This one is for all my Atlanta readers!
The Jr. League of Atlanta has a Jr. League Nearly New Shop Thrift store, which I knew nothing about until I got an email inviting me down there. I haven’t been yet, but I plan to stop in there when I get a chance. I’ve been a little busy these days.
Here’s a little bit about the Nearly New Shop:
The League:
The Junior League of Atlanta, Inc., is an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable.
The Store:
Since opening its doors in 1949, the Junior League of Atlanta’s Nearly New Shop has served hundreds of thousands of customers, raised more than four million dollars in net revenue, and moved eight times — growing with each relocation. Throughout all the growth, the mission of The Nearly New Shop has remained the same: to offer quality merchandise and a positive Junior League image, to raise money for community projects, and to offer an interesting, fun placement for members. Proceeds from the Nearly New Shop are used to train and educate League members for effective community service, as well as to financially support projects and programs where League volunteers serve.
And here’s the good news!
They also want to offer one of my readers a $50 giveaway to come and shop in the store. How fun is that? An opportunity to spend money in a thrift store! You can imagine how far $50 might go in that store.
They are open 7 days a week too! So you can get your thrift on any day of the week. They are located on Howell Mill Road in Atlanta, so definitely on my side of town. I’ll be checking them out very soon!
You can visit their Facebook page for more information about the group and their events. And I hope all of you Atlanta girls will stop by there and visit.
You can’t have too many thrift stores now can you?
Just leave a comment telling me the best thing you’ve ever found in a thrift store. Please only comment if you are in Atlanta and can actually visit the store. Thanks!

My Hubbie landed a job in atlanta and needed to rent a small apt near his work, while I stayed behind to sell the family home…this gal thrifted like crazy….we ended up furnishing his entire atlanta apt for $500!!!
Hi Rhoda! Love reading your blog. My best thrift store find was an authentic Gucci handbag from the 70s that I bought for $20. I was beyond excited. Thanks!
I love this shop! I don’t know my best thrift store find since I shop there often. One of my recent purchases I was excited about was a sit and stand stroller for $15.
