I love the leather goods here - there are these European leather couches and chairs that are of top quality and you can get them here for a steal. You sit on them and immediately sense the quality.

The variety and prices and cookies from Italy I love. I'm tired with junky junk food. Give me the best. If you are a super bargain hunter check out the clearance section.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Vintage Owl. Laurie and her team completely transformed…read moremy dull, dated early-90s bedroom furniture set into something that feels timeless, elevated, and absolutely beautiful. What was once heavy, yellowish, stained, scratched and tired is now a dreamy creamy light beige with the most gorgeous detailing. They thoughtfully retained and carefully cleaned the original hardware, which adds so much character and charm. The delicate veneer wood tops on the nightstands were expertly restained and now look rich and intentional rather than worn. Beyond the cosmetic transformation, their craftsmanship and service truly impressed me. They repaired broken dresser drawer tracks so everything functions smoothly again, and they even fixed an old light inside one of the drawers that hasn't worked in years. The entire set feels brand new while still honoring its original character. It's rare to find someone who combines artistry, attention to detail, and true restoration skill the way they do. If you're considering refinishing furniture instead of replacing it, this is your sign, and you will be absolutely thrilled with the result.

Jumped and hopped over across the street to satisfy my curiosity. Most of the items they have are used and/or most likely donated. There is plenty to look at but nothing that caught my eye. There is a wide variety of items for sale (clothing, shoes, paintings, toys, furniture, etc.) Some, however, are dated and required much needed maintenance. Most must have been there for some time because a lotta items had thick layers of dust. Some were also priced kinda steep. ($3 for free happy meal toys from McD's? I mean, if they were some kinda collectibles, $3 may be a bargain, but...) I walked out with a couple of still-tagged toys for the furbaby for the bargain price of $1 each. Otherwise, there was nothing else that caught my eye... ... at least, not for the price I want to pay. They do have a bit of following, though. There were a few "regulars" who walked in. Wasn't great, but it wasn't too bad. Might take awhile for that second visit, though...

As there are MANY candles and home decor goods, I proceed to open a jar at the register to explore the scent when she abruptly and rudely said "Don't open that! It's honey! The candles are over there!" Go figure. I doubt I'm the last adult person to mistake a jar for this, given the store merchandise ALL around (you don't see foodstuff, you see pillows, tchotkes and candles, not jars of honey that could be spilled). Needless to say I left thereafter and wished her good luck with business. Treat your customers with better service and respect. She was rude. I won't be shopping there, nor recommending other locals to shop there either. Inventory and decor style still the same from its inception years ago. Curious to see how long they remain in business.

It's no longer a dark and cramped museum of over-priced items that sit for literal years, gathering dust. It's now a bright, spacious, and dynamic place to shop and visit. The new owners (a young sister duo) have an incredible eye for pieces from every decade in the past 100 years. No matter what you collect - be it media, ephemera, kitsch, housewares, soft goods, lighting, home decor, clothing, jewelry/accessories, or furniture - you WILL find something that calls out to you for a price you can't resist. I especially enjoy chatting with Sam (the sister who happens to have been there each time I've visited) about our shared fascination with the stories behind, well, everything. There's just something about knowing where an object came from and who loved it first that makes it extra precious. Bonus: A cat museum - appropriate to the store name - is being planned. Stay tuned!
