Recyclamation Thrift

Ever the optimist, I dressed for the 80s the weather predictions promised. The weather didn't get the memo and hasn't made it out of the 50s.

The good news? It’s a lovely 75 degrees inside RECYCLAMATION Thrift, and I am already here in my cute sundress, waiting to admire your good judgment.

Come by, browse a little, and say hello. There's new stuff out since you've been here. I promise.

Bertie has some unbelievably beautiful and interesting spots. It is my honor to be the current Chair of the Bertie County Tourism Development Authority. If you have tourism questions, concerns, or ideas, please talk to me or a member of the TDA.

Traveling to other counties and speaking with residents and officials of close neighboring towns in Martin and Chowan counties, I frequently have the opportunity to brag about Bertie County assets

GRANNY SAVERS HAVE ARRIVED!

Got grandbabies coming to visit?

We currently have a clean Graco Pack ’n Play playpen set with mobile and a gently used Graco stroller that could make life a whole lot easier for Grandma.

Why haul everything back and forth if you don’t have to?

Safe napping, easy rolling, and fewer things for tired parents to load in the car.

Message us if interested before another granny beats you to it.

We're open today 11 a.m. till 6 p.m.

DISPATCH #11

The committee regrets to report a matter of public conduct requiring gentle correction.

It has come to our attention that certain visitors, having completed their business, choose to leave behind small remnants of a smoking habit directly in front of the establishment.

Jane was initially uncertain as to what these objects were.

Margot clarified the matter and expressed immediate disapproval.

Jane then expressed a desire never to touch one under any circumstances.

Victoria Worthington shares this view.

She further notes that the proprietor, who has never held the smoking habit in high regard, now finds herself in the unfortunate position of having to locate a tissue and dispose of these items personally.

Victoria Worthington considers this arrangement both unnecessary and deeply uncivilized. “One does not,” she observed, “deposit one’s refuse at the entrance of a respectable establishment and expect others to attend to it.”

Margot agrees that a modest degree of effort would resolve the matter entirely.

Jane believes there must be receptacles available for such purposes.

The committee concurs and is pleased to note that a rather serviceable receptacle has recently arrived on the premises. It shall now be stationed near the door.

It is therefore suggested that those who partake of such habits remember to make use of it, rather than leaving their remnants as offerings at the entrance.

The committee will continue monitoring the situation with great interest.

We had a BIG rig stop out front today (no, this is not THE truck). I went out to make sure everything was OK. Turns out, the driver just wanted to check out RECYCLAMATION, though our lot isn’t exactly designed for tractor-trailers. So he pulled over on the side of the road with his hazards on.

He told me he drives for Perdue. After the February explosion that closed one of their feed plants, they’ve been hauling feed from Nashville to Lewiston Woodville instead, which means longer runs and more miles. He said every time he's driven by, he thought he was gonna stop one of these days. Today was the day.

He bought a plate with a relief image of mallards in flight for his wife, said he’d be back, and rolled on down the road.

You never know who’s going to stop by.

So I'm not sold on the Sesame Street part - but the idea is golden!

Found a set of vintage Sesame Street bed sheets in an op shop and my clever friend transformed it into this amazing dress.
ETA for those asking the dress pattern is Vogue 8727.

Yeah - probably not the best way to make friends and influence people.

Mother's Day is just 2 weeks away! Come see some of the great gift ideas we have at RECYCLAMATION Thrift.

Mother's Day is just TWO WEEKS away. Remember - a gift doesn't have to be brand new to be thoughtful. We've got all kinds of things Mom might love.

If Oscar is her guy, we've got a beautiful pajamas & peignoir set and this brand new straw bag ($65 on eBay!).

If she's into puzzles, you know we've got her covered.

If she loves cookbooks, we just had new ones come in.

If she's a fan of hand-thrown pottery, we have some beautiful pieces.

If she loves her shoes, we have those!

If she's a movie buff, we have tons!

If she's a quilter/fabric crafter, we've got lots of material.

And if you'd just like to celebrate her with an old-fashioned tea party, we can help with that, too.

Come on over and take a look. We're here today and tomorrow from 11 a.m. till 6 pm. Thursdays, we're open till 8.
