Everything is displayed in a way that isn't heavy on the eye, which makes this place stand out to me. Most of the time, when I'm at an antique store I always feel like I need to take my time in order to see everything. And even when I take my time, it feels like my eyes missed something. That I need to go back and relook at everything. However, this place takes that stress away from me and I'm able to peacefully look through all they have to offer. The service is also great. Never have I felt unwelcomed or uncomfortable in the years I have shopped here. They've always been kind and polite when I requested to see something behind their glass cases or answer my questions about an item. Very pleasant people. Besides jewelry, they offer a lot of antique furniture as well as a lovely array of mugs. If you're looking to collect some cute cups, I highly recommend giving this place a shot. They also have a section in the back where they offer clearance items. I've been visiting this place since 2017 and it always takes me by surprise how much stock can change within a week. Like most of the antique stores at Niles, you never know what you'll find. It's both a mystery and a blast. They also sell some unique and adorable pins that make great gifts for a friend. Recently I came here with my partner and he purchased a Harley Davidson pin for $12. For the size of the pin, it felt like a great deal. I love to collect pins myself and most of the time I collect pins from small creators. Usually these pins are priced from $6 to even $20 depending on the size of the pin. And I felt like this Harley Davidson pin was a fair price for it's size. I was also pleased to find a locket for only $10. It's become one of my favorite jewelry pieces. I'm planning to come back next time in search of a Mother's Day gift for my mom.

This was their response. Do you know how to read english? If you do not then get someone to translate the whole post for you. If you want to see the camera then you will need to go where the camera is. This still didn't answer my question and didn't feel like traveling a cross the bay to find out that is sold already and just to look at it. And this response sounds racist. I am definitely not going there and I would not recommend anyone that don't speak English well to go there lol.

I bought a dress from them, which had a couple seams that weren't properly attached. When I got…read morehome and tried to unclasp the rivets, they fell off! Additionally, it promptly fell apart as soon as I put it on. It was clear that this was due to the thread disintegrating with age. However, the lady that runs this place would not give me a refund, citing the fact that "she had tried it on herself and it was fine", and repeatedly invalidating my experience. Though the receipt did say "final sale", when a customer purchases a product, flaws should be disclosed. Otherwise, there is an implicit agreement that what you're selling me is functional. I think their actions are telling of how they conduct themselves as a business: if they can't even do the due diligence to assess an item's state and disclose it to the customer, how can you expect to have a good experience?

Came out with a perfect golden hedgehog, and a very interesting history of the company that makes them. It seems the company split...one group got the molds, and one the use of the heart shaped labels with OWC inscribed (if you have older ornaments you will know what that is) The group with the molds went to manufacture in China, and they are still in business. The other group has not fared as well. The Chinese ornaments are still painted with the original German paints, and they have released many old designs, including my charming hedgehog. Happy girl!!

If you are trying to gain business you can't do it by having an unfriendly unwelcoming demeanor.

My son shouldn't have pushed the office door and scared you while you were there. I apologize and tried to explain to you that he has autism and that he didn't mean to do harm. I also asked him to apologize to you, but you disregard both of our apologies and continue to yell loudly and belittle my child and me. Yelling at my child saying he doesn't care and that I should have taught him better. I was calm and already felt bad about the situation, but you did not show any compassion. You can yell at me, but to yell at my child like you did was really hurtful and uncalled for. Your store is not ASD friendly if that's how you treat your customers.

It was my first time coming to this antiques fair/flea market, though I've certainly heard a lot…read moreabout it. An annual tradition in Niles Fremont, this event promises unique vendors and historical vibes for a day of shopping, strolling, and browsing some of Fremont's oldest shops. I was disappointed that most of the goods being sold weren't actually antiques or even solid thrift finds. There were some standouts, such as vintage race jackets and personalized licensed plates from way back when, but for the most part I wasn't too impressed with the inventory. I ended up purchasing 2 cute pins for friends but they were probably things I could have bought elsewhere too. Parking was also a bit of a nightmare, though we had been warned well ahead of time that there wasn't a lot of it. Even though we got there early (7 am) we still had trouble finding a spot. Some storefronts (residents?) were charging up to $20 to park in a small cramped lot. I get that space is scarce for an event like this, but more signage and regulation would have helped. Thank goodness we had gotten there early. Overall, I'm glad I experienced this antique fair once, but as a longtime thrifter looking for something a little more special, probably won't be coming back soon.

Since this town, and Niles Street in particular, is already lined with numerous antique shops, it didn't make much of a difference with merchants selling just a handful of vintage items from these outdoor tents. In fact, there were a plethora of yard sales taking place all around the neighborhood, some which had better stuff than the actual antique faire. We saw about 3-4 food/drink stands selling mexican food, hot dogs, kettle corn, and more. Not a whole lot of options and nothing really noteworthy. We did end up having giant sausages from the Giant Badass Sausage tent for lunch. It was juicy and definitely filling, and we were able to picnic on the grass at Niles Town Plaza. Parking for this event sucks! So many closed roads, with the organizers not even giving a hint to visitors as to parking options. In the neighborhood, people were selling spaces for $10-25 just to park. Along with slow moving traffic and cramped streets, it was not a fun experience. Even with a few cool items here and there, overall, this outdoor market was a disappointment. I probably wouldn't return, not worth it. I recommend just visiting the town of Niles and its antique stores on a regular day.
