Ok. The lady who runs this store is absolutely adorable. There is alot amazing stuff everywhere you…read morelook and if you dont want to spend hours digging through recent crap to find an actual vintage diamond this is the store you're looking for. Everything is so neatly displayed. You're looking for fiestaware. Shes got a section. You only want to look at mirrored beer signs. There is definitely a section. The prices are good. So if you're hipster from the west coast driving through you will need to stop here and get something authentic that will be a great conversation piece that your friends will be envious over. If you're nostalgic, you will find something here that was always at your grandparents house. I love this store. You will love this store.

The large well-worn wooden doors in the sandstone brick is enticing but might be, for some, sketchy. There's a large sign on the door but no other markings. When I walked in, I was expecting a small space, but to my surprise, the building is far larger than it appears -- like a Tardis, I suppose. Things are sorted -- kind of: the kitchen things are in one spot, the glassware dining and living room accoutrements in another, and then a middle room with old clothing, spurs, saddles, chaps, and the back room with toys, books, vinyl, pictures, tools, knives, and other general things. The owner, a spry older man, tells everyone to come in and browse. If he's not helping a customer, or haggling over pricing, he's quietly sitting in the front reading. There's no air conditioning or water as he explains why he's not open in the winter. It's an old building that in the heat of summer stays cool inside. Owing to his health issues this might be his last year and he'll close when it gets too cold outside. But then again, maybe he won't. He hasn't decided. But for now, make him an offer on whatever you find and he'll work with it. Many of things he has accumulated he found from various road trips in the Dakotas, Wyoming, Nebraska and points west. When he mentioned his age and how long he's had this shop, I suddenly felt as though I have accomplished nothing at a much younger age. What a life he's had. Two visits to this shop already -- not because I need or want anything, but because I enjoy the adventure of the search and the stories. With that said, I did find a couple original craftsman screwdrivers to replace some I lost. I have to work on my haggling skills, though.

I think a lot of these 'antiques' are things that are just meant to look old, but aren't really…read more The owner seemed pretty preoccupied in having heated political discussions over the gun case in the back. It seems that most of the time and attention to detail in this store goes to the gun cage in the back, where there's scores of rifles and pistols all lined up along the wall and in display cases. From shotguns to rifles to pistols, this guy is proudly showing it off in the back of the store. The shop is long and narrow, crowded with merchandise. Everything is pretty clearly labelled. I didn't find a bunch of useful or rare stuff. Some of the stuff seemed to have been imported from some place like ebay instead of being bought and sold from local dealers around Red Lodge. I wasn't too impressed with this place.

It…read morewas supposedly made by an "artist," who bought pearls and "Parisian" pendants (mine was religious) to create these necklaces. I gifted the necklace to my sister-in-law, who wore it for a total of two hours (in my presence) during which time a link broke. Upon my request to have it replaced, the owners refused and said it was in "perfect condition" when I bought it. I took it to our reputable Panowicz's Jeweler and found out it was made of a flimsy "base" metal. To replace with a quality link was $45. It would have cost Whispering Pines $60 to replace the water pearl strand-portion of the necklace. I cannot believe they could not afford to back their product! I frequent Red Lodge, but as with Ms. Reinsch's review on Facebook, they are unrelenting and rude. I too will never shop there again!

We all agreed that half price days would make it much more realistic. They had a buy one get one free on tshirts but none of us were interested in any tshirts. They had a good selection of clothing, just very pricey. We would visit again but not unless they change the purse policy. Maybe cameras vs violating my right to carry my purse into a store would be better??
