Quality stuff at rock-bottom prices.  The store falls under the umbrella of Beatitudes, a non-profit organization in the heart of Ada.  Area volunteers collect the donations, clean them up, refurbish some, and so on.  One of the volunteers that I interviewed, said that she gets tremendous gratification seeing people &#8220;&#8230;who wouldn&#8217;t otherwise be able to afford most of this, be able to afford most of this.&#8221;  What&#8217;s more, in the midst of our current, for the most part, &#8216;throw-a-way society,&#8217; this is also about: recycling.  This Bee Home store is an absolutely excellent model, which could be replicated from town, to town, to town&#8230; across America.  Also, from a social justice angle, some of these second-hand decor savings could go into outreach funds for Third World home decor.  *See my last post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bee Home store I just wrote a story about an Ada, Ohio thrift store that features home decor items.
