    This is almost a gift store rather than an antique store. From the time I entered until the…read moremoment I left, I felt as though I were in a high-end store in the middle of a big city, rather than in a small town. Everything is beautifully arranged, from the furniture, to the paintings, the jewelry and sundry home decor and collectibles. The quality of everything, particularly the antique watches and mirrors was unusual. It seems as though the owners are particular about the items they select for display. The store has a bright and open feel, probably owing to the large windows and the loft that in itself made you feel like you could curl up on the furniture, pick up a book and relax with a cup of tea. Although I didn't find anything I had to have, I was certainly tempted. Perhaps I'll give in to temptation on what will certainly be my next visit.

    Lots and lots of cute stuff here. It's a great antique/vintage shop and has everything from knick…read moreknacks to jewelry to furniture. Some of it looks classic and vintage while some of it looks upcycled and handmade. I saw a lot of fine jewelry - diamonds and pearls and rubies oh my! - and I fell in love with a couple of pieces of large furniture. It's a two-story shop, so take the time to check out both levels. I'd also suggest coming back here frequently as things change out on the regular.

Food trucks provided nourishment and snacks for those who spent the day. We are older, so didn't have the energy for an all-day stay but put in several hours. The only thing I would say is it would have been nice to have some hay bales or something to rest on for we older folks. That field is BIG. I noticed one gentleman pulling a wagon with two folding chairs in it...smart guy!! While I wouldn't travel more than a couple of hours to get there, the location was on our way to another destination. I was actually looking for a venue to sell some of my collection of vintage sewing machines, but didn't feel the this market was an appropriate one for me. All in all, it was a fun day and I think we bought one or two items, but am waiting to go to the one near Denton: we were told that one focuses a lot on auto and farm-related stuff so that may not be our target market either. Still fun for a day trip!

    My wife did research on antique events in the area and found this on Facebook…read more The Barn at Lloyd's Dairy hosts this event twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. The dates for 2023 are March 25-26 and October 15-16. This 800 acre century farm was well organized and and fun. Parking was well marked and signage was easy to read and helpful. We arrived about 1:30pm on Saturday afternoon after a light spring rain. We purchased our tickets online in advance and there is a discount for purchasing two-day tickets and since we weren't sure what to expect it worked well. The tickets were $7.00 each and we felt that was very reasonable. If you purchase tickets at the even it is $5.00 per day. The majority of vendors had booths outside in the field while some were inside the barn. Our guess is there were approximately 60-75 vendors in total. We found a few treasures for our home and enjoyed strolling through on a beautiful spring day with talking with others who also enjoy vintage and antique items like we do. There were several food vendors as well along with some bakery related items and well maintained portable toilets. We learned that in addition to the Tarheel Antiques Festival, which they have hosted for the past five years, Lloyd's Dairy Farm hosts other events throughout the year such as the Tarheel Balloon Festival, Battle of the Blues Polo Festival and Feargrounds Haunted Barn and Hayride, www.lloydsdairy.com. Overall this was a great event and we enjoyed ourselves.

    We came here earlier this year when we had visitors from out of town. We were exploring the area…read morefor antiques and stumbled upon this place. My wife really liked the store and what the Salvage Sisters collect and resell. The focus is vintage industrial with a twist of farmhouse. We were in the area again today and my wife wanted to stop by. They are only open on Saturday's from 10am to 3pm but are very active on Instagram and do "insta-sales" featuring items for purchase throughout the week @salvagesistersnc. The building looks like a small warehouse. Outside they have some salvage building materials such as old windows, sinks and metal ceiling panels. Inside is an eclectic mix of similar type building materials, furniture, handmade industrial furniture, art prints, books, flannel, sweater and denim tops. My wife ended up buying a few items including a flannel shirt and a bread tray from Holsum Bakers in Winston-Salem which we will clean up and use as a piece inside our home. Overall this is a great place to check out if looking for vintage industrial items. We even thought about purchasing some windows to build a greenhouse at some point but put that off for another day.

I have no idea how they accomplish the constant new tableaus and ever-surging energy. if that were not enough, just check out their social media, where they encourage you to come and look and not feel any pressure to buy, just be part of the joyful project. This is so much more than a shopping experience, , it's a community, an ethos of creativity rejuvinated. love them!

We have some small collections of cast iron, Pyrex, coins, blue cornflower corning ware, etc. We have also enjoyed finding items and re-selling them occasionally. I guess you could call us pickers. My in-laws are also pickers. When they were in town visiting us a few weeks ago we brought them to several antique stores. Treasures on the Lane was one of those stops. While we were there, my wife noticed they were advertising a vacant shelf within a lighted cabinet for $15/month. She asked a few questions and obtained a business card. About a week later my wife decided to call and inquire. She spoke with Phil, one of the owners and he provided her with the necessary information and she decided to give it a try. The next weekend we arrived and filled out a bit of paperwork and set up her space. We also enjoy looking around when we stop in. The store consists of a wide array of items including coins, baseball cards, Pyrex, corning ware and other vintage glassware and dishes, military items, vintage toys, and much more. Treasures on the Lane is also very convenient to the interstate making it an easy stop even if just passing through Burlington.

Granddaddy's is a giant consignment shop - Emphasis on giant - With a…read moredizzying array of wares to browse that range from "should've stayed in the dumpster it was found in" to "and to think someone had this on their body/in their home." Otherwise, it is booth after booth after booth of items that belong at an outdoor weekend flea market and offered for half of the asking price with the peddler available. The asking price on the tag was the price on the tag, so an actual "deal" is not at play here. Womp womp. If you enjoy gawking, are in search of a gag gift or just want to waste some time leisurely walking, this is a spot to stop. 4 stars because the building is large enough to be called a "mall," did not smell like feline urine, a moldy basement or home to rodents, and there is plenty of room to maneuver around without feeling the wall to wall indoor yard sale items may tumble down upon you. We visited January 2026 on a mild temperature (high 50's/low 60's degrees) day so it wouldn't be fair to speak of actual climate control amid the heat of summer (Easter to Halloween) or bitterly cold days in this remnant of a flagship store; ymmv on how hot or cold the building is. This "mall" is clearly the remnants of a former flagship store in a strip mall and not too much to speak of nearby.
