If you love treasure hunting, plan to spend a few hours at Antique Gallery of Houston in…read moreSpring--you'll need the time! This place is massive, with booth after booth of unique finds. The booths are marked with a letter and number so you can keep track of where you've been! Every time I turned a corner, I discovered something different. From beautiful china and vintage collectibles to outdoor metal art and furniture, there's truly something for everyone. One of the coolest things I came across was furniture that had been used on movie sets. The workers were very friendly. When they saw us carrying items, they would tag it with our name and bring it to the check out counter so we didn't need to carry it while we browsed. I also appreciated that they have a small eating area on-site. After hours of shopping and exploring, it's nice to be able to grab a bite without leaving the building. This is the kind of place where you never know what treasure you'll find next. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the Spring area and enjoy antiques, collectibles, and one-of-a-kind pieces!

if you are a treasure hunter-- this should be on your treasure hunting list!…read more they have excellent finds and they know it, because the prices are high!!! or at least the pieces i found were expensive. bring your walking shoes, and get ready to get your steps in while you hunt! there is a snack bar conveniently located in the center of the gallery, which is an excellent idea! in the midst of all that shopping you may need a little bev or bite. however, i was on a mission no i did not partake in any of the gallery's culinary delights. don't be alarmed if someone who works there asks to hold the items for you at the front. they are very sweet. i know going thrifting can feel like you're on a battlefield and you have to protect your bounty... but don't worry one of the sweet ladies at the antique gallery will confidently babysit your treasures behind the counter. i popped in on a weekday morning and it was absolute perfection. it was quiet, and not a lot of customers. i actually had a ball all by myself hunting for treasures. definitely check it out, and happy hunting! c.

I noticed that they have a great seasonal layout and also many other trinkets and decorative deals to choose from. The store or house is pretty big and each room has even more memorable items which makes it interesting to see. For this to be such a big antique shop, it's really clean and feels like the house won't fall apart unlike some other antique shops we've been to. I thought majority of their items were over-priced just a tad, but the availability of options were seemingly endless. The staff was nice and helpful, and we do look forward to visiting again soo.

So I let myself through a latched garden porch gate. Upon entering a lady from behind the counter barked; "I'm not open!" Confused by her signage, she shrugged & explained to me she was there for Halloween inventory only & the gate was locked. "Feel free to put your Closed Sign up then." Having owned businesses & serving customers, I would never treat anyone that way. She must be spoiled. Well Camille, I will not buying from you EVER, nor can I recommend anyone to come see You.

I have been a fan of this store for a while on Facebook, and was excited to finally go check it…read moreout. I called the day before to make sure they had a pair of shoes I had seen on their Facebook page in stock and to verify their hours for the following day. I drove all the way to Old Town Spring from Montrose, just to find a sign saying they would return at 3:30. It was 2:45 and the store's open sign was up. Their Facebook status for the day indicated that they would be open until 5. I figured that I had come all that way, so I went to a nearby restaurant to kill some time. I returned to the store at 3:30 on the dot, but the closed sign was up and the note about being back at 3:30 was gone. I called the owner to find out what was going on. She starts to babble on about forgetting her son's doctor appointment and that in this economy, she's not going to hire any store help. She said I could wait on her for another hour and she would be back. I told her I had already wasted enough time waiting on her and was leaving. She treated me like it was my fault and told me everyone else makes appointments and that she's not open every day. I didn't see anything about appointments on her Facebook page, only hours of operation. Everything about this experience was disappointing and disrespectful. Oh well, I went to another store and got a cute pair of shoes for half the price I was expecting to pay here.

So... My friend Alana and I got pretty woman-ed on Saturday…read more After a shoot on Saturday, we decided to stop in this shop in Old Town Spring, called Vamp Vintage Clothing. I figured, maybe I find a cool shop to buy props from, and a place to refer my models to. When we walked in, we were not greeted, we were glared at. We start looking around, the shop owner gets up, walks to the door, locks and turns over the open sign to closed. She says 'it's closing time'. At 3:30? So we look around for a few minutes, then we leave, feeling the frigid chill in the air coming from the shop owner. She mumbles 'have a nice day' as we leave. I'm sharing this because I don't want my friends getting treated so rudely. This shop has a small variety of vintage clothes, and while they are cute, it's nothing I can't find somewhere else, with a much friendly attitude. And probably a cheaper price too. Good customer service goes a long way, but bad customer service will really get people talking. Guess if you want bad publicity, then keep up the good work, rude lady at Vamp Vintage Clothing.

The visit to this estate sale, Estate Sales of Champions, was not the best experience I have had…read more The woman in charge and cashing customers out was, let me say, lacking in the ways of politeness and kindness. I attempted gently to point out a glaring defect in an item I was nevertheless interested in, and I asked whether she would consider coming down on the price. In a cold and somewhat hostile tone, she told me, condescendingly, that she, of course, knows about the defect and she set that price anyway. She was steadfastly militant about not negotiating on the first day of a sale. So, I did not press the matter. What I don't understand is why she could not have communicated in a more respectful way. We both could have then parted ways with a good feeling. Alas, that ship did pass. I proceeded to pay for a couple of other items I had picked out, excluding the damaged one. However, when I requested a receipt, she behaved as if I was placing on her an excessive burden; after making a face, she quickly tore off a tiny corner of a piece of notebook paper, engaged in scribbling activity, and graciously provided me with what you see in the attached photo. I could not help pondering whether the IRS would lovingly accept this receipt, one that I could have had my 3 year old write up for me. I should add that I was the only one in line. So, it was not like there was pressure on her. Moreover, she had a receipt pad right there. She had used it right in front of me for the previous customer! I honestly don't understand her rudeness toward me. I was not aggressive but friendly when asking her about the damaged item she me as if I was not spending enough to be worth her so valuable it Yes, it could have been a person just having a bad day. Yet it seemed more like a person who has grown cynical in her job. I think owners and employees of estate sales (as well as other businesses) sometimes begin to despise their customers. At this point, maybe a change of profession is advisable. As for the prices, they were on the high side. One goes to estate sales for bargains, not to pay more than one might pay on Amazon or Ebay. I did find a couple of bargains but had to forgo a few overpriced items. So, it was certainly not the best experience I have had at an estate sale but not the worst either. I gave Estate Sales of Champions 3 stars because the other people working at the estate sale were, in stark contrast to the cashier, very friendly and helpful. I don't exagerate the pleasant and respectful treatment I recieved from the other people working the estate sale. They were great! I thank them. Also, I did find a couple of nice items. And the cashier, I suppose, deserves the benefit of the doubt. Everyone can have a mean, disrespectful, disparaging, condescending, and nasty day. I have encountered much worse at other estate sales, where one is treated not as a customer, but as a mark (See my review of the one and only Becky Thompson estate sale I will never knowingly attend). I am not crossing 'Estate Sales of Champions' off the list I would patronize. It is worth another try or two. And I would not yet discourage anyone from attending estate sales run by this company.
