    i loooove this place!! i absolutely love going on hunts for the kitties while looking around

    Darling place to find very specific MCM items. Clothing selection for 70-80-90s is a hit here as well. The two cats are sweethearts too! I had a fabulous shopping experience alittle expensive but this is a very specific style of store for Knoxville. Worth it Found this and thought how sweet! Under $40 to!

    I have really gotten into antiquing over the last few months and this is by far my favorite place to go in Knoxville. It's set up like an antique mall, where there are tons of different booths- all with different vendors and collections. The shop owners and employees are all so kind and helpful, we love chatting with them! It's always busy and there's tons of new stuff every time I go in. I have found so many unique items and have never left empty handed. I try to come once a month to allow for inventory turnover and I feel like I get lost in here for hours (in a good way!) every time.

    This place is so cute! So many different things, clothing, collectables, stickers, and the cats are adorable! My husband and I came in, got a few post cards and of course I pet the cats! They are twin brothers. They even have some fan merch with the cats on them, like t-shirts and stuff! Amazing! Good parking, nice location, staff is so friendly and makes you feel at home. If you are in the area definitely come through!

    Nostalgia is the perfect name for this store. It always takes me back to my childhood seeing the antique Pyrex, the Tupperware glasses we used to stock the cabinets with, dishes, clothing, etc. They have been doing a live Facebook auction every other Wednesday where they run items on sale, which is a great way to grab a steal. They have 2 store cats that roam freely which are very friendly, one of them is Oscar, can't remember the other ones name. If you are in the area and have some time to kill go check this place out because you can literally spend hours in here. And you'll leave here feeling good, nostalgic. Hope you enjoy this place as much as I do! Cheers & Enjoy!!

    Great find! All the little booths had many treasures. Very well stocked & lighted. I loved that most of the store had a lot of mod items... Owls, mushrooms, etc.

    Mid-Mod mecca! All things 50s, 60s and 70s only in this spot. Everything is in impeccable condition…read moreand you'll pay top dollars for top notch vintage. Although I found it to be outside my wallet price point, I really appreciate how Todd and his wife concentrate on mid-century vintage. This come-back era is hot right now and specialization gives them the ability to focus on quality pieces. All items are cleaned and treated - absolutely ready to be brought home. Super high end. I mean, you could eat right off those bright avocado green plates. Here's my two cents on why spot-clean is critical. It might go without saying in this business..but whoa!...presentation and suggestion for homeware use and decor is key. Especially for mid-mod items, the cleaner the pieces, the more vivid the color which just throws you right into back into mid-mod environs. They do a terrific job here. (I mean, do you want to take home a dusty, faded-color, fondue tray which lost its elements that evoke the era?) The whole shop knocks my socks off! Product displays are very well done and you are jolted back in time the moment you walk in the door. The vignettes keep a steady theme and the colors totally pop. Just like they did mid-century. Here is what you'll find: tables, mirrors and furniture, lots of lamps, plenty of paintings, canisters, radios, knick-knacks, funky book ends, lots of owls, plates and bowls and zillions more. They really do pack it in here. And they have so much more to display. I see this really as the showcase boutique for their online shop. Todd told me the story of how he and his wife fell in love with all things mid-mod whey bought their 1960s-something home. Try to catch them on the 1st and 3rd weekends of the month. The shop is only open occasionally. Definitely worth a visit.

    This store has THE BEST selection of retro canisters, beautiful & groovy embroidery art, funky ash…read moretrays, dish ware sets, furniture, and tons of mushroom items! I was in awe by the quality and quantity of their retro stock which was all in mostly amazing condition, ready to be brought home, clean, and the colors really pop and haven't lost their unique brilliancy! Very clean store and helpful customer service. Although it was a little over priced, I found a few items I was willing to buy without thinking about the price too much.
