We've visited their Simsbury store a bunch of times, and we saw pretty much the same selection of low priced goods here in Glastonbury - men's & women's clothing, shoes, household goods, artwork, books, toys, etc. We caught a 50% off sale on clothing yesterday, and I walked out with a $15 blazer for $7.50. Pretty sweet, eh? All proceeds go to charity (The Village for Families) and the store employees are all volunteers. The two women we interacted with were as nice and friendly as could be, we really enjoyed chatting with them. Bottom line? You can score some great bargains and support a worthy charity all at the same time.

What a wonderful array of furniture on consignment that moves very quickly...so follow their website which is timely and informative. I did not find the coffee table that I now need for my gallery but will keep checking back. I did find a little treasure of a salt and pepper combo. There are many unusual gift items that are well priced and would make a hit.

I basically furnished my entire house from here, when I moved to town a few years ago. I have gone…read moreback to this store dozens of times since, and bought everything from my son's twin bed to a historical map of Wethersfield. Everything is very high-quality, great brands, and in like-new condition. The owner is clearly very picky about what is accepted. The reason I was inspired to write a review is that I recently purchased a wall clock. When I got it home, I realized it didn't work (there were batteries left in it, and they had broken so there was corrosion all over the battery terminal). When I brought it back and explained the situation, she refunded my money immediately.

I love going to vintage and antique shops, the good ones give me the feeling of going back in time…read more Circa Antiques & Collectibles is a lovely little shop in Old Wethersfield. In here I feel like I'm seeing my grandma's furniture pieces and other goods. This store is styled very tastefully. It's not at all overly packed, or crowded. Everything can be touched and seen. You'll find small armoires, rocking chairs, dressers, there are beautiful fine wool coats, brooches and jewelry. None of the small items are in glass, which is a bit odd. There are plenty of records and other collectibles. They have original maps of Wethersfield and other towns. All of the items are in excellent shape and I thought the prices were all very fair. This shop is lovely and very worthy of a visit, and maybe you'll find a great little gem to give a home to.

Do NOT recommend and you barely get any money because apparently our clothes were "too hard to style", not my problem everyone in there is basic and doesn't know how to dress themselves in anything except skinny jeans and a t-shirt. its no wonder this place has a 2 star review.

I went in one day just to sell a pair of shoes that didn't fit anymore and of course they have to stick to their line which I understand I guess. You'll always find more women's clothes and accessories than men's clothes but have been lucky enough to walk out with a pair of pants in a color that I don't have. Just come in and shop on your own as they seem to always be busy and can't really help you. I was informed that sometimes they have deals and sales and was suggested when buying some pants that I should come by in the next day to get a discount on a stuff a bag deal but sadly couldn't fit it into my schedule. I'm not sure if you can get more money at other consignment shops but I'm always willing to see if I can get some money for my clothing before donating the rest and with the location in the plaza you can walk to Friendly's or Bed, Bath and Beyond to kill time and then head down to the froyo or Panera in the same plaza to spend your few dollars that you got for your clothes. If you are in the area and looking to get some brands for cheap make sure you check out the item and see if there is a wear and tear as it is surprising they won't take your stuff that has that but they will sometimes sell that to you hmm...

My dream find would be a vintage Chanel but that hasn't happened yet so I continue wandering through antique shops. I love the feel and the history behind each piece. It's always cool to imagine what the previous owner was like. I don't really seek out high end pieces simply because I don't have the funds but I do like finding items with tags. I wandered into this shop this weekend and had a blast. I will have to admit they have TONs and TONs of scary looking dolls. Collectible dolls have a spooky feel to them. Side street parking. The area is beautiful to walk around but I wish there was more shops there. If more shops were around this would be a great place to spend an entire day. Street parking is permitted for up to 2 hours. If you go over that and get a ticket bring your ticket with receipt in and it magically disappears. I didn't have any issues with parking but it's nice to know. Overall this place is amazing for those looking for an afternoon of sorting. I like that this shop doesn't smell like OLD people stuff. Prices are a tad higher than what I'm used to. I found some cool salt and pepper shakers.

They offer paint and all the supplies you need so you can paint it your self. This is such a unique concept. In addition to the wide assortment of furniture, you'll also find some small locally made goods, like candles and hair accessories. This is a very small store, the items are placed so intentionally, so there is plenty of walking room, without the fear that you'll walk into anything. I really loved Cindarella's Attic, if you're looking for a special accent chair, or a dresser in a unique color this is the place to go.

Jessica is pretty talented when it comes to refinishing furniture so we don't need to pay someone else for their time, since Jessica can do it just as well. She uses great colors, her prices are fair, and she gets some pretty quality pieces. So far we've bought a Thomasville french provincial dresser and a 1930's Art Deco vanity. She does have pretty nice costume jewelry (not really my thing I am a dude), paint for furniture, handmade soap and other assorted items (we got some pretty sweet porcelain door knobs too). We haven't attended one of her classes, but on Saturdays you can learn how to paint furniture (shabby chic style), and you leave with the piece you worked on.
