Ho-Ho-Ho! Merry Christmas! Christmas in July, that is! Actually, it’s Christmas year-round at the Ridgefield Thrift Shop! We are fortunate to have a large storeroom in the lower level of our shop, and throughout the year collect and store the seasonal decorations that we receive, starting — literally — on the day after Christmas!

Our Christmas shelves are stocked with wonderful finds, and we want to share some of them with you. Starting on Monday, July 22, a section of our store will be turned into a winter wonderland. We’ll feature our vintage Christmas decorations, some beautiful ornaments, pinecones, holiday candles great for gifts, and even some trees. If you’re a collector, we have Byers Choice figurines, a wonderful selection of angels and Santas, and beautiful Spode holiday china.

Get a head-start on the holidays, and shop our “Christmas in July” sale for the best selection of our Christmas decor.
