While traveling the 100 mile yard sale we stopped here in the early afternoon on a Saturday. We…read morehave heard about this place before and planned to visit one day. Well, today was the day. The front of the building had various vendors set up selling items as part of the 100 mile yard sale. We knew Preston's did a lot with wood but did not know much about the antique part of their business. After visiting we know they primarily work with wood pieces and the antique part is small. They do have some very nice live edge slabs, cookies and make some really nice furniture with them. They even had an adjustable work desk built out of a live edge slab. They do some work with epoxy resin as well. Their prices seemed reasonable and we were able to talk to both Preston and his partner who were very friendly and helpful. Great spot if you are looking for live edge type furniture. We are confident they can also do custom pieces as well.

Even the two pups! Bring cash to make things smoother. We'll definitely be back!

You will need to take a flight of stairs down to get to the actual store. There are several shelves arranged in the store with handmade pottery pieces from various artists in and around the area. The prices range from mid $20-$40 for most of the handmade mugs. There are small descriptions written by the artists about their pieces and whether or not they are dishwasher safe. There are a variety of pottery pieces from mugs, bowls, pitchers, and plates. They also have some other smaller pieces, including some jewelry and pins. Tucked in the back looks like a pottery studio, so check in with the store about whether or not they offer pottery classes. Highly recommend stopping by to check out the awesome pieces of handmade pottery!
