I purchased a jewelry box which was in very good condition. Will return in the future as I'm looking forward to their summer variety of clothes. A must go for anyone who loves antiques!

Customer service was indeed welcoming. This store is FULL, vibrant, frilly, and feminine. It was…read moreinteresting to browse. It's not really my personal style and everything was priced well above what other antique stores are charging, so I did not feel confident in finding something for me. However, it was really cool to see a Barbie case I had when I was 8 years old.

It is loaded with the kind of stuff I really go for, offers free water/coffee/tea/cocoa, and the owner Kathy was an absolute delight. I was completely enamored. Kathy's husband was busy bringing in merchandise for Kathy and it warmed my heart to see such a fantastic partnership. They love what they do, and that creates an atmosphere you shouldn't miss. If you're specifically looking for items from the first half of the 20th century, this could be your spot.

Cute store, and yes the labubus are authentic buuuuut the lady told me the labubu I got was…read moreunopened. It had already been opened, although the labubu package inside was unopened the box had already been opened and it was taped shut. And the card that came with the labubu clearly showing which one you were getting was taped to the outside. Like why take the fun out of the whole item???? And why tell me it was unopened when it clearly was opened??? Then charge an arm and a leg for a taped shut box. They are authentic though, so But if you're gonna ruin the fun of a surprise, how about a discount? lol

It was... weird. I went yesterday with some aluminum to recycle, because a friend had been a…read morecostumer a long time ago and spoke highly of them. I brought some scrap aluminum peices not realizing they only accept crv cans. My issue was not with this, but with the "service". A blonde man came out and said can I help you and I told him yes they were recommended so I brought aluminum left over from a project. He seemed short with me, We only accept aluminum cans for crv! No worries! I was just surprised because he was interrupting me and acting agitated. I told him thanks, and went to my brother behind me so we could regroup and go somewhere else. He came back out a minute later and asked us to pull through to leave. I was like, huh ? There was zero anyone there. We couldn't have been much in the way, lol. But I immediately go to my car to leave, while mentioning i was a little disappointed that he was so terse and unhospitable, esp. After the place bring so highly recommended. He then throws his hands up and says What do you want me to do !? WE ONLY TAKE CANS! I was kinda surprised but he def dident seem to realize he wasent exactly exuding professionalism or hospitality, lol. He dident "get" it... yes your not making an immediate sale, but now your first impression has guaranteed that at least for me, you will NEVER get a second chance to make a sale. The place look charming, but I won't be back. It's a shame but for such a young person (late 20's?) He sure did seem to have a hair up his crawl !

She is pleasant to speak with and the selection of items are not only rare but what you're looking for! When I went there I could spend hours looking at all the items and the value of the products sold were fairly priced. I highly recommend a stroll through but plan an hour or so because the store is welcoming and inviting. I am almost sad to be the one to let the secret out but it's to good to keep for myself. I will return over and over for my home goods and what better gesture than to support a small hometown business!!!! Thank you Caroline I will see you soon!

I would not recommend this place. The people who work there are actually volunteers, and the board…read moreof directors leading them are mean and vicious. I entered art in the art show a few times. And I painted murals inside the shop. My artwork was carelessly dropped on the floor and broken (frame) and I was not treated nicely at all when I wanted them to pay for the repairs. The women who run the shop are rude and scary. I was renting a space there but I was viciously kicked out for no good reason. The only thing that I am truly upset about is this: I hand painted a large mural in the shop and I was kicked out so fast and so viciously that I did not have a chance to paint over it. And the president of the place managed to either somehow scrub off or paint over my signature. Of my art. There are a few nice people there. But mostly bad vibes. SHE REMOVED MY SIGNATURE FROM MY ART. Oh! AND! During an art show opening event, they put yellow caution tape across my booth and my friend's booth to prevent us from making any sales. And they tell customers they are doing construction. Not true.
