There's a new thrift shop in Winchester, but it's not selling clothes — it's stocked with fabric, yarn, wine corks, carpet samples, and just about anything else you could turn into art. Janet Michael sits down with Misty Weaver, owner of the brand-new Art Again Thrift Shop, just 24 hours after opening its doors on Valley Avenue.
Misty walks through how the creative-reuse shop works, from the "Fill-a-Basket" bulk system to tiered memberships, tool rentals, and a members-only craft room. They dig into what inspired the idea — including the closure of JOANN Fabrics — how donations and community partnerships with local arts nonprofits will work, and why crafters (and their basements) may never be the same. Tune in for a peek behind the doors of one of the Valley's most unexpected new small businesses.
