Our present location on Bath Pike holds so many wonderful memories for us. Many years ago, it saw the genesis of Truth For Women and My Sister’s Closet, and has served us well. But, just as Bloom is evolving, so, too, is our beautiful upscale resale boutique, and our new location is fabulous!
We look forward to being part of the Bethlehem Village Shoppes! We’ll be nestled amid a diverse community of businesses and eateries – even a chocolate candy shop! This new locale affords us an incredible opportunity to gain exposure and to benefit from this already-busy shopping milieu.
Forget Punxsutawney Phil and his foreboding predictions! We say spring begins on opening day at our new location! Our beautiful new shop will showcase our awesome spring line of women’s clothing, handbags, shoes, jewelry and accessories. Our mannequins will now have a huge front window in which to model the name brands that you expect to find at My Sister’s Closet. You will also find other familiar items such as our Thistle Farms products, and our custom-made greeting cards crafted by our volunteer artisans.

Our store manager, Rebekah Fritchman, has been working very hard at our new location to get it ready. “We will be in a better location, considering it’s in a shopping center, one that has more foot traffic. We will have a street view from our location, and will no longer be hidden. I’m definitely going to begin private shopping events again, and possibly longer store hours, as well. This is a clean slate for us. My Sister’s Closet will always have its original roots, but we’re definitely going to go in a new direction, one that will make us even more successful. Being more visible to the public means new customers, more donations, more women we are reaching out to, and more survivors we are helping.”
Special thanks to Rebekah, her dad, Darrick Fritchman, her sister, Katie Fritchman, and family friends Amey Bliss, Owen Bliss and Matthew McSparian for volunteering much of their free time over the past few months to paint, spackle and otherwise get our new shop ready for business!
Until we move, take advantage of our winter sale!!
See you soon at our new location!

Volunteer Spotlight - Rita and Mickey Philpott |
This month we extend an extra-special “Thank you!” to two volunteers who have been with My Sister’s Closet almost since its inception, Rita and Mickey Philpott. Rita and Mickey are now retiring from their volunteer service with us, and, though we will miss seeing their smiling faces at our boutique and volunteer room, we wish them much luck and happiness in whatever endeavors God has planned for them!
(In November of 2019, Rita and Mickey were the subjects of our very first Volunteer Spotlight. Though Truth For Women is now Bloom, and our former Truth Home has evolved and expanded, the heartfelt gratitude and love we felt for this dedicated couple at that time remains. For those of you new to our newsletter, we’d like to re-run that 2019 tribute to Rita and Mickey.)
