Hubby and I were in the area to purposely look for antique places to shop at. We did browse through a few others in the area, but Grant's was definitely the catch of the day for us.
It's located in a small-ish shopping center; probably around a dozen total shops in this small area. Close to the main streets.
When you walk in, it's not that big of a shop, so you full see how every place is filled from floor to ceiling with lots of knicks and knacks. It was great :) There were some things that weren't for sale (namely, items in the window), but everything else seemed to be. Saw some great small and big pieces of furniture, glassware, ceramics, international items, jewelry, gems, beer steins....there were just a lot of different things to look at. The merchandise that caught my eye were some of the pocket watches he had that were NOT quartz, and they were working! Totally cool. The owner was also cool enough to show how he figures out what items are actually made of silver, and which ones are steel, so that was a cool demo :)
Overall, will probably come by again. He definitely has a few gems. The only unfortunate thing is that it can be a pretty small shop, so there's only so many people that can be at the store at a given time. But, Grant was cool..and the AC was on! :P read more
