Aug 2021: Pic 29 of 38-- Comics!

A decent vintage shoppe. Additional stars if you're coming for vinyl! This vintage shoppe has been open many years. Including its owner (Rick), there are currently 7 vendors occupying space in 18 rooms. Two-thirds of the large house are filled w/ merchandise that belongs to Rick. This is a shoppe filled w/ mostly lower priced vintage pieces-- lots of trinkets. The better antiques I did find (like glassware) were generally overpriced. This is not the place to come if you seek quality antiques. There are some among the hordes of vintage merchandise, but not enough to summon a return visit. I did get lucky & find mid-century solid brass geese which I've been seeking for quite awhile. Rick had the pair priced $39, but let me have them for $33 after I requested a discount. When you shop here, always request a discount; it's worth asking. (A Yelp friend later reached out to me w/ an online pic that showed my brass geese listed @ $169.) I was impressed w/ one aspect of this shoppe. There are over 3,000 RECORD ALBUMS, along w/ many singles. This is where those who play VINYL should definitely come. There were a few miscellaneous sales on items throughout the shoppe. Rick is rough around the edges-- quite particular, but he knows vintage & he does buy merchandise. If you're interested in SELLING MERCHANDISE TO RICK, follow these steps as they came directly from him: (1) Phone him first. (2) Tell him what you have. (3) If he's interested, email him quality photos of what you wish to sell. (4) He'll then tell you what items to bring to the shoppe for him to decide what he'll purchase. This might be a FUN STORE FOR A NOVICE who enjoys anything vintage; however, it was not for us. It was time consuming to go through the multitude of odds & ends while frustrating that there really wasn't much to see-- just a repetition of lower quality merchandise in every room.

Large doll house!

Owner was condescending and outright rude. I walked out on him. Never will step foot in that place again. I'd give zero stars if I could.

5 stars for this two-year-old, locally-owned Seffner business. In all my years of antiquing, this…read moreshoppe has the LOWEST PRICES I've ever encountered. (The vintage store next door shares that honor.) This may not be where you come to find higher end antiques, but there's definitely a great deal of vintage odds & ends here. There's even salvage. Hours are 11 AM to 5 PM-- FRIDAY THRU SUNDAY. Not only is there a small house filled w/ merchandise, but step outside under the carports to browse the large quantity of additional merchandise. What might you discover? Glassware, bakeware, & serving sets; toys & games; miscellaneous wall decor; furniture; lamps & lighting features; tools; clothing & shoes; costume jewelry; small appliances; vases; golf clubs; misc sporting goods; wood pens & cutting boards (both new); candles, homemade soaps, & rag dolls (all new), etc-- SEE ALL THE PICS Seriously LOW PRICES on everything, yet there were still many items discounted up to 50%. The female owner was very sweet & her Mexican hairless puppy was fascinating-- I couldn't resist snapping a picture:) Will we return when in the area again? Of course! My buddy was able to pick up a legitimate mid-century metal, butterfly wall sculpture for almost nothing. Although he's going to keep it for his home, now that it's been cleaned up & he's added three glass vintage votive candleholders, he could easily sell it & make a large profit on it. This vintage shoppe sits beside The Florida Farmhouse Market. DEFINITELY STOP IN should you enjoy anything vintage, along w/ savings! And do converse w/ the lovely owner. She was so gracious & appreciative of having her business added to Yelp.

This was a cute little stop. This shop is a fairly nice size. There's three spaces that you can…read moreenjoy looking through to find your gem. Ms. Karen was working and helping me to reach all sorts of goodies. She really was such a delight. I picked up a few little treasures for a very fair price. I certainly look forward to visiting again.

The business advertises itself as offering "Antique, Vintage & Primitive Furniture & Pieces." They also take items on consignment. These owners are PICKERS-- they sort thru farmhouses & barns to locate what you'll see on the shelves, walls, & floor. (The wooden mid-century owl I bought here was the only thing the owners located in one particular room of a barn.) Prices here were REASONABLE-- VERY LOW on most items. The female owner we spoke w/ was VERY friendly & also willing to give discounts on purchases. Accompanying her in the shoppe was her gorgeous & friendly House Dog. Her husband was perched on a bench out front near the entrance. The shoppe offers hand-poured candles by a local candle maker, as well as many excellent vintage toys-- a very nice selection @ low prices. You'll also find Fiestaware; home decor; primitive furniture (aka pre-industrial); window panes; glassware; & pretty much anything a regular antique store & salvage shop holds. Due to the nature of picking, merchandise here will vary quite rapidly. We definitely want to return due to the possibilities of what we might find upon each visit (& due to the excellent pricing). Check out this vintage shoppe; it's WORTH YOUR TIME!

This was such an awesome experience!! We wanted to have an afternoon tea experience and 22 Moons…read moredid not disappoint. Thankfully it was close by, we didn't have to go all the way into Tampa to find a great tea experience. Affordable too!! The settings are all fine china from England. You get 2 teas. An English breakfast black tea and a caffeine free herbal tea. Sugar and honey to complement. You do get a few courses as well. Soup and scone to start off. Then a tower of sweets and savory sandwiches. The cucumber sandwich was so good. I LOVED the soup and scones. Everything is homemade, amazing! The service was so friendly and nice. Our server poured our teas and explained everything we were getting. It was very relaxed and no rush. It was a great experience and we definitely left full! I would love to come back here again soon. Only note of improvement I think the outside could be cleaned up some. Thank you!

As a former corporate pastry chef for Hyatt Hotels for almost22 years and the owner of my own…read morefamily bakery and restaurant for 17 years, I know how hard this business is, and I rarely leave negative reviews. The disappointment began before we even walked through the front door. The entire entrance looked more like a junkyard than a tea room: oversized plastic chess pieces, random wood on the wall where a sign had been removed, dark staining that looked neglected, broken flower pots, old rusted garden furniture. My wife and I almost turned around. Had we been paying that day, we likely would have left. But we had a gift certificate, so we gave it a chance. What concerned me even more was the safety. The steps were in poor condition, and the handrail was extremely loose, moving several inches side to side. As someone with a disability, that felt unsafe. Accessibility should be basic. Inside, the owner and our server were kind and welcoming, and I genuinely appreciated that. But both teapots had been placed on the table before we were seated, and my tea was already cold. I had to ask for hot water just to have a proper cup, which I wouldn't expect from an afternoon tea. The biggest disappointment was the food. At forty five dollars per person, ninety for two, I expected quality and attention to detail. Instead, the sandwiches and pastries were among the poorest I've ever been served. I could only manage a couple of small sandwiches and one dessert before giving up. What surprised me most after our visit was reading the five-star reviews. Based on our experience, it is difficult for me to understand how this place earns that level of praise. I hope this is taken as constructive criticism. The staff was kind, but kindness can't overcome serious maintenance and quality issues. Sadly, I can't recommend it in its current state Update Thank you for responding We were celebrating my wife and I our retirement and chose not to create an awkward moment. Many people reflect afterwards. Our review reflects our honest experience."

Girls shopping day out! I like these antique stores…read more Brought mom to check it out. I did a couple sound test with one of my new gear was looking for something in particular for my short form film projects. After playing around i found something i recognized from one of my many previous jobs! A train cabin key! Bro these are pricey in online antique forms. I got it for $3.25. I already came up with ways to use it. Both film and i been researching clockwork builds. I love that art form so much. Its heavy on the math and physics. Cant wait to start! I saw something new they had on display. They had a couple of black lights show casing "Sugar glass" the antique glass reacts to the black lights and shine very brightly. If u like unique collections n decor? This would be a great way to collect old glass ware and just display for parties. Or for streamers with cyber punk notes. Kid you not the glass almost looks like a digital vector. Although i played with alot if things? I was happy with the key. I saw something that we both wanted but we dont have room for it. On our way out of the other store someone else bought it. It is the name of the game. The gentleman looked very happy. It was a one of those old school record players built into a table. It would had been nice to have space for it, we already have a family heirloom like that. Mom brought hers from Germany. love buying records for it n let it soar. No power just clockwork.

This shop is mediocre at best. It was a wonderful shop years ago when it was antiques And…read moretreasures. The new owners haven't done she shop any favors I've been in this shop several times. The people working don't even bother to speak or even look up. I was the only customer in the store. The person working walked past me several times without even a glance. Considering that I never see anyone in the store (and for good reason.)You'd think they would at least try to interact with the few customers that they have. Luckily the shop has nothing that I would have so I don't feel the need to go back.
