Cool place with a good mixture of used clothing, toys , jewelry, homegoods , housewares, wall pictures , and a bunch of other cool trinkets that are from another time or decade past . After browsing a bit I found a few neat items that I can put in my man cave which includes a beer companies neon sign and a vase that looks creepy and looks older then Frankenstein..my cuz picked up a few items which I paid for as he left his wallet at home again. Had fun roaming around this vintage shop and will be back with cuz to find some more cool treasures.

They are clearly professional but also understand the emotional aspects of letting go of objects that belonged to family members who are no longer with us. Their knowledge of art, antiques, design and the historical facts which provide the context of artistic expression is inspiring. Yet, they do not use this specialized knowledge to scare, intimidate or hustle you. They are good persons who do not take advantage of the vulnerability that may result when individuals may have to undertake estate sales whose contents represent a lifetime of toil. These are the type of individuals that should be running for President and Vice President- in no particular order. Thank you again gentlemen for treating all the members of my family with compassion and dignity regardless of age, background or circumstance in life.

If you are budget-conscious, dont look to buy anything here. The owner is not rude. He's busy. Ive spoken to him once, briefly during my initial visit. Any other time Ive visited, he's been pre-occupied, which was fine with me. Ive never had a personal convo with him, but hes done business with me over the years via proxy.

My wonderful vintage wrought iron door from Demolition Depot was just installed by Promaster Gates…read more It's spectacular and cost exactly what I expected something this lovely to cost. I couldn't be happier or more satisfied with both companies. Ilona at Demolition was so helpful and patient with me. She went out of her way to help navigate what would or wouldn't work for my project. She she spent loads of time to find the perfect solution to my unique security problem. She was candid and had loads of amazing tips for the care and feeding of old wrought iron. This project would have stalled without her. The pictures show the iron door in the second stage. Final painting will happen when the weather warms up. Thanks Ilona it's been a great experience. You have so many beautiful things, I want more!

I love the Ridgewood Market!…read more This Sunday was the first time that I attended. It actually took place on Summerfield Street, which is right near my house (so I had no excuse not to attend!). So my local artisans and businesses were represented here! Not only establishments from Ridgewood (Norma's, Rudy's) but there are tons of other cool vendors from all over NYC represented here! MartiniHandmades (from whom I got an awesome terrarium and bracelet), an awesome empanada table, someone serving shrimp and grits! So many local artists, jewelry makers and thrift stores! I know that this market is awesome, because even my boyfriend, who usually does not enjoy these types of things, found several vendors, items and foods that he loved! Score! Everyone was friendly and some vendors even took credit cards! What a great way to get to meet people from your neighborhood and support local artisans! I can't wait to do all of my holiday shopping at Ridgewood Market!

I guess I'll review this since it is on here, but it is really a recurrent event rather than a…read more"place". It actually is a monthly event held at Gottscheer Hall; I stopped by the initial one in April. It is categorized on Yelp as a "flea market" at moment, but that is really a misnomer; while there were a few booths selling used goods it is predominantly an indoor arts & crafts fair, with some booths selling food products to boot. This might be a good place to check if you were buying gifts; the majority of the goods are likely more appealing to women than men from my judgement. One aspect I do appreciate is that the vendor pool seems to display a relatively diverse range of ages, ethnicities, and tastes and the same goes for the crowd perhaps due to advertising that is also locally-focused; it doesn't feel so much like some of the similar craft markets held in other boroughs, but has a less-pretentious, very neighborhoodly Queens vibe. It seems to, consciously or not, embody Ridgewood quite well rather than attempting to replicate an outside aesthetic in this old neighborhood. Hopefully it becomes even more diverse and representative of the neighborhood as the event evolves. The best part is seeing so many people at Gottscheer Hall for a public event during daytime hours, as well as being able to get eggs and other brunchtime foods they don't normally serve.

A cool shop in Glendale queens that has an assortment of new and old trinkets , antiques, some…read morefurniture pieces and stuff you probably don't need but would look cool on your table , shelves , dresser , vanity , etc. my cuz told me about a old and new shop and he was right for once , as soon as you enter the shop , it's wall to wall, shelves to shelves and beyond . The folks who run the shop are super nice and allow the customers to roam and browse freely . I grabbed a foot stool , a few small paintings and mini statues that will be added in my man cave . They also have different types of jewelry which also look interesting but I don't really wear bling , so maybe next time . Will be back with my female cuz and her daughter who love these types of shops . 4 stars on my yelp meter .

When I first walked in to this thrift shop I wad ready to turn around and walk out. It was a place…read moreI DID NOT want to be in. It REEKED (and I can't put enough emphasis on the word reeked) absolutely stunk of cigarettes like nobodies business. The walls are baby blue, and the carpet is dark blue; to the left is home goods (cups, glassware, trinkets, decorations, old school finds), and to the right is a section full of the most creepiest looking toys (ones with big eyes that reminded me of chucky). The point I'm trying to make is that the atmosphere and vibe alone made me want to leave. I proved my mother right (so I thought) as to why I didn't want to go to any thrift shop in the first place. My reason for even being here in The first place is because I'm trying to do my bedroom over and my mom swears by HGTV who insists that thrift stores offer the best an unique buys.... I start looking, but everything seems to be crap. On top of that it's cold and smelly. That's when I discovered the back portion of the store!!! Well let me say that's when my eyed were open to the other side of the world "ones man trash is another man's treasure". The back contains clothes, shoes, and BAGS!! Bags galore...and cheap too!! I bought two bags for $18; the silver one $6 and the gold one $12. The gold bag I bought is like.something I've never seen before. The silver one is more a standard bag but it was $6 and I love it but its not a bag id normally.go and spend $30 at some random store. I saw many different brands here from h&m to gap, and even coach. The higher name brands they keep.behind glass, but I only recall one coach bag back there. As I went to.check out the only cash that could be scraped up was $16, two dollars short of what I owed. The lady didn't make me go across the street and pull cash, not did I have to put down one of the bags; she let me give her $16. I will definitely be back to go treasure hunting, but I'm not going to spread the good word as I want to keep this hidden gem all to my self! If you do happen to visit though, make sure you have cash...they don't take cards!!!
