I found some cute bird decor, a vinyl "rug" that looked like tile, and some candles for decent prices! Love this spot!

When I entered the shop I was expecting vintage antique or upcycled of both or either. But found…read moreneither. This shop was almost bare, The goods they did have were sparse and over priced. The clothing they had here was gawdy, and strange. It wasn't vintage or antique. They seem to be a different kind of shop that makes strange ornate goods for your bedroom or living spaces, They had a desk and set up for interior design appointments (?) Set up in the back of the shop. I don't understand this place, It didn't seem to have anything to offer, and it isn't the kind of shop you'd go to to pick something out to wear or furniture to put in your home directly from the floor. I just don't get it.

Amazing place to shop i wish the offered jewlery jars though. other than that wonderfulread more

Absolutely love a good CHKD! The staff was very friendly and the store location itself was a pretty…read morelarge location. There were no changing rooms here at this location but again when paying pennies for a shirt who needs a changing room. Not too many electronics at this CHKD; but lot of furniture towards the back. There was a little bit of a weird smell here, not so much of a smelly/nasty smell... more of a dry.. rustic smell.

This cool vintage shop in Amelia is chock full of funky treasures! The aisles are tight, but we had…read morefun meandering through them looking at antiques and oddities. There were some vintage clothes, jewelry and handbags, as well as Knick-knacks, paintings, war memorabilia, books, glassware, and furnishings. The store stocked quite a huge collection of antique clocks which were pretty fascinating! The prices ranged from $1 to several hundred depending on your pocketbook! It's refreshing to walk into a vintage store and be able to spend just a few dollars! They are not taking advantage of their customers here! The owner, Jerry, welcomed us with a bellowing greeting! He was personable and helpful. We found some gems here and there and would love to come back "now & then"!!

Everything here was so cool! So many beautiful antiques to choose from! This is definitely a…read moredestination for people to love to shop for antiques! I did not see many things that I would not have loved to have!

The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the products on the floor. Prices were fair related to the value of the products. I look forward to going on my next visit to that area!

Super cute! It's a lot bigger that you would expect. Tons of clothes, a housewares room, a toy…read moreroom, home decor area, massive amount of books, and a separate bargain section. It's cash or check only so make sure you hit up the ATM beforehand. I scored a child size tableware pottery (butter dish, syrup pitcher, and three section server) for next to nothing. I was really there for a lampshade and small wall shelves...which I GOT! Plus six matching metal buckets. I would encourage to not bring the kiddos just so you can enjoy the hunt and not worry about what they are getting into.

The ladies who work here are always nice and very helpful with any questions. There is a really…read morenice selection of toys, decor, furniture, kitsch and some clothes. Some things are absolutely stunning but in all honesty---rather expensive. They have to hunt down all these objects, clean them up, and pay for their space in the store so I get it. Personally, I'd rather find neat things on my own. I did buy a cool bankers lamp for my office and the price was actually quite respectable and the lamp unique. This is a fun place and there are always fun little things up front that are very affordable if you don't like leaving empty handed.

There are so many exquisite china sets to choose from and cabinets to make your home look like a perfect place for dining or tea time.

In the years I've been a patron of this shop, I've probably bought over a dozen various sets of pearls!! They have bracelets, earrings, rings and more too! The jewelry section doesn't just stop at these translucent luscious orbs though, I've also been privileged to purchase gold chains, rings, turquoise, vintage pieces and other incredibly unique baubles! Yes, dolls, the world is your oyster here at Penniston's. And guys, you'll be admired for your great taste if you treat your lady to a piece of jewelry from this fine selection! Fab prices and lovely, colorful jewelry pouches, too!! But oh, that's not nearly all!! No sir!! What's better than having afternoon tea? Going next door and antiquing!! If you've never had the opportunity to take tea at Blue Willow, you're missing out! Through the threshold, you will find a glorious array of antiques, furniture, figurines, glassware, brass and pewter, books, home décor, and tons of seasonal items! Everything is displayed with creative flair! Why, one of my favorite things in my house is the entryway oriental rug I purchased from this elegant shop! I love it and the price was reasonable! I get so many compliments on it! Upstairs you will discover even more treasures, incredible vintage quilts and linens, armoires, occasional chairs, desks, mirrors, light fixtures and lamps, artwork, cultural displays, and too many other things to mention! Here I purchased some boho-cool, rustic kilim pillows made from Turkish rugs that adorn our living space. And as I glance around my home, I spy several other gems I have found at Penniston's! Yes, for unusual and precious gifts or eye-catching wares for your home, Penniston's is right up your Alley!! If you visit Old Town Petersburg, these two places must be on your list! And if you live near here, I'm so jelly!!

Hts. with TWELVE pair of ladies dress shoes than barely had a scrape on the sole - they looked brand new. But now I'm driving back to Col. Hts. with 12 pairs of shoes going to Goodwill because their delivery door is broken!!! And apparently you can't bring them in the front door. This isn't the way to keep donations flowing in. Trust me, it's easier to lose customers this way, than to get them back. Goodwill was more convenient anyway!

This a is fantastic thrift store!

They have a little of everything in a fantastically curated store. They have a punch card so that after you spend $10+ so many times (I believe ten) you will get a discount on your next purchase. The employees who work there were very nice and put effort into displaying the various items. To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised and I will be stopping back here periodically. I will also donate gently used items. The funds go for a very good cause so I am more than to spend my money here and help people in the community who really need it. The fact that the store offers a variety of interesting items makes that pretty easy to do.
