Accessories, books, board-games, toys, small kitchen and beauty appliances, and of course a good selection of glassware, china, and porcelain do-dads.<\/p>\n<p>What will you not find there? Clothes. Aside from accessories like scarves and purses, you won\u2019t find clothes here yet. Maybe it\u2019ll be something they can accept and sell in the future, but for now it doesn\u2019t look like they quite have the room and resources to handle taking on clothing. Understandably.<\/p>\n<p>For the money, it\u2019s worth the jaunt up Edmonton Trail. Interesting rotating stock, super reasonable pricing, and duh, you help cats.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9025 size-full\"
