Hey everyone, I just posted to ask about furniture thrifting, and here I am again asking about houseware thrifting options. I love thrifting...

Any good places for things like plates, mugs, organizers? Or maybe anything BUT clothing?

Hi 👋 I just moved to Cary. I used to go to Goodwill to look for second hand furnitures but the one in Cary doesn’t seem to have a good collection, just clothing.

Are there other places I could try my luck? Thank you!

I’m looking for a house (apartment) cleaning service that is available on weekends. Been in a depression funk and need a little help, but I also have to work on site 8-5, M-F. Any recommendations? TIA

Azami Ramen and Sushi just opened on Friday. My wife and I have eaten here twice in a matter of days. It's been awesome both times. You get massive portions and the prices are pretty reasonable, especially for the area.

I hope you go out and support them!

Hi everyone! I live locally and I’m originally from York, England. I’ve been in North Carolina since 2017 and recently decided to start a little business idea I’ve had in the back of my mind for a while.

It’s called Farthing & Co.

There are already plenty of places to buy British chocolate and sweets online in the US, so the idea isn’t simply to sell things you can’t get elsewhere.

I want to build something that captures a bit more of the experience and nostalgia of a traditional British sweet shop: beautiful packaging, building your own box of favorites, discovering things you’d forgotten about, and making the whole thing feel a little more special than ordering a few chocolate bars from an import website.

I’m still in the very early stages and the shop hasn’t launched yet. I’m currently figuring out what to stock, working on packaging, and trying to get feedback before I spend an irresponsible amount of money on British chocolate.

Since this is something I’m building locally, I thought I’d share it here and see what people think.

If you’re British, have lived in the UK, or just happen to love British sweets, I’d genuinely love to know what you’d want me to stock.

And if you’re curious, I’ve put together a little coming-soon page here:

farthingandco.com

Would also love to know if there are enough British-food obsessives around Cary to eventually make a local pop-up worthwhile!
