I really enjoyed visiting Vintage Whimsy and it's one of my favorite shops in Franklin. The shop is broken into smaller rooms with items grouped attractively within similar styles but intertwined with unique pieces. The variety of items and styles are different from room to room. I found jewelry, purses, clothing, hats to primitive decor, antiques, glassware, candles and candlesticks, different styles of furniture and fresh greenery to name a few. The shop has a very welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. This is a terrific place to shop for gifts with the unique pieces and diversity of items and styles. I enjoyed finding items from antiques to current trends including clothing, jewelry and furniture. If you're shopping in Franklin make an effort to stop in.

I was in the area and saw Vintage Whimsy and thought I'd check it out. Walking up the sidewalk and steps to the door, we weren't sure what to expect. Are they open? Well.. the sign in the front says it is. Do we knock or just walk in? Is this someone's house? No, no, just go on in. We can always apologize later for mistaking this place as a business. We open the door, slowly. Victory! There's a cash register and someone behind it welcoming us in. Sure glad that moment's over.. The place is an old house, and every room has been converted into different sections for antiques and vintage memorabilia. There were several tables and hutches that I wish I could find room for, along with some great frames begging for someone far more artsy and creative than me to snatch and do something with. My mind immediately thought of Sondra S and Joanna B.. this seems like a place they'd be right at home in. This is a place I'm going to have to visit on a fairly regular basis; my guess is that the merchandise rotates on a regular basis, and I bet I can find some pretty cool things here.

This antique store has a number of rooms filled with a wide variety of large and small items. Some are antique, while other items are newer but have an eclectic appeal that seems to go with the time periods. The shop also has a number of small gift items as well. What I found surprising was how large the store was when I visited. From the front, I could only see a couple of the rooms, but when I worked my way around the rooms, I found a doorway that lead to the additional rooms in the back of the building that have some of the larger items.

This store is adorable! It's located on Jefferson Street in a row of little antique/vintage/salvage shops and you can make an afternoon walking up and down. Make this the first stop though! The woman I talked to while in there was so kind and helpful in getting me what I needed. I don't know if she owned the small store or if she just worked there, but she can certainly carry on a conversation and was by far the friendliest person in the shops on this street. The booths inside are like an Etsy dream. Everything has the pastel shabby chic vibe and it's so lovely. The stairs up are very steep and the whole shop is creaky but it is an old home so going in you shouldn't expect anything else! This specific store also has a garden area and garage that's a step outside the back door that's open even when snow covers the ground. I'm sure the garden is beautiful when it's not covered in ice and snow!

I went to the Blackbird Nest in Franklin, Indiana as part of the annual holiday shopping weekend…read moreevent Franklin has every year. During this event there are participating shops and you are given a card to have stamped at each vendor and then you are entered in a drawing for gift baskets and cards once you have visited 10 shops. This shop has very nice decor items and furniture. They also had some clothing. I did not buy anything from this shop this time but I will still make a future visit to see what new items they come up with.

I was dropping off a friend in Franklin and had some time to kill. What better way to spend than…read morechecking out 4 of the cute shops on Jefferson Street. There is public and street parking close to Blackbird Nest and the other shops I wanted to visit. As I entered Blackbird Nest I received a pleasant greeting. The Blackbird Nest specializes in redesigned modern, antique and vintage furniture along with home decor, lamps, new clothing, bath and body products, prints, florals and wreaths plus holiday decor. The shop has several smaller rooms with various items incorporated throughout but items are organized well and prices are clearly marked. I liked seeing furniture, clothing, home and holiday decor all tastefully arranged together in each space. The store has a few narrow isleway's but most are spacious enough to browse comfortably down. They do have a dressing room to try on clothing you are interested in. If you're in Franklin make time to visit Blackbird Nest. Terrific location for gifts, clothing and unique furniture.
