I found some really good used books for my kids and one for me, and several of the others in my group walked out with clothes, jewelry, a really cool old cookbook from the 1930s, and even a beautiful, ornate-looking ottoman.

Strange hybrid (vintage clothing/jewelry and lamps) that somehow works, probably because most…read moreeverything in the store is Art Deco or a little later. Clothing, hats, and (tons of) jewelry are in fabulous condition, but the prices reflect that. If you're looking for a fedora or a ladies hat to go with your vintage Chanel, this is the place. I'm not sure where you'd wear it, but check out the long green velvet cape in the front window. Very Gothic, or Jane Eyre, or fairy princess. Some furniture, books, and other stuff, but the main attractions are the dozens of unusual fixtures hanging from the ceiling. There are also floor lamps. One-of-a-kind stuff. But, again, the prices give you pause; a pair of Deco milk glass pendants were $895. Lamp repair seems to be a major thing here, and they'll also do appraisals (I don't know if that's just for jewelry or what.) Fun to browse, but I haven't been tempted to buy. The guy repairing a lamp in the back said hi but didn't offer any help. And I think this is the kind of place where you need help.

One of my absolute favorite shops for so so many reasons... First, I am OBSESSED with vintage,…read moreparticularly Art-Deco and Mid-Century, jewelry which is beautifully displayed and organized in rows of carefully curated display cases making shopping this enormous collection a much more manageable endeavor. Amazingly, Karen, the owner, is not only extremely knowledgeable and helpful but knows where just about every little thing is at all times!! While the jewels are my primary target, the lamps and vintage clothing, especially the hats and furs, are to die. I have been shopping here for many years, as have numerous friends I've sent in, and am always surprised by the treasures I discover. Since moving to NYC, I long to make more frequent visits as even the city does not boast stores of this quality in terms of selection, value and expertise. I have also had several pieces repaired - including a Robert Lee Morris belt buckle - all of which are now in even better condition than they had been originally. Other reviewers have mentioned that the prices are either high or unfair and I strongly disagree. Clearly they do not understand the value or quality of this type of merchandise. Karen carefully selects, repairs and restores costume jewelry from many well-known jewelers as well as anonymous original pieces - the likes of which are often cheaply replicated and may be difficult for some to distinguish from the real deal. Trust me, it is worth it to by an authentic piece that you will either have for many years or be able to resell at a later point.

The prices are incomparably low - I've walked out of there with a bag of stuff for less than $5 on several occasions. They have dishware, houseware, kitchenware, fabric, crafting supplies, books, movies, sheet music, toys, jewelry, and a whole room of clothing upstairs (plus fitting rooms!) If you love treasure hunting, The Barn is a must-visit for you!

The White Rabbit is such a fun find! Emily is the owner and she's there every time I've gone to…read morethis charming store! The store has so many cool and interesting little things, like beaded keychains, hair accessories, candles, jewelry, greeting cards and decor. Some of it is vintage and some is locally hand made. The back of the store is the thrift clothing section. Everything looks to be in excellent shape. There's also records, shoes and purses. I saw a Dior coat, and some items by Burberry and by Alexander McQueen. They are selective about their selection of items they accept. There isn't any of that awful stuffy smell. It feels and looks like everything is brand new. It's easy to look and touch things without the fear of everything falling. This store isn't stuffed at all. I can't wait to return and see what else they have.

The back clothing section is overpriced and not very well curated... quality is not cohesive throughout, with some very cheap feeling items being priced high just like more expensive feeling items.

The shop owner is so friendly and has spent many years helping me select a formal to wear for annual banquets & ceremonies. You can find anything from casual to dressy casual to formal attire, with shoes & accessories to complete the look. It's truly a one-stop shopping boutique where you'll pay much less for gently used name brands. The items are all in excellent condition. Looking for a designer purse? She's got you! Makes a great gift! How about a new holiday look? Plenty to choose from! I picked a few holiday tops today. She has a full range of sizes in juniors, misses, and plus size. I saw some gorgeous table settings for a Christmas gathering that will stand out! Check out my photos!

If I wore jewelry (I'm so uncoordinated with that), it would be a treasure trove of pieces from the 1930s on up. The staff is the best kind of quirky, and jumps in to assist at a moment's notice. I literally went in last year not having any idea of what I wanted to do for Halloween, and came out as the ghost of Jackson Pollock!! For realzies! They prefer cash (and all rentals require a cash-only deposit for the total cost of the items, but you get two-thirds of it back when you return them), but take checks and CCs for purchase over $20. Plus, some weekends they have sidewalk sales, which is waaaayyyy more fun than digging through some rando's front yard! Two thumbs up!

By the time we got to the front of the line, the display cases were mostly empty of baked goods (it was a bakery kiosk!) but we shared one (1) chocolate pretzel croissant.
