Kelly Drive
Inspired by creative culture near and far, Kelly Drive is a curated collection of home decor featuring limited-edition furniture, lighting, accessories and more. Fantastic pieces from the likes of a second-generation glassblower, a seasoned woodworker and even an anarchist metalsmith (amongst other artisans, of course) are showcased in Kelly Drive’s online gallery of thoughtful work. Stop by and see the ever-growing collection and feel free to say hello on Facebook and Twitter too.

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.
