I fell into this intriguing Antique store on the main st. of Park Ave. It has 2 levels of pretty much anything ranging from Furniture, clothes, knick knacks and various things which are anything that constitutes as " antiques". I had bought a Hockey Jersey which has the infamous Friday the 13th villain but definitely in mint condition never worn. Sports memorabilia and Throwback jerseys and hats. The cashier was super friendly and helpful. It has something for everyone and also has reasonable prices.

Charming, eclectic, beautiful, and always full of unexpected treasures. I always find something special here: beautiful soaps and oils, fun nostalgic T-shirts, and the cutest cat-themed pieces. We've found cat earrings that my daughter absolutely loves seeing me wear, and this time I found the most gorgeous black cat scarf for her. ‍ And of course, I always manage to find something for myself too. This visit it was three camisoles that I can wear under things or on their own, practical and fun at the same time as it takes me back in time. Marty has such a wonderful eye for unique pieces, and every visit feels like a little treasure hunt. It's one of those special Alameda shops that just keeps me happy that I hope doesn't go away!

I highly recommend using Lynn's of Alameda for your estate sale. Jen and David of Lynn's took the…read moretime to walk through the house and provide an accurate assessment of the value of all the items in the home. They cared about the items in the home as if they were there own. They provided a comprehensive service, were professional, detailed, with excellent communication. Our goal was to empty the house, which they did by hosting an estate sale, donating items that didn't sell and moving items to landfill that needed to be moved (my mother in law lived in the house since 1969 and some items could not be sold or donated). And the staging of my mother-in-laws home and items was impeccable! Jen understood we wanted to maximize the price of the items, clean out the house and reduce the amount of inventory going to landfill - all three were accomplished!

I first visited this shop during a samhain themed magical market they held, and it was so packed it…read morewas impossible to really browse like I would have wanted, although the market itself was lovely. I recently came back, and this review is primarily for that experience. The store itself is warm (at times uncomfortably so) but they do absolutely everything they can to keep folks comfortable while shopping including cold water, a fan by the books that is incredible, and they have some seats where one can rest if they get overly warm. I suspect the store temp itself is out of their control given the care with which they make their customers comfortable. As i wandered, Ash checked in on me several times. It was never in a way that made me feel watched or uncomfortable, and always about different products I was looking at, checking to see if I had any questions. The amount of attention felt personal but not overbearing as some small shops like this can be. We had a bit of a fun chat about crystals, which is one of his specialties. I will say the products there are high quality, and some of the prices reflect it. While some things were more than I'd prefer to spend for the item, it wasn't because the value isn't there, it just meant I couldn't buy thr whole store, although I wish I could have! I bought a statue, some items in jars, a cast iron mini cauldron because I use them for safe burning in ritual, and a fairy stone that was unique and calling me. I finished with an impromptu 20 minute tarot reading from Isabella. I have been reading tarot cards 27 years, and haven't had a professional reading in almost a long, but it just felt right in the moment. It was a general reading about my next life steps, and while the specifics are my own to hold onto, I will say that the information she shared directly reflected some very specific things about my life. I generally view tarot less as predictive and more as an exercise in reflection or reading influences, and this met that and then some. There were even a couple of times that specific things were mentioned that while I remained neutral didn't quite fit my way of being (little things like writing vs voicing thoughts), and as soon as the initial statement was made, she would say or.. and then say the exact alternative that would be more aligned with my personality. The fact that it happened at least 3 times, and that it wasn't just a series of examples but almost a self correction to what aligned with my energy, told me a lot about the connection Isabella has to her clients. In addition to the incredibly on point reading, she had such a warm and welcoming energy that I'm already tempted to plan my next reading, even though the reading reinforced my intuition about what I should be doing. Reading your own cards is great, but sometimes your opinions and bias can prevent you from considering other options. Having an incredible reader like Isabella available to give an outside read is a great tool. I will absolutely be back!

Even knowing this it felt like I should have worn a thicker jacket. The kids and wife were freezing and we had to get them used sweaters and a blanket from vendors on site. It's a curated selection of antiques, vintage good, and clothes so it will be more expensive than traditional flea markets. They have foods on site on the right side with normal items like coffee and breakfast burritos all the way to ube waffles and fried chicken. There are some treasures here if you are willing to go digging: -Near the front was a lady that had preserved bugs that were mounted in nice displays or frozen forever in blocks of acrylic. These are locally made and some of the species I haven't seen before preserved and available for purchase. -Seaglass and antique glass merchants. Saw two of these guys and liked the odd rainbow patina for glass that has spent decades in ocean water. -Japanese wood medicine boxes, these were decorated with old stickers and looked so good for storing items. They were 40-70 each and were priced well below market value.

Wow quite simply a vintage lover's dreamland! I have been…read moremeaning to visit this little gem. And I finally got my chance this past Saturday. Simply put these ladies have a great eye for vintage and have a vast array of items. It is all here for the taking from vintage handbags, gloves,jewelry, hats, slips, dresses, beaded sweaters, skirts, and other items too numerous to mention. All the items have carefully curated nothing smells fowl or of mothballs either. The items are displayed so beautifully too! The owners Claudia and Lucy are so knowledgeable they really know of what they are selling. I was thrilled with their inventory. Never have I wanted so many items which is rare for me and vintage! I am quite particular of what I buy and collect. I was taken with the quality and the reasonable prices for their wares. The store was having a red line sale this past Saturday if the item has a red line across the price tag it is 50% off! I walked out with two vintage purses for a mere $ 12.00 each. You cannot buy a brand new purse for that price and not of such quality either. Lucy invited me to a cocktail reception that her and Claudia were hosting from 5:00 to 8:00 P.M. I was impressed with their customer service and the ambiance of the store I will be back. I signed up for their email list as well. That way I have first dibs on upcoming sales and promotions! Happy hunting gals! I was hesitant to give such a glowing review as this is such a treasure in Oakland. I don't want other girls grabbing my must haves! But this place deserves a 10 star if it was all possible. Thank you Lucy and Claudia for welcoming me into your store! I will be back in the future.
