You can't always count on it being open exactly by the posted hours, but if you're near downtown…read moreWakefield and it happens to be open, it's definitely worth your time to stop in. It's a small space but they use it well; there are knickknacks and cool antique pieces everywhere you look, and the owners are knowledgeable about what they sell and about the history of the town. This shop differs from other local antique shops in that it sells more small pieces and collectibles, rather than large pieces of expensive furniture and framed paintings. It's a much cozier and more welcoming feel than the showroom-style places nearby where you're scared to touch anything with a price tag on it. I collect vintage compacts and cosmetics and Un-Common Antiques has saved me a couple trips to Concord, as I can find the pieces I'm looking for here without the ridiculous markups and the long drive.

I never paid attention to this building, except to wonder how a little pink "fashion" store on…read moreAlbion could do enough business to survive.  I went because, while shopping for a wedding outfit, I realized I needed a bra fitting after losing weight.  My aunt, who lived in Wakefield for a long time, suggested Florence's. Walking in, the place was very crowded with a wide variety of styles and a ton of heads with wigs.  Honestly, the shop did not seem like the place for me.  I figured I'd get a bra and then go shopping for clothes. I was very surprised to find everything I needed and some items I would not have considered, but she asked me to try on for her!  The shop owner, Barbara, is really good at what she does! I am not a fashion-focused person, I like sticking to timeless staples with a funky twist and comfortable shoes. But, not only did I get a good fitting and a bra I love, but a bonus stylist who worked with me, showing me a variety of options, really listened to what I did or didn't like about each and  helped me craft the perfect outfit for the wedding and a great bra!  I think everyone should go, alone bc it is tight in there, and just see what she has for you, it's fun. Thank you, Barbara! Not sure if you would have recommended the platform sneakers I wore, lol, but I got so many compliments on my get-up!

It is an old-fashioned looking downtown/center with a lot of the original signs and buildings from a different time...enjoy. Welcome...you are back to the era of Woolworth's and Brigham's (which I am not knocking, as I remember both from childhood). Just setting the scene.... As Rachael made mention of in her review, grandmas would love shopping here (again, not a knock, I love my gramma very much and would take her here anytime!) But, they have stuff for non-grandma-folk too. If I wasn't currently so well-stocked in my wardrobe, I probably would have come out with a few things... ...If the 1950's don't creep you out, you could score here---big time. They have some newer/trendier brands that I know are from TJ Maxx/Marshall's and everything in between all the way over to certified "Mom Jeans" that fit you snuggly and stiffly (they are thick denim) well above the waist. But they are crisp and new and I don't know where they got them! They could sell on Ebay for collectors or fashion historians... Oh...speaking of crisp...I almost forgot...they had all of the ladie's polyester casual pants (circa 1970, like my mom used to wear soooooooooooooooo long ago...) that you could shake a stick at...It made me think that someone might come in in grab them for some play/ period costumes They have men's and children's/baby clothing and it looked good from across the way but I had no desire to investigate. Highlights: Women's sweaters and winter coats were fashionable and veeeeeeeeeeeery cheap! Nice, warm vests....

One Yelper even commented to me that you "slit your own throat" with replies like the one you left me. Just so we are clear "slit your own throat" is figurative NOT literal, it is a figure of speech. What was meant by that comment is that you give the unsatisfied customers more credibility because of the harsh reply, it makes you look like the bad guy. If you read Help For Business Owners, Yelp gives some practical suggestions to help Business Owners to respond to negative reviews in a tactful way that helps defuse situations such as this one, instead of being threatening. I mean I wouldn't want you to get sued in return, Yelpers are well protected by the 1st Amendment and Anti- slapp legislation. I amended my review and took out the words that offended you because I am a reasonable person. I do not wish anything bad upon you. I am just expressing my opinion, feelings and telling my experience. I hope your business continues to do well and that you learn from experiences such as the one that I had and improve the customer service you give to your con-signers. Maybe that improvement would be something as simple as agreeing upon a set price to sell the consigned item for before taking it for consignment and putting it in writing.
