We happened upon this mid-sized shop on our way to some farms. Once inside, we were surprised at…read morethe space and it was filled with unique and charming items for all ages. The owner and operator was most inviting and helpful. I only spent about 30 minutes inside but observed so many items that were inviting and worthy of another trip. I was able to purchase some items for upcoming events and admired several others. The shop even has sensory toys for children that could benefit from sensory toys. The shop has a set of handcrafted items by young artist as well as teas by an organization called Skirted Soldier - which is a female Veteran Owned company. I cannot wait to try the Cold Weather Gear tea (gingerbread house black tea). This bag of loose tea includes tea bags. Nice touch! I enjoy shopping and supporting local and/or small businesses. I am looking forward to my next visit.

I'm sure the locals know about the place but they don't seem to be sharing it on Yelp (maybe trying to keep it for themselves) LOL. This house contains quite an extensive collection of things from food items, vintage to handmade goods. It's like as if Etsy did a pop-up here. On the ground level, you can find local ice cream, meats from a local farm and other homemade goods like jams and sauces. Browsing in there makes it fun too as the items are displayed in the different rooms throughout. Every corner you turn there is something new! I saw some really beautiful items, some funny ones too. Great mix of stuff! You'll definitely find a one-of-a-kind item at this shop! Stay safe, Friends!

If you're looking for antiques and this place pops up, keep moving. But if you're into ducks, bright frames and mirrors, candles, and the like, this is the spot!

Unfortunately i met the owner of Colonial Collectibles and she is an extremely rude person! This small business is very unprofessional/incompetent. Colonial Collectibles also over prices EVERYTHING, for example i saw a few Kendra Scott rings priced at $80.00 when Kendra Scott sells the same exact rings for a cheaper price. The experience i had here was terrible and it's a place i will not be shopping at again.

I needed to get out of the DC Metro area so I could have some sanity while shopping. I also am in…read moresearch of an item that I have in my head, but cannot describe to people, but when I see it, I know that it is the item I need. I somehow ended up down in this area and decided to stop at as many thrift and antique stores as I could. This one was a bit confusing for me (parking wise). I wasn't sure where I was to park, as the small lot next to it was full and I didn't think I was allowed to go around the back. I ended up parking across the street at a closed business and walked over here. When I approached the front of the business heading to the door I was greeted by one of the employees. I usually hate having to make small talk and will try to go out of my way to avoid it, but it came easily with this employee. She was pleasant and we spoke about the weather and what not. Once inside, I completely lost track of what I was here to look for. See, when they have cats up for adoption, I just don't remember a damn thing. What was fun was the cats wondering about in the space. It was so distracting (in a good way) to have them rubbing up against you demanding pets. I interacted with the cats more than I browsed. When I did browse, I found that they have a good mix of items and definitely warrants a revisit. But on this visit, I didn't find what I was looking for.

But, in the end, I was happily surprised. Walking in you are welcomed by a vast space filled to the brim with items to search through. This place could literally be a treasure hunt if you have the time to do so. Even though it was quite tempting, I was on a mission to find what I came here for. Making my way to the area where they had all their furniture was almost like walking into a different section here. I zig-zagged my way through the area and taking glimpses at items as I went. It was hard to figure out if the item you were looking at was a singular item or part of a matching set. It was also hard to tell if an item was for sale or if it was just a display item. It was also hard to tell if that item was sold already or not. After searching and searching, I decided on what I wanted. However, with my never being here before, and not knowing what to do, I had to search for an employee to figure this out. Now, you want to talk about a treasure hunt, this was a treasure hunt trying to find an employee. After my search was successful, I was able to figure out what to do to at least pay for the items. I paid and then needed to get those items into my vehicle. After some time and employee was able to get the end tables out of the area they were and up to the front. Once I had them in my vehicle I was able to head home. Once I got them home I did a healthy cleaning and polishing. Tightened a few screws and they were good as new. Actually gave me some great space to store and display. I wanted to touch on the employees here. If they are good at one thing, it is how to avoid the customers and/or displayed disdain in helping customers. There was no affect on the gentleman that helped me load the tables into my vehicle. And having to play hide and seek/tag with the employees was not super toddler fun like it used to be.
