I do not want to seem as though I am being too harsh, but I was pretty dissapointed when I did visit Chic Antiques. I saw that it was quite a drive but I was brought in by Facebook after seeing the many delights they said they would offer. I am really into the whole modern/rustic farmhouse vibe and we wanted to decorate our home. I decided to go on my own, and I expected to find tons of great items for great prices.
One of the worst things was trying to turn left in. It was a one way road and completely jam packed. There is no light, and it caused traffic due to the mini shopping event. Once I finally turned in, there was no open parking anywhere. I decided to park sorta on a side and out of the way. I walked in to many decor items that are beautiful.
Here's the thing... all of the items I saw were extremely overpriced! I went around Halloween time and I saw mini pumpkins for $16-24 and I thought that was absurd. It was especially absurd to me because there is this shop I went to, and the women makes the pumpkins herself and sold it to me for $6 and it was the same exact size. They were selling items from places like Hobby Lobby, or Marshall's and I recognized quite a bit. It felt like a store where they buy things and then upsell them for 2-3x the amount. Nothing I saw really felt worth the price. If they had reasonable prices I would consider buying from this store, however they were just too high for me to agree to purchase. I did send my husband a few photos and he laughed, telling me I could buy the same thing at Marshall's for $5 cheaper. I realize that many do this as a way to earn money, which is conpletely understandable. It just isnt the place for me unfortunately, and I do hope these lovely individuals make some sales. read more
