Philly AIDS Thrift
Equal parts thrift shop and curio cabinet, this campy space overfloweth with an ever-changing inventory of figurines, souvenirs, books, lamps, dishware, toys, apparel and so much more. Take a jaunt across the street for larger items like furniture, chandeliers and the quite possibly the most comprehensive collection of gaudy Christmas fare I never want to see again.

Vintage Modern
The ever-changing selection of mod furnishings makes this eclectic space a must for mid-century lovers especially. Think Saarinen, Nelson and Eames and many otherwise unknown decorative designers besides.

Creating “contemporary counterparts to historical precedents,” Hatch’s prolific body of beautiful work is on display at The Clay Studio until June27… Who wouldn’t want to drink coffee/ tea out of one of these? Nobody, that’s who.

Biello Martin
A salon-like studio/boutique with inspired works the likes of which you’ll not see again. Creators of art, music and light, their signature chandeliers and Family Jewels are especially enchanting.

Petulia’s Folly
Upscale offerings of clothing, jewelry and modern housewares round out the merch in this decidedly hip, bisected boutique. Always a pleasure to browse and to buy, signature selections include Doo Ri, Kikatsu, Rachel Comey, Anna Corinna and John Derian too.
