Hey, we’re Michael and Abigail — partners in life and business, and the founders of People & Things. This shop is a reflection of who we are: thoughtful, expressive, a little unexpected, and deeply rooted in community.

We started People & Things with a shared love for style, storytelling, and secondhand finds that deserved another shot at being seen. What began as a passion for thrifting and collecting grew into a vision: to create a space where people could connect over clothing, creativity, and culture. Every piece in our shop has lived a life — and we believe the best ones still have more to give.

After years in different cities and careers, we landed in Lancaster, PA — and something just clicked. The energy, the people, the pace — it felt like the right place to plant something meaningful. We’re so proud to bring People & Things to this city and contribute to its vibrant creative scene. We’re not just here to sell clothes; we’re here to build something lasting — a vibe, a space, a community.

Whether you’re popping in to find your next favorite jacket, looking for inspiration, or just curious — we hope this feels like a place you belong. Because that’s what we’re really about: good people, good things, and good energy.

Welcome to our shop. We’re glad you’re here.
