What I love is that there's always something that brings back a memory. They always bring new items in so you have to buy what catches your eye right away. I've walked out with several records, plates, and gifts for others. The owner is so funny and nice and always willing to help look out for pieces you e been searching for. I have to notice too that the prices are really good too. When visiting Drip, you have to go here!

So many things in here that I grew up going to garage sales and seeing including the same style of plates that I grew up with in my grandma's house. They have books, knives, and every little knick-knack you could possibly imagine. They even have a music section in a 70s album section with all kinds of vinyl from past decades. The staff is excellent and was very helpful about informing me different items and their value. You could spend hours in here and it's definitely worth stopping in and seeing if there's something you like or remember growing up with! It's so nice that these antique stores help to keep old downtown areas alive

Our first visit to this store when we came to Blanco was a great experience. The young lady at the…read morefront was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. Even the younger girl working with her was polite. The store has a nice variety of items, although they're somewhat scattered throughout. Strike #1: This visit was the complete opposite. The woman at the front was rude and snappy from the moment we walked in. Last year we started downstairs, so when my daughter asked if she could go downstairs, I told her yes. Before I could even finish telling my kids that I was coming with them, the employee abruptly interrupted me and barked, "You have to stay with your kids at all times." That was already my plan. There was no reason to cut me off or speak to me like I was an irresponsible parent. Strike #2: My son found a toy he really liked. He pressed the button a couple of times to make sure it worked before asking me if he could get it. He was being patient and waiting for his turn to speak. Instead of giving him a chance, the same employee walked all the way from the front of the store upstairs just to scold him for pressing the button. It was completely unnecessary and made my son feel like he had done something wrong when he hadn't. Customer service can make or break a business, and unfortunately this visit was enough for me. I won't be spending my money here again, and I certainly won't recommend this store to anyone looking for a welcoming shopping experience.

The space is very truly a thrift shop--bit of everything everywhere in the main room, and it's very fun to walk around and look for little treasures! Kevin explained to me that he rearranges his shop pretty often (he cheekily calls the practice "funk shui") to get people's eyes on different items every time they come in. He tends to get his wares from estate sales, auctions, and considers himself a treasure hunter. And I must agree! Lots of treasures in Far Out, and I loved sifting through them. If you make your way in, you'll likely hear from Kevin that he's open to negotiation and bundling items for reasonable deals. He seems just to be genuinely excited to find cool items and give them new homes. And I appreciate that energy a lot. I came in looking, loosely, for some home decor as my husband and I outfit our home after moving back to Texas from Georgia. But nothing felt quite right on the decor side. But I saw some beautiful pieces and walked out of the store with a vintage book I was excited about. So I consider it a successful trip. :) Make a trip over to check out Kevin's treasures. It's worth it!

A couple of months ago, I decided to spend a day checking out thrift shops around the area. It had…read morebeen several years since I'd visited some of the local stores, so I mapped out a route that would let me hit several in one trip. Out of the Past Collectibles showed up in my search, and since I'd never been there before, I added it to the list. From the outside, I was excited. It didn't look as polished as some of the other stores, which made me think I might stumble across some great bargains. They also had a lot of interesting items displayed outside the entrance. Unfortunately, once I walked in, my excitement faded. The customer area is small, and it's packed with dusty items stacked so high that they don't always look particularly stable. The aisles are extremely narrow, and there just isn't much room to move around. I explored the small section to the left of the entrance, but another customer was browsing the only other aisle I could access, so there really wasn't any way to see the rest of the store without squeezing past. To be honest, I felt a little uneasy, like I was going to get trapped back there somewhere. I noticed a few pieces in a glass cabinet that caught my eye, but I ended up leaving and heading to the next, better-organized thrift shop on my list. A few weeks later, I happened to be driving right past the store on my way home from work and decided to give it one more chance. This time I was the only customer, so it was much easier to get around. As it turned out, the section I couldn't reach on my first visit was mostly records and other collectibles that just aren't my thing, and what I'd assumed was another aisle was actually blocked off for employees only. That meant the small section I'd already seen was really the part of the store that interested me anyway. The difference was that this time I knew what to expect, so I slowed down and started looking through the clutter more carefully. Before long I spotted an Early American Prescut piece I didn't already have... then another... then another. The woman working there noticed what I was looking at and helped me get to the pieces I wanted. They still had price stickers from wherever the store had acquired them, but she sold them to me for half of the marked prices, making them excellent buys. These are pieces I could have easily found on eBay, but without paying shipping. I also saw a couple of them later that day at another thrift shop for several dollars more. Walking away with all three pieces for $20 was definitely a bargain. So what do I think? It's an interesting little store. It's definitely cluttered--maybe even a little junky--but if you're willing to slow down and dig through the stacks, you can find some really good deals for fair prices. I'd also recommend visiting on a weekday if you can. The aisles are so narrow that even one or two other shoppers can make it difficult to get around, and my Friday afternoon visit was a much more enjoyable experience than my Saturday one. It may not be the easiest place to browse, but for the right shopper, it's worth taking the time.

I love this place because you can find some great and unexpected finds!…read more Last time I got a silver dish, a trinket box and a few costume jewelry rings. This time I got three sterling silver rings which I'm super stoked about! Usually a good price for most finds, but nothing has a price tag so you have to ask for prices for each item. Also pretty dusty and crammed. It doesn't bother me personally as long as I can find something cool, but looks like some folk are unhappy about it.

Ann and Eric helped us pick out a beautiful chandelier for our new vacation house in Telluride…read more What was amazing is that we were able to do it from Colorado. The chandelier we had purchased in Denver turned out to be too small to fit the space for which it was intended. So I searched online and found a chandelier that The Antique Swan had advertised on line. It looked like a perfect fit. We called and spoke initially to Ann, the owner, who is the nicest person and knows so much about antiques. Turns out my chandelier was purchased by Ann on one of her annual trips through Europe where she scours the countryside looking for interesting pieces to ship home to her store. It is cool to get a first person story of where your purchase came from. My chandelier came from an estate near Stratford on Avon in the UK. I can't say enough about how helpful Eric was in getting the chandelier to us in a hurry. We had them pack and ship it to us sight unseen. It got to us in 2 days and each piece of crystal was individually bubble wrapped. It was exactly as advertised if not better. I highly recommend The Antique Swan.
