Coins, currency and stamps on East Lancaster Avenue, buying as well as selling. Where you take the album that came out of a relative's attic when you want to know what is actually in it.
Mavey Books
A small independent bookshop on Cricket Avenue, a half block off Lancaster. Budget for one more book than you came in for.
Past Present Future
A gift shop in the run of storefronts at the center of Ardmore, on Lancaster Avenue. The stop for a card and a present on the walk to dinner.

Thrift shop on Lancaster Avenue run by the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital Women's Board, with what it takes in going back to the hospital. Stock turns over as donations come through the door.
Petunia's Consignment Boutique

A clothing boutique on Parking Plaza, the block behind Lancaster Avenue where Ardmore keeps its municipal lots. Small storefront, short walk from the train.
Plant 4 Good
A plant shop on Cricket Avenue, a half block off Lancaster: houseplants and pots, plus someone to ask when one of them starts dropping leaves.

Rowen
A women's clothing boutique on Rittenhouse Place in Ardmore, one of the small storefronts on the side street a block off Lancaster Avenue.

Styche Boutique
A women's clothing boutique on West Lancaster Avenue in Ardmore, in the run of small storefronts along the main street.
Sweet Stuff
Candy shop on Coulter Ave, a half block off Ardmore's Lancaster Avenue strip. Sweets sold by the piece and by the bag, which makes it a short detour with a long decision.
Trillium Florist
Florist on Rittenhouse Place, in the short block of shops just off Lancaster Avenue. Arrangements for the occasions you remembered and the ones you remembered late.
Wheelhouse
Sports card shop on Rittenhouse Place. Packs, sealed boxes and singles under glass, which is a dangerous combination for anyone who collected as a kid.
