IMHO This place is…read moreHUGE!!! Trust me, you'll want to give yourself time to peruse the whole building and outdoor area for hidden treasures. There are many consignment booths to wander through chock full of vintage and antique goodies. It's like walking around in the past. You'll have a smile on your face as you go down memory lane. I was looking around for garden decorations specifically. Sadly, I didn't see anything that I had to bring home, but it sure was fun looking. Prices seemed a bit high for me, but perhaps not for others. The employees were very friendly and available to open locked cabinets and answer questions. Will I return? Sure!

Phil was quite helpful and the prices are a bargain for the antique. The teacup and saucer I bought had 24K gold painted lines. I browsed the rest of the store out of wonderment to see what other hidden treasures were preserved over the decades. He showed me dishware made of uranium. They glowed green under the light. He explained the dishware were made in 1888. After they learned uranium was dangerous, no more dishware were made. Whatever you find will only be for collection purposes. He has a good amount well kept as pictured along with other blast from the past cameras for the photographer aficionado. Stop by and see if you find something worthy for your taste in decorating, staging and collecting.

He is a truly wonderful individual and made my shopping experience even more delightful. I was able to find some gorgeous glass knobs and after taking them home to clean up, am so excited to install them! As a surprise bonus, they have a small selection of uranium glass and I was able to pick up a beautiful set of coupes to add to my collection. This was probably the smallest antique shop I visited that day, but is also the one where I found the most items! This shop is about half a block over and slightly apart from antiques colony but is definitely worth a stop. Hopefully Phil will be working and you'll be as charmed by him and his father's shop as I was!

They have lots of whimsical home decorations, kitchenware, linens, jewelry, figurines, soap, body lotion, and much more. The shop has a cozy cottage vibe. I visited there recently and thoroughly enjoyed slowly going through the shop and checking out all the charming treasures. One of the things I really liked was a Hazel Atlas children's tea set in pastel-colored milk glass from the 1940s-50s (see pic). I also saw a nice secondhand Kate Spade bag for only $42. The women working there were very friendly and chatty. I understand they get new inventory all the time, so I plan to go back soon.

They also have knick knacks, jewelry, pottery, toys, art, and more. The store was quite busy with customers while I was there. It was nice to see. The staff was friendly and helpful, quickly opening glass cases when I wanted to see something. Their inventory is so large I found it difficult to see everything in one visit. Their prices are reasonable. I ended up buying some California pottery, a framed floral print, and an MCM trinket dish. I'm looking forward to returning and taking another look around the store. There is a parking lot in the back of the building. Note: Some vendors have modern items mixed in with their antiques. A quick Google image search before you buy is a good idea if you care about the age of an item.

If you like vintage smalls, this is the place for you. They have lots of costume and sterling silver jewelry, glassware, ceramics, linens, toys, and just random treasures. The shop is so packed I had to go around twice to make sure I didn't miss anything. The two ladies working there this afternoon were friendly and helpful. They cheerfully unlocked the glass cabinets when I wanted to see something and there was never any pressure to buy. I learned the shop has been there for 44 years. I really wanted to support this small local business, so I bought a green Buddha statue for a shelf at home that needed refreshing. I'm happy with my purchase and I hope this shop is around for many more years.
