For the past 2 weeks I've been on the hunt for specific treasures. On my first visit, I asked the…read moreManager if they had seen these type treasures in their huge store and they said 'yes, please take all the time you have to look through all the store selections.' So I started my search knowing that I only had so much free time that particular day, and I am thrilled to say I found what I was hoping to find and I made my purchase quickly. The second visit was just as productive and I found another treasure of personal value. Now, I wasn't looking for junk on either of my searches and I didn't see any junk. I look forward to my next adventure at Bama Flea Mall & Antiques!

Very cool and surprisingly large indoor flea/antique mall. It's just a bit off the highway. Lots of…read moretoy booths inside which is great for an old toy dealer like me. Bought a few things will go again my next trip east

On A Shoestring Trading located on Shades Crest Road in Bluff Park is like taking a trip back in…read moretime! The eclectic antique collection and selection is mind blowing, because there isn't a vacant spot anywhere in the house. There were all sorts of vintage glassware, crystal, dishes, shaving mugs, books, hand tools, hats, jewelry, window frames, lamps, paintings and on and on. It will take me more than one trip to see and process everything in the house. And lucky me because today - everything in the house was 25% off - everything. The Gentleman Owner is a most interesting person to meet as he shared the history of the house when I asked him when the house was built. I did make a small purchase today, but that's only because I'm still trying to process everything that I saw and what I want to purchase on my next visit. I will always value my trip to On A Shoestring Trading simply because I had the opportunity to meet the Owner. Such an experience! And there's enough free parking in front of the store, but you could park and walk from the nearby restaurants. I hope you will visit this place someday soon!

On-a-Shoestring... not sure where the name comes from... but cool shop…read more Really like this place as I tend to dig looking around old, antique-y places and such. Some might call that "antiquing" I just call it liking to look around old, antique-y places and such. This place is no different. There's literally stuff packed in every corner of the main level, the upstairs, the somewhat basement level as well as outside in the yard. There are plenty of windows, doors, shutters and other woodworks for re-purposing if you're into that. Most are fairly priced by comparison to other places. Overall however, the store can be a bit expensive in it's pricing. Also they only take cash or checks as forms of payment so if you're headed over here, be sure to take one or the other. Overall, great shop!

I have always loved shopping at the various thrift stores in Birmingham, way before it was trendy…read more This one happens to be one that's close to where I live, and one of my favorites. Over the years, I have found some really great pieces-from clothing and shoes, to handbags, to furniture...I've found treasures! If you go and don't find what you're looking for, stop back another day. If you see something you want, get it then because someone else will beat you to it! Prices have gone up over the years but you're still saving money from what the item originally cost. Lovelady Center, located not far from the store, helps women get back on their feet after going through tough times. They turn your donations into profit that helps them support their residents. In fact, most, if not all, the ladies that work here, are connected to Lovelady in some way. They are either current residents or have been helped in the past. You should really look up their story. If you like to shop, especially in thrift stores, you must check them out!

I have shopped in this store several times and I will continue to do so, because the service is…read morevery, very good. There is a wide variety of donated items to choose from at reasonable prices. And the positive impact of the Associates working as fast as possible to replenish each section of the store is heartwarming. I made two purchases the day I was at Lovelady in Irondale, and Good Lord Willing, I will be back soon.

I've frequent a few of these antique , used/ consignment stores lately. I really like this one!…read more The layout is arranged nicely but with not as many booths as some of the other stores of it's same kind. I prefer the smaller scale because it's easier to navigate and way less overwhelming! The inventory consists of a number of unique , new and used items. I didn't buy anything but my sister made a purchase. She likes this store as well and finds their pricing to be fair. This is a very clean store with a large parking lot. The staff is really nice and very hand ons with customers. If you are in or near the Childersburg area , I recommend stopping in to Sweet Pickins'!

Very nice antique store. They have jewelry, small ornaments, furniture, glasses caps and an…read moreassortment of odd and end selection to choose from. I stop sometimes just to see what $5.00 albums or CDs I can browse. They also have $10 and up which is still good price. It's worth a try. The scented candles are awesome as well. Service was cool too. They take cash

My family visited a number of flea market/antique shops in the Birmingham area recently. This one…read moreis by far the nicest place. It's very clean and seems almost new. It's quite a bit more upscale than what is in the offerings than other places, but I think there are bargains to be had. Definitely worth visiting.

On November 21 in the year of our Lord 2024, I walked into this establishment prepared to spend…read moremoney. However the lady in the store looked right past me to speak to someone else who had come in. She then looked me up and down as if I was something sure had stepped in. She then felt the need to alert another person who still did not greet me but just looked and fiddled. She then went to the back. I got the sense that I was not welcomed. I WONDER WHY. As much as she had exactly the item I was seeking, I refuse to spend another moment in that place and I definitely wouldn't spend my money there. Thank you for letting me know where I stand with you.

I didn't have a lot going on one day, so I stopped in on a whim. Just so happened to pick a day…read morethey were having an open house and sale, so booths had sales ranging from 10-75% off. There were also refreshments, and they had a drawing for a gift card. If you're looking to do your own "picking," this isn't it, but there are some nice items. Booths are curated collections of items both new and old, and while I didn't find anything I just had to have, and partly because I was just looking around, I didn't end up taking anything home that day. However, if I were looking for a period piece, or something to redo a room or space, I would consider looking here for something that isn't a big box, mass produced piece.

I enjoyed visiting Vintage Interiors very much today, and I especially appreciated the way I was…read morewarmly acknowledged when I entered the store. There was no pressure or hovering over and around me, which I for one like a lot. The interiors selection was just right for me - very cozy. I only noticed maybe one unoccupied booth and that's always a good sign to me. I made four purchases and at checkout I was surprised to find out that there was a 20% discount value for each item. How nice. It seems to me that the Owners still value the customer. For example, instead of tossing my purchases in a chintzy plastic bag, my purchases were placed in paper shopping bag with carrying handles. Call me silly, but it's those kinds of added touches that make me want to buy from shops/stores that make me feel appreciated. I hope you will treat yourself to a shopping trip at Vintage Interiors in Pelham in the very near future.

Very big selection of antiques to look at! I wanted to take the whole store with me. Helpful lovely…read morestaff as well.
