Marjorie’s Hope Outfitters store has been VERY busy this back to school year. We have yet to tally the counts, but we know they will tell a story- all on their own. Some nights we were so tired at the end of the day, after the last shopper was outside the store, we were shutting out lights and walking out right behind our customers.
What we loved the most are the kids saying to their parents, “this is THE BEST thrift shop we have ever been to before”, or “look at ALL their cool stuff”. “Look, everything is new” (not everything, but a majority).
We had one family who stood out and were sooo much fun. Watching these 3 sisters collaborating in the dressing room who was going to select what clothing items so they could swap clothes and maximize their wardrobes was fantastic. Meanwhile, mom never lost focus when working on selecting allotted amounts one girl at a time; no matter how many times the other two girls came up to ask mom if she liked (or would approve) what they were holding up. It was constant. All the while, dad stood in the background taking it all in, smiling as if he was as entertained as we were watching this scenario play out. We loved watching how kind and respectful the sisters were with each other. NOT once did any of the girls pout, stomp their feet, argue or get mad when momma vetoed the item. These ladies clearly loved one another and loved their momma too.
They allowed us to take a family photo. Say hello to the Pearce Family.
