Still Hopping After 79 Years

Dear Scarsdale10583: The Scarsdale Women’s Exchange is reopening on September 7th, after having been closed for the month of August.

The shop is still hopping after 79 years. Founded during the Depression in 1931, the Exchange was originally founded to help women in need by selling their home-cooked foods and handmade items. There are currently similar exchanges in 19 cities.

The Scarsdale Woman’s Exchange stocks new handmade items, including knitted and crocheted baby sweaters and hats, quilts, dolls, smocked baby dresses, jewelry and countless items that are unique and reasonably priced. In addition, the shop also sells beautiful tableware, gift items, scarves, handbags and wonderful hostess gifts, Another feature are the delicious and decorative homemade tea sandwiches and baked goods that customers use for entertaining at luncheons, showers and parties.

The Exchange is a not-for-profit shop and when able, makes contributions to charitable organizations, such as Gilda’s Club, My Sister’s Place, Scarsdale Ambulance Corp., Scarsdale and Edgemont scholarship funds.

The staff includes manager, Doreen Goldsmith, and several helpful volunteers.

Stop by the Woman’s Exchange and see what the shop has to offer. You will be pleasantly surprised.
