Every now and then I get that itch to go antiquing and decided to try the Antique Center at Savage…read moreMills. The store is huge and they have items from decades and century past. The store is very eclectic so you have to walk around to every section. They have articles and magazines, to comics, to clothing and furniture, to collectibles of every type. They even have coins and jewelry for sell. If you are tired buying gifts from the big department stores, I am sure you can find something unique, but personal, here. The staff is very friendly and customer service is #1. I thought the prices I saw were reasonable but I am sure they are open to negotiations. If you are in the area, this is definitely a cool place to check out.

The fact that I've been to Savage Mill more than once and have missed this GIANT sprawling antique…read moreshop on the bottom floor is not just a crime, but a crime against humanity really. This place is HUGE. I don't know how i missed it. Or the giant antique chair that's out front for you to take pictures in. So this is like one of those antique stores where there are boothes everywhere that people rent out and basically sell and the antique store gets a small cut and they pay rent to have a booth there. There must be upwards of 40+ booths/vendors. Probably more. Everything from antique furniture, antique medical stuff, decor, you name it. I ended up getting some gifts for friends and now that I've given the gifts, I can detail them. An agate container that I thought was cool. A broach in the shape of a person (almost art deco style) but decorated in almost a Native American/Latin style. I got a set of beautiful Japanese coasters in a nice container with I believe Iris' on the front. I also got a cute little Canada themed hourglass thing. Just a bunch of random stuff where I saw it, and was like, "oh I could see this person liking this." I can't wait to go back. I spent maybe an hour or so there, but I could have easily spent more time. The people at the front were really helpful opening up glass cases to see certain items though I will say (the amount of keys and cases they have is sort of aggressive) lol. A LOT of stuff is behind lock and key. Great store though. And legit DO NOT know how I missed this.

We went furniture shopping at about six stores near home in Annapolis, but with no luck. We found…read moreexactly what we were looking for this afternoon at Fox Run Antiques at Savage Mill. They have an interesting variety of good quality furniture pieces. We were looking for something to blend with some vintage family oak furniture, and found a pair of Ethan Allen end tables that were just the right dimensions. Paul Olson, the owner/dealer, was very nice and helpful. It was a successful trip and we also enjoyed lunch at Rams Head Tavern.

Not many locations with fine porcelain but Gardner Burke Antiques specialize in it. If you are around the area or willing to make the drive, you should.

Wow! One of THE best thrift stores in Maryland. This place is run so efficiently. It's extremely…read moreorganized and the women running it keep it very neat and clean. Prices are super reasonable. Mostly everything is in good quality. I found some great vintage pieces --there's a huge selection of vintage if you're into that. They even have a full bridal section and special occasion dresses that were really pretty. I barely scratched the surface--a second visit is definitely in order. Highly recommend this location. They are so friendly and have amazing stuff!

One of many precious shops set in old Ellicott, this particular location -as one might guess from…read morethe name- is housed in an old bank. Originally built in 1906, the elegant little spot still has the rather charming bars on its windows and the enterprising owners have repurposed the delightful antique vault as the changing room. It's worth stepping inside just to get a look at the old vault door, carefully fixed open so you can see the mechanism and so that it can't close on a hapless shopper. The merchandise is a delightful mixture of true vintage and vintage style, with a matching range of prices so there's a bit of something for everyone. The second floor is the 'lavender shop' with soaps and so on, and a lot of handy but expendable gifting ideas. The third houses the art gallery, with some lovely pieces on view. Five minutes or fifty can easily be spent in the place, depending on if you'd like a quick peek or a lengthy perusal. I myself need to go back when I don't have an impatient sister in tow.

Once the items were in his possession, he became vague and cagey about what items had actually sold. When pressed, he did state that some books had sold, but that he could not send a commission check immediately because he had bills to pay, despite agreeing that he owed us the funds. We finally received a small check, but never received any type of account detailing what was sold. After many months, we asked for a status update of the remaining items and all we received was a text message stating that they had been donated as they did not sell. Please beware when dealing with this individual.
