I came here for the Farmers market. However, this farmers market is mostly antiques and plants…read more There is only a small selection of produce, drinks and food. The antique radio played country music as I wandered through the many rooms of antiques here. I saw antiques, mounted deer heads with jewelry on it, collectibles, handmade soaps, locally made jams, plants and much more. I did buy a small plant here in a rollerskate shaped pot. There are goats and a donkey here but you can only look at them. There were signs posted to not pet or feed the animals.

There is a large main building but a few other offshoots full of treasures. This is a mix of vintage booths with outdoor items - including plants - some homemade jams and local products of all sorts. Prices seem pretty on par for vintage items and good for the plants. I loved the outdoor spots with the plant holders and unique garden tables. They also have animals - goats, chickens, etc - that you can visit. We went on a random day off over the holidays and they had a food truck so that could be a regular thing but I'm unaware. If it's chilly outside, take a jacket, this is partially outside so you won't get heat the whole way through. Will be back for more treasure hunting.

I love this little antique store! So much to see and it always brings back fond childhood memories…read more The Treehouse Antiques is one of my first stops to take mom when she is visiting. She loves this place and usually finds several items to purchase while shopping. On my most recent visit I found a Corning Ware Coffee Pot ($89.95). It's probably the only piece she doesn't have in the set but she said she could get it cheaper; my mom, she loves to wheel and deal. She said "I got the tea pot though." I have to admit this place is packed full of stuff and can be a tight squeeze through the isles when its busy and can feel somewhat claustrophobic at times but its still worth the stop when shopping in downtown Sanford. I noticed since my last visit, it has become a bit more cluttered in here, one of the isles was packed with so much stuff you couldn't walk down it; work in progress, I guess? Some highlights on this visit were the collection of beautifully decorated music boxes, the Vaseline and Amber Nilotus Glass, the variety of vintage glass and stained-glass lamps, Corning Ware items, the glass fuel lamps, vintage clothing - blazers and hats, the variety of wall art, jewelry, watches, pocket knives, the Flea World shopping bags, and so much more. Staff here are always friendly and helpful; pricing is moderate to high in my opinion. My only complaint is that it can feel crowded in here especially when its busy and it can be a major problem if you're with someone who has a disability, there is literally no way you can get in here with a wheel chair or walker. Other than that, I highly recommend shopping here while visiting Sanford.

Four stars because of it was hot in there and two the place has so much stuff it's hard to see everything when it's not to organized.

I recommend setting aside at least 45 minutes to an hour to explore--there's so much to see, and they even have restrooms available for customers so you can take your time. The shop features a wide range of vintage and antique items from multiple vendors. Some standouts include a stunning Hand-Carved Carousel Rocking Horse ($2,495), a rare 1880s Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co. calendar clock ($1,250), an Italian Baroque Secretary ($695), and an Antique Wooden Butter Churn ($375). I also spotted a beautiful 55-piece Harkers Petit Point set ($95), hand-made necklaces ($25-$65), vintage Christmas ornaments, a working vintage pump organ ($175), and a large collection of antique train sets. There's far too much to cover, so trust me when I say--this place is a must-see. The staff here are exceptionally friendly and went out of their way to wrap up my mom's purchases for her flight home. The store is immaculately clean, with well-organized booths and aisles, making it easy to navigate. While most items are easy to spot, be sure to check under shelves and in hidden corners for more treasures; I found several instruments in their original cases tucked away in one booth. For music lovers, there's a booth with a solid selection of rock CDs in like-new condition for just $10 each. Book enthusiasts will appreciate the vintage collections available, like Edgar Allan Poe's Poems and Tales from 1898 ($60) and an older edition of A Christmas Carol ($30), many of which are behind glass cases and require assistance to view. I also found two music books that were great deals: Fun Folk & Frolic Songs for Piano ($2) and John Philip Sousa's Favorite March Book for Bass ($4)--both of which I'm excited to use for practicing music. Pricing varies by item and vendor. Some pieces are reasonably priced, while others are on the pricier side. Each seller has a booth number, and if they're not on-site, the staff will help you contact them for potential price negotiations. However, most prices seem firm, though it never hurts to ask. Whether you're a local or just visiting, The Coop Antiques is a hidden gem that offers something for everyone. I highly recommend stopping by to explore and find something special.

If you're looking for that one of a kind unique piece chances are you'll find it here. The main showroom overflows into a bar just as idiomatic.

We just moved in together to a new place, so we wanted to spice things up. I also am really into supporting local businesses these days so we kicked off the holiday weekend with a bang at The Mercantile and specifically their Thursday night party. It was a really fun vibe! Like surprisingly fun!!! I thought it might be like the places my grandma dragged me too when I was young. NO! It smelled fresh and clean, not like mothballs and old clothes (great placement of the soaps and toiletries in the front). They were playing disco music and people were really excited to be there. This super friendly couple that were dressed in crazy 50's shirts (owners maybe?) were really helpful explaining the number & letter system on the floor for navigation and how to use our beer and wine tickets. I'm not an antique person but I also don't want things for the house that everyone has so this place hit the mark. The shop had so much to choose from! I ended up with some wall art, handmade soaps, a serving platter for our 1st party, an old vinyl record and a cat themed gift for my mom's bday. CRAZY selections from front to back. The drawbacks for this place were already mentioned in some reviews I read before going - parking is hard, but they do allow drive up delivery to car for heavy items (we took advantage for a chair my roommate bought), the line for the drinks, and the line to check out (my roommate confirmed they had no line when she 1st went so I assume it was the event causing some backups). *** The GOOD far outweighs the lines in our experience!! Plus, it was a party!!! The fun couple said it was a "fun and cheap" date night and suggested a local restaurant to make it a full evening which I might do next time. I was overwhelmed in such a positive way from the 2 + hours we spent walking the store. I am pretty sure I missed a lot of booths so I will plan ahead for next time. The couple next to us in check out said they try to visit early Sundays to miss all the people and to park easily which sounds like a really good plan for my next visit.

There have everything from preserved bottled snakes to tee shirts available. They have a good selection of one of a kind jewelry available and a bunch of quality animal skulls and taxidermy for sale. If you need a quick pick me up they have a little coffee shop inside and they also sell a a variety of coffee blends from The coffee shop of horrors company.

They are willing to help if you need assistance with anything, great job! If you're in the market for something unique, spooky, or a bit creepy I highly recommend stopping in to check them out.

But, the service is abysmal to be frank. It's common to not be greeted or acknowledged. What motivated me to write this review was that I called to make sure they were open and I was spoken to in such an unfriendly manner. It's January 1st, of course it's new years. I had been to a couple stores and wanted to make sure this one was open (like it said online) and whoever answered the phone was annoyed that he had already received calls from others asking whether or not they're open and then rudely said "I don't even know any stores that are open today, we will have normal hours tomorrow". This is not a normal response at all: the attitude was not needed. I wouldn't recommend this store solely on that. Go to the coop antiques in oviedo or orange tree antiques mall instead.
