This is another one of the numerous antique stores in Aurora. The building itself is historical -…read morefrom the late 1800s - and impressive and beautiful from the outside. Inside, the store is full of cases and well laid out. However, it's extremely cramped - very narrow walkways, hard to maneuver. I wasn't terribly impressed with the selection. It's about 90% dishes and vases and 5% jewelry. The building clearly has more than one floor and other reviews mentioned an upstairs section - I wandered around and around trying to find it but was unsuccessful. Staff were scarce and the one I did see was brief and curt. Prices were a tad high for what's offered. Probably my least fave antique store I visited in the town. Parking is all street parking and ample - very historic and cute town worth exploring.

Lots and lots of dishes, serving pieces, glassware and utensils. They have some complete utensil sets and some where they are still collecting all of the pieces. Obviously they love a good hunt! They also had individual knives, spooNw and forks you can buy if you need replacements, which I do. Fell in love with the vintage blue onion Danube China displayed in mass on a China cabinet. My mother had the same China; she ate her soft boiled egg every morning from an egg holder just like the one they had displayed. Memories came flooding back! I had to snap pics to send to my brother, who remembered the dishes but had no idea it was china! For me, that's why I love going to antique stores. It's not only about finding a treasure to purchase, but the memories that are awakened when you happen upon an item you didn't even think about for decades until you see it on a shelf, somehow standing out amongst the hundreds of items surrounding it. - The ornate crystal decanters with silver caps and handles? Yep, my Nana had three of them. - The coffee table where you could display needlework under the glass? My grandmother proudly displayed her talents there. - The champagne fur jacket? My mom had one just like it! - The light blue princess telephone? My first phone with a "teenage" line I shared with my brother. Yes, there was such a thing back in the day. Wish I had kept it! That shade of blue is still my favorite color. Antique stores are as much about these moments of remberence that ignite smiles as they are about purchasing something. I left without buying anything but was warmed by the memories my visit ignited.

I really love the China in my parents and grandparents homes and this store had many of their patterns, plus Wedgewood, vintage Ball jars in different colors and silver pieces which looked to be in beautiful condition. They also had some beautiful jewelry made out of old silverware, including a necklace that I bought. The sales woman I talked to was super friendly.

If you're at all into browsing around antique shops, put this adorable city on your radar - even…read morethe city itself is an antique, having been founded in the late 1800s as a religious commune. It's super cute and historical - complete with its own walking tour! Aurora is a hidden gem - and is less 30 minutes south of Portland! The city is pretty small so it's definitely doable as a day trip depending on how long you want to spend antique-hunting. I've never seen so many antique stores in one place - there are at least 10 within walking distance, and a lot more if you include the ones outside of the quaint little Main Street area. PRO TIP: don't visit on a Monday though - as tons of the shops and restaurants are closed oddly enough. The city centers around historical Main Street which is pleasantly walkable and offers clean public restrooms and picnic tables to take a break on. It also offers a really interesting self-guided walking tour of the historic buildings and town called the "Emma Walk" and you can find it online here: https://olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2013R1/Downloads/FloorLetter/460 Another little fun fact - Aurora is the home of Life Flight - the largest nonprofit air ambulance company in the country - who knew?!! There are lots of cute boutique hotels and restaurants in the area - as well as major chains in nearby Wilsonville if that's your thing. Every summer they have a fun festival called Colony Days. The town is easy to find - right off I-5. And there's lots of public parking in the Main Street area. Aurora is really a true hidden gem - I'd never heard of it and only stumbled upon it after digging around on Google looking for a fun place to stay on my way out of Oregon that's close enough to PDX but not inside the city lol. Definitely worth a day trip!

There are some vintage items and antiques - but there's also a lot of unique art, fun bucolic yard items, a room full of denim, and a huge area full of antique books! It's a large, farmhouse style building but it's all on one floor. The shop was clean and well organized with a good flow and very relaxing colors - easy to meander. I had a nice chat with the owner (I think she was the owner) - and they were even giving away hand lotions on my visit. Parking is all street parking but ample. This shop sits just outside the Main Street strip of antique stores but on the corner so it's very walkable from the main area and well worth a stop.

But wander into the store and you will be amazed at how many gift items are inside. So many, it is a bit dizzying at first! So much to look at every which way you turn so I took my time, wandered in and out of every nook and corner and then took a second lap! Here is what I saw: -Bright metal yard art - think giant coneflowers and flamingos and birds. -Dried and faux flowers. -Dish towels - I bought white ones with turquoise & orange cats all over. -Guest napkins. -Gnomes for Fall, for Christmas, for summer. -Candles. -Soaps. -Books. -Framed prints. -Jewelry. -Plants. -Pots. -Pillows. -Throw blankets. -Wind-charms. -Greeting cards. -Chocolate. Sprinkled throughout are seasonal decorations. On this day, there were lots of fall and Halloween items as well as Christmas trees and ornaments. Loved the clip on succulent ornaments and may just have to go back for a dozen. I am sure there was more than what I listed but you get the point! There is a lot of stuff! And it's nice and reasonably priced. Located closer to the Post Office a little away from the row of shops, don't miss this shop!

Throughout the shop, which is located in an old house, there are lots of nooks and crannies filled with gift collections like fancy soaps, greeting cards, albums, jewelry, and delicious teas. There is a second story that is filled with more furniture and home decor. While my style is more a mid century, I definitely appreciated the quality of items and the.

I barely had time to explore - I almost didn't visit bc it was a Monday and I thought they were closed Mondays but they just started their summer hours and are open 11-3 on Mondays!! I barely made it before close but the staff were so nice and let me have a quick run around. Prices are decent for the area - antiques seem to be a tad pricey in this town - possibly bc it's their claim to fame. It's in a great location though in this lovely historical town. Parking is all street parking but abundant and easy to navigate. Definitely worth exploring!
