[concerned]

I voted for just one but I am a member of the Mountain Bear Fan Club and spend my weekends looking for Teddy Bears or other stuffed animals.I hit all 3 of the Oakhurst stores and every couple of weeks I go over to Coarsegold. I also attend the garage and yard sales.

I love thrift shopping. I have gotten so many deals, I like to find stuff and sell it on e-bay. You just never know what you are going to find. But, A month ago I went to the heartland one, I was looking at the dresses and pulled one off the rack, There was a HUGE scorpian on it..black..SWEAR..I screamed that was so scary..not your usual small oakhurst scorpian..isnt that wierd? I never find anything at that one..they need to weed out thier stuff. Love the candled egg and the community thrift shop. I always find something at those, they are clean and organized.

[Californee Girl]

a black one?? arent those emperial scorpians...poisonous? How scary!!

Ive found a lot of great finds at the Heartland one, but youre right, they need to rotate the clothes a little better. Not bad for volunteers though!

Right now Im looking for some super tacky luggage. Im thinking bright yellow with big red flowers or something. If anyone find that please let me know!

I used to go to the NF one all the time.. hella cheap prices.. the stuff wasn't so good though.. I found a lot of good books there http://oakhurstforums.com/icon/stretch.gif

I don't like the Candled Egg so much.. I like Heartland ok.. it is pretty cramped there.. but I have found awesome mushroom stuff there for my kitchen.

The Methodist store is by far the best organised, but I hate, HATE, HATE that they have such nice things (quilt racks, tables) that they refuse to sell. They are a thrift store ya know? It isn't like the stuff is never going to be replaced.. I don't know.. it frustrates me.

Anyone been to the thrift store in Coarsegold?

[SheilaMae]

I go to all of 'em. Don't know what I'd do without Thrift Stores! Concerned - I'm always lookin' for Black Bear stuff cuz we have a black lab named Bear and it fits with the rustic, cottage/cabin decor I like.

That scorpion at Heartland freaks me out......ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!! Just bought a basketful of clothes there to send to my younger sis in OH who just recently became wheelchair bound and wanted some oversize clothing easy to get in and out of...

My favorite is Candled Egg with the Coarsegold Village one second. I might even head to both before going home after work today! Would like to find a small indoor/outdoor table......

I don't know if anyone noticed but the 41 Trading Post has moved across the street into the old car parts building. The Candled Egg is going to be taking over the old Trading Post spot with a second store called Candled Egg Collectables. Antiques, vintage items and of course collectables. It will be a high end Candled Egg.

When I was still undecided about moving up here but visiting quite often, I remeber there being several of these types of stores in town. It will be nice to have one close by the house even if it is just for window shopping. I just hope their prices will still be in reach for my budget!

[CatdaBrat]

I don't know the name of it, but I like the big one in the building that used to be the Snowline Restaurant up on the 41. And they have a really neat kittie cat there, too! The only problem is, it can be challenging to turn left from their parking lot -- kind of a dangerous curve there.

The thrift store at Heartland has moved! They are now located next to the Oakhurst Office Supply/across from Days Inn

My daughter Kristina works at the thrift store in coarsegold... my girlfriend Lynette is the manager...kristina loves working there.. she loves helping people find what they need.... she has made that store alot of money since she has been working there and always cleaning and putting new clothes on the rack..I just bought a blender there....

Really? They were in a good location before. Wonder why they moved.

[beautiful_mess38]

Sometimes in those good locations the rent is to high.

I actually thought to ask this very question while there yesterday. The lady said Heartland was expanding and needed their space back. She also said Hwy 41 frontage is a better location for the business. Can't miss the huge thrift store sign over the door...that's for sure

[natdog]

Has anyone been to the new store in Oakhurst called Gotta Have It! We offer gently worn, gently priced quality used clothes. Come check us out, we are located on Hwy. 41 between the Sportsmen's Den & Westside Boardshop, across from Yosemite Gas. Tues - Sat :yes:

[monkey]

Yep, I've been there. Cute clothes & good prices.

[Coldwolf]

Both my girlfriend and my daughter love your new place. Glad you're doing well Nat.

You people give Gotta Have It a chance.
