Unique finds, always affordable. A family-owned, donation-based thrift shop on the corner of Bay & Miller, where every rack tells a story. Come see what's new.
Real finds, photographed on our floor. The racks turn over constantly, so what you see here is a taste. The good stuff goes fast. drag to browse →












Not 2 Shabby opened its doors in October 2025 on the corner of Miller Street and Bay Avenue, run by the Kailla family. No ribbon, no ceremony on day one, just a line of neighbors ready to try on jackets and dig for treasure.
Everything on the floor is donated by our community or collected by the family: clothing, shoes, bags, jewelry, toys, holiday décor, furniture, and household goods. Gently used, sometimes brand new with tags, always priced so you can say yes.
And when you shop here, part of every sale goes right back into the Bayshore.

It means so much to our N2S family to see the way the Highlands community has welcomed us with open arms.— Not 2 Shabby, after the ribbon cutting
We rotate the causes we support so the whole Bayshore, from Highlands to Keyport, feels it. Here's where your purchases have gone.
A portion of proceeds goes to a local charity, with a new recipient each rotation. 10% of profits at opening.
Our very first recipients, chosen in honor of Veterans Day the month we opened.
Next up in the rotation, keeping Bayshore families fed.
A proud partner. Each month we gather and donate clothes and essentials for new and expectant mothers and their babies. Have something to give? Drop it off during business hours. @goodcounselhomes
We collaborate with local organizations to give their causes exposure and create opportunities for all. @waters_and_sims
Own a local business? Drop off your cards or flyers and we'll pin them up in the shop. Supporting small is always in style.
Every month we hand a corner of the shop to a local maker. Their handmade work sits right next to the racks, available that month only.
