We found this gem of an antique store around many years ago. Our family had been out most of the…read moreday antique hunting, which is something my husband and I love to do. We decided to make one more stop, since our kids (ages 4 & 2) were beginning to get a bit cranky, so we popped into Attic Treasures, which turned out to be the best stop of the day! We ended up with a few nice pieces, without breaking the bank .

If you are looking for an antiques shop where the owner really knows their business, this is the…read moreone for you, even if you have to drive out to Brookline from Boston (not that far really.) Prices are very reasonable--they are not out to get you but to share their love of antiques with you--and the store encompasses a wide definition of what an antique really is. Sometimes an "antique" can be a lamp or table that is actually very modern in concept and history, but is not appreciated by many homeowners. The owner also has a very good sense of design, and if you tell her where the piece is going to go, she can advise you on whether it is the right choice. Highly recommended!

Apparently they were on Newbury Street for 20 years prior to moving to their current location in…read moreBrookline, where they've been since for another 20 or so (the commitment, as you can probably tell, is impressive to me). Autrefois definitely did not share the crowded, dusty feel most antique shops I've been to -- I can't profess expertise in the area, but the store seemed pared down without being austere. The pieces were all wonderful, and I know that at least some were artfully restored, so well, in fact, that I even asked the owner about the great condition of most of the things, and she was happy to show me exactly where certain pieces were restored (she seemed to indicate that they are sent off for professional restoration). It's worth noting that I didn't see a piece that was obviously restored, and everything had a great patina. As I told her, if I had the money, I would be a frequent patron!

When my husband passed away, I took a broken gold watch of his to Timeless Antiques to be repaired…read more I was offered two choices: either sell the watch to them for the gold or have them replace the whole internal mechanism. I opted for No. 2 and am very glad I did. The price they offered for the gold wasn't that much more than the cost to fix the watch, and the sentimental value to me is immeasurable. I was very happy with the quality of customer service. Also, they sell some lovely pieces of jewelry.

A few days ago I googled "cash for gold" in the Boston area and found this service. After I called…read moreand made a quick appointment (really I just told them where and when I wanted to meet) a guy named Kevin came to my home and weighed my stuff and explained their "haggle free guarantee" cash offer to me. I had some stuff that I wanted to sell that I had picked up from the storage locker auctions. I had a few pieces of gold, a few silver coins and the lion's share of what I was selling was sterling silver jewelry. I liked the service for a couple reasons first they traveled to me and second in addition to buying gold they also bought the silver jewelry and the coins, so basically it was a one stop shop kinda deal, not all the places I called bought everything. I did try and compare prices with another mobile cash for gold place that said they would travel to my location however they said I would have sell at least 20 grams of gold for me to get that service. The people at cash fast had no such minimum when I spoke with them so that's why they got my business. It took very little time to do the whole thing. Basically this guy was like a pawn shop on wheels. Hope it helps. Happy New Year Lisa

My mother recently passed and we were looking to get rid of some of her stuff. I pulled into the…read moreparking lot around back. I don't know if he saw me in a camera or what, but as I was walking up to the door, he opened it and said in a less than pleasant tone, "can I help you"? I hadn't even entered the store yet. In fact, I hadn't even walked up the walkway. It was clear he wanted to stop me in my tracks. I asked if he was an auction house and he said yes and then I said you buy furniture and jewelry and stuff he said yes, but he still had a pissy attitude said never mind. I went to the next place on my list. Quarter-mile down the road. It was a small place and probably couldn't take some of the bigger pieces at my mom's house. However, the guy, Dan was his name was very friendly and helpful. In fact, he gave me a lead that turned out to be exactly what I needed. I wouldn't even contemplate J James auctioneers.

Once I found this shop, I started "out with the new, in with the old"…read more I love this store, my 16 year old son even said it was a cool place to walk around. I have replaced almost everything in this house. They have everything and at fantastic prices. From vintage fishing poles, to pulleys, to park garbage cans, to Corning ware and cast iron pots, kitchen tables, bed frames, desks, sewing tables, bureaus, standing closets, pie safes, and some of the most quirky thinks that you didn't know you were looking for. My favorite piece is an old country store shelf, got it for a STEAL!!!! Take a drive and visit the shop, it's a blast from the past. You be glad you did. From the moment you step in the door, your walking down memory lane. And ask about their selection of candles. They smell absolutely delicious. You won't regret it.

I absolutely LOVE this adorable antique/vintage store (so much I made a listing for it here!)…read more These ladies have tons of quirky housewares, furniture, and accessories for the vintage obsessed. The gals are fun to chat with while shopping and offer really great prices. This store is a fantastic alternative to the stuffy antique malls that dot the landscape of the South Shore area. The layout is cute and playful. I have purchased a good number of things that fall into all different vintage categories and everything here is always in fantastic shape and/or has a beautiful patina. It is exactly what I have been looking for!
