After living on the East Coast for a few years, I became of the mindset that antique stores fell…read moreinto one of two categories: The first is the museum-like antique shop. With a very limited selection and sky-high prices, don't even bother looking; you won't be able to afford anything but the disdainful stares of the owner. The second is the antique store garbage dump store. It smells, things are piled every which way, and everything is filthy dirty. It's cheap but you are pretty sure that something may have died in there and you feel a little dirty just looking. So having said all of this, I come now to Father Time Antiques. This store falls into neither of the aforementioned categories. Father Time is spacious, well-lit and without a pungent odor. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable. The store's offerings, via many different vendor booths, displays and cases, are diverse and reasonable-prized. A great place for vintage and antique furniture, lighting, jewelry, glassware, knickknacks and just about everything in-between. Also, every purchase is impeccably packaged to make sure it makes it home with you in the same condition you bought it in.

They have a plethora of items to browse around. From beer taps, old wind up phones, football jerseys, glassware, beer paraphernalia, hats, decanters, artworks, to skis & paddles. Although the quality of most items is very good, prices tend to be on the high side.

They don't lack of other types, but you can find lots of fabric with thematic images. For example, you can find moose, cabins, loons, turtles, rocks, water, etc., and that's just in one set of shelves. I even found some Minnesota-themed fabric. It is worth noting that they are happy to cut you a fat quarter if that's what you prefer. They also have a large assortment of patterns and books. I wish this place were closer to me (I'm in the Twin Cities), because I love the selection of wares. If you like quilting, you must stop in here!

Not a soul asked if I needed any help. I looked, but couldn't find anyone. I needed some basic bulky weight wool like Brown Sheep or something similar to make a hat. I didn't recognize any of the yarn names and couldn't figure out how it was sorted couldn't what I was looking for. I also could have used some basic worsted weight yarn along with the correct knitting needles or crochet hooks. I looked for someone to ask. They weren't busy. I was the only customer. I said, "hello" and no one answered. That said, the yarn supply is amazing. The shop is stunning. I wished for more time to explore for both yarn and an employee. Im sure they were busy elsewhere.
