Making our way through the vintage and treasure shops in CT, I came across this listing on Yelp…read more The business is set up in a house, and if I'm not mistaken, I believe Patti lives upstairs. Either way, the shop is filled to the brim with trinkets--mostly costume jewelry. I found it a bit overwhelming at first, but kudos to Patti for keeping everything meticulously organized. You could easily spend hours here and still not see it all. Just keep in mind that it's heavy on costume jewelry and lighter on true antiques.

Patti the owner works here, she's very chatty and friendly. I particularly liked the selection of pearls, there's also broaches, beads and silver. She will show you anything that you'd like to see behind the glass. I do wish there were some more smaller, more delicate pieces of jewelry, that's more my style. This is still a lovely store worthy of a visit.

You might find some piece of treasure from Vernon-Rockville's past years including rulers from former businesses in that area.

This is Not a Thrift Store, Buyer Beware.

"We shall surely gaze On the sweet unfolding…read moreOf an antique mystery" (Elton John) Be forewarned, if you're hoping to gaze on a few antique mysteries at the Collinsville Antiques Company, you'd better be sure to allocate enough time for your gazing, because this place is gargantuan. Is 100 dealers on 22,000 square feet gargantuan enough for you? The sales floor is cut up into vendor stations absolutely crammed with assorted antiques, collectibles, jewelry, stained glass, lighting, musical instruments and LPs, toys, artwork, kitchenware, and tons of just plain cool stuff. Among the treasures we saw were an old tabletop pinball machine, a signed photo of Jerry Mathers from Leave it to Beaver, a Dukes of Hazzard lunchbox, itty bitty metal army men, cowboy boots, dolls, a ton of old Bobbsey Twin hardcover books, and a great Elvis Presley concert poster. Neither one of us are really antiquers, so it's hard for me to make an educated statement about the authenticity, value or pricing of their items. But I can say that the time we spent exploring every one of those 22,000 square feet was great fun.

I'm not well-versed in the antiques market. However, my mother was, and I would tag along with her…read moreto Brimfield, MA, all the time, so I am familiar with the process. I've been furnishing an older home in the Berkshires for about a year and a half, and compared to the Fairfield County area (the old Mongers Market, Our Place, etc.) I find this shop to be perfect. I've been splitting time between NW CT and Western Mass for neat finds. Like most spots, you need to be able to maneuver in small spaces in most booths. You also need to be able to crouch down and stand back up now and then, or bring someone with you who can. I did not consider any of the prices I encountered to be over the top, and there's plenty of parking. There is also a lot of variety and unique finds. I highly recommend it if you're in the market for some treasures. I know I will definitely be back soon.

But as loaded as it was, it was very well organized and very neat, so shopping and browsing was a real pleasure. They consign an extensive range of Junior & Women's clothing, household Items, home décor, artwork, fine and costume jewelry, silver & gold handbags, shoes, scarves & accessories, small wood furniture, books, CD's, DVD's, gifts, and collectibles. They recently introduced men's clothing to their selection, though currently, their men's inventory is limited to around a dozen outerwear coats and a few colorful bicycle racing jerseys. I also saw a nice selection of soaps, cosmetics, personal care and pet care items. One cool thing I spotted among their collection of sealed party games, was one titled "Fact or Crap." It was definitely a fun place to browse in.

There is a great balance of consignments and gift items. The owner was extremely nice and very helpful. The prices I thought were very comparable to other consignment shops in the area. Don't miss out on this hidden gem! Will be back to shop here again.

The back room is amazing, a big rambling garage of real antiques, books, tin wear, furniture, glassware, kitch, and a DOLLAR SECTION. I have found so many amazing things in this section. I've often picked up an item and said "we can EBay this for like $40" and mom will reply, "yes but I have 47 cases of glassware to sell so ummm, give someone a thrill" and indeed, people will get super excited and find a gem. Local goat soaps, local raw honey, and local folk art are great additions to the antiques. New items inspired by antiques: Whimsical signs, vintage inspired decor for every holiday (especially Christmas!) metal chickens, hooks, candles, country, wreaths, rugs, tablecloths, pillows, curtains, lamps, small furniture, notepads, kitchen lighting, soap dispensers, dishcloths... People really love this shop, and the prices are very reasonable.

I was so thrilled with some of the scores I used to get there. Now I find myself picking something up, looking at the price and putting it back down. Also, if you have sensory issues, they always play the music very loud in there. But the owners/employees are very nice. They are accommodating and helpful and answer your questions, but I would like to see them return to a better pricing structure. As with many thrift stores, you'll find some items that are a great value and others that are overpriced.

Pretty much has anything you can imagine at great prices!! The place is huge, 2 levels!!​read more

Strange hybrid (vintage clothing/jewelry and lamps) that somehow works, probably because most…read moreeverything in the store is Art Deco or a little later. Clothing, hats, and (tons of) jewelry are in fabulous condition, but the prices reflect that. If you're looking for a fedora or a ladies hat to go with your vintage Chanel, this is the place. I'm not sure where you'd wear it, but check out the long green velvet cape in the front window. Very Gothic, or Jane Eyre, or fairy princess. Some furniture, books, and other stuff, but the main attractions are the dozens of unusual fixtures hanging from the ceiling. There are also floor lamps. One-of-a-kind stuff. But, again, the prices give you pause; a pair of Deco milk glass pendants were $895. Lamp repair seems to be a major thing here, and they'll also do appraisals (I don't know if that's just for jewelry or what.) Fun to browse, but I haven't been tempted to buy. The guy repairing a lamp in the back said hi but didn't offer any help. And I think this is the kind of place where you need help.

First, I am OBSESSED with vintage,…read moreparticularly Art-Deco and Mid-Century, jewelry which is beautifully displayed and organized in rows of carefully curated display cases making shopping this enormous collection a much more manageable endeavor. Amazingly, Karen, the owner, is not only extremely knowledgeable and helpful but knows where just about every little thing is at all times!! While the jewels are my primary target, the lamps and vintage clothing, especially the hats and furs, are to die. I have been shopping here for many years, as have numerous friends I've sent in, and am always surprised by the treasures I discover. Since moving to NYC, I long to make more frequent visits as even the city does not boast stores of this quality in terms of selection, value and expertise. I have also had several pieces repaired - including a Robert Lee Morris belt buckle - all of which are now in even better condition than they had been originally. Other reviewers have mentioned that the prices are either high or unfair and I strongly disagree. Clearly they do not understand the value or quality of this type of merchandise. Karen carefully selects, repairs and restores costume jewelry from many well-known jewelers as well as anonymous original pieces - the likes of which are often cheaply replicated and may be difficult for some to distinguish from the real deal. Trust me, it is worth it to by an authentic piece that you will either have for many years or be able to resell at a later point.
