Driving down 460, on our way to the Jamestown Ferry, we made a pit stop at this awesome antique…read morestore on the side of the road in the tiny hamlet of Disputanta. What a great stop it was! From the window displays to the well organized booths, it was a joy to pop by the various vendors and take a gander at all their treasures! We constantly stopped in the aisles and said to each other "Look at this!" Or "Remember these?" So many nostalgic pieces which brought back fond memories! I had a hand held basket which quickly was filled with cool items. I collect topsy-turvy dolls and found one here, swizzle sticks, fabric, figurines and a unique quirky Mad Hatter doll! Whatever you are looking for, you're bound to find here! They carried vintage comic books, glassware, photography equipment, bar ware, toys, jewelry, furniture, textiles, coins, and tons more! This store was clean, the vendors pay attention to detail, and the prices were so reasonable! We checked out easily and the folks there were hospitable, helpful and jovial. We had a blast and I saw several other pieces that I would've love to carry home. I suppose that means I'll be coming back to this funky, fun, and fabulous antique shop next time I'm in the little community of Disputanta!!

This is such a great find! I was taking the scenic route to Richmond for a gal's day and decided…read moreto stop in and browse some antiques. I spoke to the owner, Brenda for a while before leaving and she was so friendly and personable. She showed me around, greeted me warmly, and chatted easily and happily with a few of the other customers while I was walking around. She didn't follow me around, make me feel judged or pressured, and was friendly and made easy small talk with everyone. She mentioned they had recently taken over the building and apologized for the fans and lights as they were trying to cool it off with several strategically placed large fans in the rooms - it's a large building and is bigger than I expected inside with lots of really great finds and some neat handmade keepsakes from local artists. I plan to make this a usual stop when I travel this route.

A great place to wander about when you've got some free time! This place is a stone's throw from…read morethe Virginia Diner, and the building is chock full of interesting collectibles. It can be fun to explore before, or after, dinner. The large building is partitioned into a few rooms. The first room always contains a large collection of cast iron items, as well as some vintage items (drinking glasses and the like). The next rooms have the toys, furniture, books, records, musical instruments, (sometimes) clothing and other odds-and-ends that would be expected in collectible or antique stores. The staff does well with keeping the building comfortable (temperature-wise and space-wise). There's certainly a lot to browse through but I've never felt claustrophobic. There always seems to be a decent mix of "old" items and new - I never see exactly the same things and enough is added to maintain my interest. The final room contains glass cases with jewelry and other items you'd expect to see "protected." I've seen some interesting art work and other vintage pieces or unexpected finds in the far back corner of the store. Make sure to take your time to check everything out! Prices seem very reasonable. I found planters for two of my bonsai, as well as another trinket, and walked away without feeling like I was overcharged. Of course prices fluctuate throughout the store but I've never thought pricing was obscene. More often than not, I've been more pleased with the price tags I've seen. The staff is friendly and approachable, while not smothering you as you explore for "treasures." I last went in around Christmas, and credit card transactions were not allowed below a certain purchase amount (I think it was $20), so make sure to carry cash if you expect to pick up a few cheaper items. Parking has never been an issue. The location is convenient. Things are kept tidy and clean. Overall, I love to visit while I'm passing through and have the time! Side note: this business has changed hands and names a few times, but this is from my most recent experience (about a month ago).

The staff are always helpful, especially when it comes to reaching high items or unlicking doors. They are always willing to help. I really enjoy this antique shop. It is pretty large, but not overwhelming. The closer you get to the back of the store it is a little disorganized. This is the type of antique store where you have to take time to stand and look. Some booths have a lot that you just need to stand back and look. I sometimes find it easier to just walk in with products in mind. But, it is also fun to take a look around with no real plan. Pretty much just see what treasure finds you. The pricing does vary here, but honestly I really can get a good deal from time to time. I really do luck out here.

You can't miss the humongous yellow chair and the quirky metal rooster on the front lawn! There are at least 4 buildings: the main building, the "she shed", another small building, and the big barn down the trail! The barn is full of bigger furniture and architectural items as well as traffic lights and metal sculptures and salvage stuff & fixtures. The smaller buildings have garden items (I found a big terra cotta planter that I purchased) and statues. One outbuilding housed some lovely art deco pieces, vintage hats and purses, wing chairs, perfume bottles, and even an antique typewriter. The cute little she shed had kitchenware, vintage aprons, old utensils, some wooden chairs, a tiny table and a few other cool pieces (I bought a cute white deco bookcase from this area). The main building is full of antique furniture, dining sets, china and crystal, tea things, pictures, lamps, mirrors, rugs, jewelry, and even some homemade crafts. I was in "junking" heaven. The owner was super nice and gave me a deal on my finds. With Yelp I also got 10% off my purchase. Even the pristine restroom was decorated with things for sale, linens, signage, washboards, etc!

Over time, it seems to have shifted more toward a resale/antique boutique model, with many items priced closer to online resale values. I completely understand that costs have gone up, and I do appreciate the store's mission, the friendly staff, and the quality of many of the items they carry. Their furniture selection in particular still seems fairly priced. That said, shoppers looking for lower-cost thrift store bargains may want to adjust expectations a bit compared to years past.
