This was the first shop my hubby and my friend went into as we began our shopping spree on Main St…read more It looked promising with a lovely window display and intriguing items inside. We noticed many animal items, horses, dogs, foxes, etc. on everything from pillows to jewelry. Some of the items were pretty pricey... I mean, $265 for a hand painted pillow is well, full of stuffing! We were greeted by an eccentric older lady, that truth be told, bared a striking resemblance to the Mad Hatter's sister, or perhaps Willy Wonka's female counterpart. Her personality was just as odd. She followed us around the shop dictating rules about photos and touching items, and rambling on and on describing her goods and explaining price points. She even told us, "I'm sorry but I'm weird about advertising my store." You're telling me and that's not all! I was incredibly irritated and put off by her hovering presence and at one point I turned around, with her at my heels, looked at her and expelled a heavy sigh! I was on the verge of telling her to back off when her store bell chimed and she plodded off to haunt another customer. It's a shame the owner was so intrusive and curt, because the store was interesting, mainly lamps, shades and finials with some unique household interiors as well. I don't mean to be throwing "shade", however, her rude manner and abrupt demeanor had me and my companions headed for the door! No sales for you!

Gordonsville Antique and Flea Market is the real deal!…read more Set in some sort of old steel building and looking a bit "budget" from the outside, it would be easy to dismiss this place and keep driving by - especially when you're headed towards Culpepper, which is decidedly more upscale. Even downtown Gordonsville has a few nicer looking antique stores. But don't be fooled. The proprietor of this place is a real Civil War buff, and he's got a great collection of things for sale. The last time I was in there I noted many interesting daguerrotypes, a few Civil War era handguns (including a derringer, a nice pin fire revolver and a Colt of some description), plenty of dug artifacts, and enough other curiosities to keep my interest for a good long while. He's a friendly fellow and willing to share his expertise, and I make a point of stopping by there every time I drive through now - for the education, if nothing else. So the Civil War stuff is kept up at the front, understandably under close eye. The rest of the store has the usual "rented booths" for people to sell all manner of antiques. Again, I was a bit surprised with the quality of the items I was seeing. As is usually the case, one has to patiently wade through a lot of junk to find the treasures, but they're there and they're reasonably priced. If I had to lump this place into a certain "category", I'd say that it's the kind of place where you go in without expectation and come out delighted with some ersatz find that you would never have anticipated. Of course, if you're looking for something that is just-so, it's worth a stop too ...

My hubby tried out several guitars and was tempted to purchase one! We had a blast going to all the vendor booths and searching for treasures and saying "oh we had that!" Or "remember those!" I loved the front of the store with all of the large figures and the cool mural! The prices were decent and the folks were friendly! If you love antiquing and thrifting, you'll love this spot!

Contrary to how some boutique thrift stores can be, the ladies here were very nice! I was impressed with their wall to wall selection of staple and vintage clothing items. The curation of this place was a nice mix of estate/heirloom pieces that ranged from tweed jackets, wool skirts, silk blouses, to an ample selection of accessories for both men and women. There were even a few formal wear dresses for black tie events or weddings. The quality was still top notch. I was also impressed with their men's tie selection, noting that there was one from Oscar De La Renta (very cool). Overall, a good variety of clothing for both men and women. The furniture/kitchen/art/textile/book selection was fair but not as extensive as their clothing. I did also note a beautiful Persian rug for sale in their entrance way. All in all, I would definitely recommend checking this place out. Based on my conversation with the sales associate, they tend to bring in new (well, "new" being relative as it is a gently used shop) items frequently. The pricing is reasonable, the parking is easily accessible (there is a lot right in front), and the store is located in the shopping center off of Preston Ave. Happy hunting!

I honestly can't say enough good things about Breana and her work through Brave Collaborative…read more She's painted three murals for me now -- two in my home and one outside my office -- and every single one has completely exceeded my expectations. They're bold, colorful, playful, and have this vibrant, feminine energy that makes every space feel so alive and joyful. Working with Breana feels like collaborating with a friend who truly listens and just gets your vision -- and then somehow brings it to life in a way that's even better than you imagined. She's thoughtful, professional, insanely talented, and just a genuinely kind human. Every time someone walks into one of the spaces she's painted for me, they comment on the murals immediately. Her work doesn't just decorate a wall -- it transforms the entire feel of the room. If you're looking for something meaningful, colorful, and uniquely YOU -- Brianna is your girl. I couldn't recommend her more!
