The Moravian House, not affiliated with the church is a completely immersive experience of 2 rooms filled with folk art, antiques, collectibles, colonial reproductions and decor. I love visiting just after Christmas when all the Christmas related items are 50% off. However the past two years I have been in there before Christmas and could not resist adding to my ornament collection. I have purchased a number of items here over the years, including music CDs, potpourri and seasonal and decorative items. I could literally buy everything in the store if I had the financial resources. The prices are moderate but not inexpensive. The antiques and reproduction furniture and art work is high quality and the price point reflects that. I've attached a number of photos because it is very difficult to describe the eclectic offerings. The shop is closed Sundays and Tuesdays. If you enjoy 18th and 19th c themed items in a lovely setting, be sure to stop and peruse everything there is to see here. I'm sure you will not be able to resist adding something to your own collection!

So many finds in this store. I am a big fan of the locally-handmade candles sold here. The scents last, even when the candle has burned down. The candles have super fun names too. These candles make such great gifts...even though I end up keeping them for myself! This store sells artistic teaspoons. I bought a set for my mom at Christmas & she got teary eyed, she loves cooking with them. I added a photo so you can see how special they are. The staff is ridiculously friendly & helpful. Everytime I enter the store, I am welcomed & always end up having a nice conversation w/the crew. I much prefer supporting local small businesses over purchasing gifts online or at a corporate mall. I recommend this small business & urge everyone to shop small. Keep being creative Calkins!!

I shop all the time in Philly and honestly the cost of such items wasn't terrible in comparison to the city. I understand the range in pricing given different vendors price differently, so I'll chalk up some of the more shocking prices to that. My mom shops for Black Americana and did find a few items too. It was clear some were 1800s-early 1900s. Overall many items were there to choose from. Cell service was terrible here but my service was bad in this part of town in general. The staff were great. One person recommended some thrift shops in town for us and chatted with me about a shared interest in thrifting. I would return!

Friendly employees throughout, and if you're with a non-shopper who's biding time while you poke around, he/she can hang out in their lounge.

I heard about Burning Bridges Antique market from a family member and independently from a hotel…read morepamphlet and decided to take my parents along with me for a visit after dining at Hinkles. The market is in an old brick building with plentiful parking. As many have noted-it is massive. There is just so much to see on all the three floors-there really is something for everyone here. Glasses, plates, toys, Christmas decor, old electronics, telephones, and so, so much more. We had a wonderful time exploring, and I picked up a few things I had long been wanting. I'm not an expert in antique pricing, but it all seemed reasonable to me. I definitely plan to visit again when in Pennsylvania. It was a fabulous way to spend an afternoon, and afterwards we all remarked on what a great time we had there.

Though I no longer actively collect -- I've downsized since selling my house -- I still look at items that interest me and rarely pass up a deal. Mad Hatter has beautiful pottery. (I've collected Hull and Roseville for 35+ years.) Several booths specialize in kitschy mid-century items which I find fun. I debated about purchasing the snack bowls I photographed, which my mom had in the 1950s. (Decided against it. Nostalgia didn't win out this time.) You can breeze through the mall or spend hours looking. Parking is easy, the staff is helpful and as said, if you're looking to build a collection, Mad Hatter is worth a visit.
