The welcome I received was heartfelt by a couple of the owners sitting on the porch. Tina, one of the owners, informed me that this multi-vendor shop was opened by several ladies and they rent out space to other local vendors and artists. There is so much to see: some pretty stained glass, lots of vintage items, upcycled furniture, repurposed housewares, garden décor, cool and fun jewelry, vintage signs, handmade wood crafts, floral arrangements in retro jars and more than I can name here! I took home some funky jewelry, a welcome sign and a whimsical wooden owl for my Home. The prices were spot on and the folks were so sweet and attentive! I hope my GPS takes me this way again soon! Worth the stop!

She came back raving about how friendly the owners were and how badly she already wanted to return. On her next visit down, we took a ride out together and I can attest that her feelings about this spot were valid. They have two buildings. I preferred the stock in the house building. Lots of affordable home decor and jewelry, plus, yes, service was super kind! Big fan. I'd head back there for gifts in the future for sure.

I honestly can't say enough good things about Breana and her work through Brave Collaborative…read more She's painted three murals for me now -- two in my home and one outside my office -- and every single one has completely exceeded my expectations. They're bold, colorful, playful, and have this vibrant, feminine energy that makes every space feel so alive and joyful. Working with Breana feels like collaborating with a friend who truly listens and just gets your vision -- and then somehow brings it to life in a way that's even better than you imagined. She's thoughtful, professional, insanely talented, and just a genuinely kind human. Every time someone walks into one of the spaces she's painted for me, they comment on the murals immediately. Her work doesn't just decorate a wall -- it transforms the entire feel of the room. If you're looking for something meaningful, colorful, and uniquely YOU -- Brianna is your girl. I couldn't recommend her more!

I've participated in Dixon's online auctions for several years and have found the process to be…read morewell organized. For a buyer, they are a GREAT resource for furniture, vintage items, collectibles, etc. I've purchased some amazing things from solid wood, handmade Clore furniture, vintage cast iron (very collectible) cast iron pans to antique Persian area rugs, craft items, etc. If you know what you're looking for and are knowledgeable about the value of the items you're interested in, Dixon's is a wonderful experience! Even if you're not an expert and you bid on something that you like, you won't be disappointed. As for the people, I find them extremely helpful and easy to work with. Ed, Billy, Bruce and Ian are great!. Now that they have opened their location at Virginia Center Commons, the previews for their weekly in-house online auctions are even better. One thing that also sets Dixon's apart from some of the other auction houses is that they have staff available who will help carry and load items. For sellers, any kind of auction can be difficult emotionally. As someone who has "cleaned out" my elderly parent's home, the things that we/our parents value don't carry that same value for others. Consequently, you can't expect the "antique" desk that your mother treasured to be purchased for big $$. If it's that valuable to your family, KEEP IT! Or at the very least, establish an auction minimum for the item. That being said, I have regularly seen truly valuable antiques and fine, handcrafted furniture bring high prices at a Dixon auction. Collectors/folks who appreciate those items regularly preview their auctions so if your item is a standout , it will be noticed by the experts.

The owner gives you a hearty, neighborly welcome as you enter this menagerie of unique collectibles! I found an amazing antique lamp in the very first vendor booth! Fabulous condition and incredible price! Score! Every booth was just as interesting as the next! My hubby and I had a blast searching and picking through the treasures buried here. Some nooks are organized and well appointed, other are "junky" and you'll have to dig deep to find your prize. We rummaged through a box full of toys in one of the back rooms and found some quirky Pez dispensers. The owner was a doll, and just gave them to us! So fun for a Pezhead like me! Once you think you've seen it all, you'll find another maze leading further back into this labyrinth of antiques, treasures, gifts, rustic furniture and home accessories!
