The Junior League of Philadelphia, Inc. is delighted to celebrate a milestone that truly marks a part of our legacy – 20 years of the JLP thrift shop operating in Ardmore, PA. Over the past two decades, the shop has established itself as a shopping destination, and according to the thrift shop’s website, has won awards and recognition from organizations such as The Philadelphia Inquirer, Main Line Life, and Main Line Today.
Potentially a reason why the shop wins local awards is because of the amazing items that are donated, making every day an opportunity to find something interesting. Suzanne Farley, the Manager of the thrift shop shared that once someone donated a Picasso Print that was authenticated and sold through Freeman’s Auction House.
In celebration of the 20th anniversary, Junior League members were invited to a luncheon hosted by the Thrift Shop Committee. There was food, fun, and guest speakers who discussed topics like closets, clothing, and undergarments. Shannan Allen, known as The Closet Consultant, helps women create a style that demonstrates their unique gift to the world and their brand. Karima Renee, known as The Philly Bra Lady, is a lingerie educator helping women navigate the vast landscape of bras and finding the perfect fit.
Cheers for 20 years in Ardmore and beyond!
