Now accepting in-season clothing donations.

Stop by the Andover Thrift and Gift Shop during April and fill a shopping bag with clothing items for just $5! You’ll find a great variety of carefully selected casual, business, and occasion clothing for men, women, and children.

Ready to spruce up your home for spring? Veteran-owned For the Love of Crafts has an assortment of beautifully crafted home décor items to welcome in the new season. Sunapee-based Creations by Cheryl offers shoppers a display of jewelry from exquisite necklaces, bracelets, and earrings just perfect for your Easter ensemble, to the ever-popular and practical utility paracord bracelets. Don’t forget the shop also carries a full line of 100% natural Cardigan Mountain Soaps in spring-favorite scents including lilac, lavender, lilies of the valley and more.

The shop is now accepting donations and consignments of good condition spring and summer men’s and women’s clothing and accessories, including handbags and jewelry. The shop does not accept footwear or men’s suits. In-season children’s clothing is always accepted for donation. Please limit your donations/consignments to the equivalent of two tall kitchen bags.

Clothing should be clean, gently worn, or new, free of stains, pet hair, smoke smell, or other damage. Donations and consignments may be made during regular business hours. Please do not leave your donation bags outside in the elements. The shop is open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday 10 AM – 4 PM, and Saturday 10 AM – 2 PM, and is located at 26 School Street in Andover, next to the Andover Elementary/Middle School.
