Redwood Thrift with Rejoyce Designs opened May 2, 2014, by Tim and Joyce Thurman. Their goal is to Recycle, Reinvent, and Renew secondhand treasures in and all around Humboldt. They collect items from auctions, estate sales, and storage units locally, as well as direct donations from the community. Recently, they lost their space at Midtowne Plaza and were forced to move. They found a new home at 167 S. Fortuna Blvd, across from Ace Hardware. Over the last eight years, Joyce and Tim have curated quality and unique items that were originally bound for the landfill. “We love artwork, books, furniture, tools, and so much more. When we opened Redwood Thrift our grandson, Kadian, was seven years old and we were living in Bridgeville. After a short time of driving highway 36 a few times daily, we made the decision to move to Fortuna,” said Joyce. Today, Kadian is almost 16 years old and is a sophomore at Fortuna High school. He often helps out in the shop and is happy to be a part of the Fortuna community. Joyce and Tim try to stay active locally whenever 8
possible. They have been able to help families in need with donations to help them relocate to the area. For many years, they have been able to help fire victims with financial support and donations. They also donate to the schools for special projects and events. “We are happy to help our community as much as possible,” Joyce said. “Tim, Kadian, and I would love to welcome everyone into our new location. We love our new home here!” Redwood Thrift is located at 167 S. Fortuna Blvd., and can be reached at (707) 726-7710.
