She has a lot of old cool books, jewelry and straight treasures. The owner is awesome, very kind, positive and extremely intuitive. I haven't had an official psychic reading by her yet but she's the real deal. I know because I'm a (non pro) psychic too! I was drawn into the shop for the first time by its strong positive vibrations. I had to backwards walk to the door and see what it was. That strong. So you never know what you'll find in the store or find out about yourself in a reading! Check it out! The indoor mall itself is very cool.

I was inspired to create a tiered serving piece when looking at work from a local artist, and we will be back again after the holidays to see what they have to offer.

( Worth supporting them all year long, really!) This one of a kind store is set up in a large 2 story farm house adjacent to the Stop and Shop plaza in South Windsor (directly across the street from the CVS) with a large private parking lot. The store sells everything from jewelry, wall hangings, decor, furniture, baby items, knick knacks and right now a slew of Christmas decorations ranging from small trees, wreaths, wall hangings, ornaments, etc. I went in last night and spent almost an hour looking at everything. You really have to go through each room to peruse because otherwise you might easily miss something! I actually went in just to look because I remembered loving their Christmas decorations, but I ended up finding a couple presents for a friend's upcoming birthday. The staff here is very friendly and nice to strike up a conversation with while you are here. They will explain the layout of the store if you have never been in before and will gladly gift wrap for you. The gift wrapping is so cute too!! The woman working last night also told me that if you are cutting it close to when they are closing you can call and they will gladly stay open late for you. (They are open extended hours right now for the Christmas season, but I would call as the website is not updated.) What great and unheard of customer service! I haven't yet pulled all my Christmas decor out, so I know I will be back soon. I need to take an inventory of what I have before I buy more, but I know an ornament or two, at the very least is in order. Stop in, you will not regret it!

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.

Negotiations saved me some money, so definitely haggle. Plus wear good shoes, because you'll be doing a lot of walking. Fortunately, it was a sunny and warm day. It's a really just nice to look around and see the variety of stuff. I can imagine a rainy day being a drag to go around. So the markets consist of a bunch of separate adjacent sites along Route 20. We went to Brimfield Auction Acres, which is the OG spot. Had to pay $5 to park there but being in the center of it all was worth it. Shelton across the street is the second oldest, so we went there as well. We might've wandered into one or two others at the end, but there are so many more vendor sites. The vendors and the selection of items vary, so some may think it's junk, others think it's treasure. Just do a "fly-by" around the tents and find one that interests you. Don't forget, there are a lot of more hidden things being sold, so it may take a bit of luck to find something. My purchases varied: from a Sinatra vinyl, to a painting of a 18th century frigate, to a cheese knife, to an old small Christmas tree decoration from Denmark, to packs of hockey cards from the 90's. I saw some other pretty interesting things, including a Continental Army cannon from the Revolutionary War, which was a little more than my wallet could handle. If you're hungry, there are a bunch of food trucks and some eating areas. Bathrooms are mostly porta-potties. Parking and admission vary from place-to-place. I think most places don't charge though.

The man working at the counter was friendly and helpful. My friend and I appreciated that he seemed to enjoy his job - that made our shopping experience even better. I also think that someone who set things up outside has a wonderful sense of humor, because there was a doll sitting in a chair looking into a mirror. You know I had to get a picture of it!
