep them looking fresh and inviting, especially during slow times when I'm reluctant to splash out on more stock.

I'd love your thoughts on what you think I should stock ?

Refresh at a curated mix of old and new.

Going for fresh blues and whites this week with a touch of the seaside vibes.

Did you know there are several sellers at the hub who also sell a combination of new and vintage items.

Do pop down for a browse.

Over 50 sellers, a cafe, a hairdresser and an outdoor area.
