It's small, cramped, a bit musty. All the signs of a great hunt is about to begin. There are also nostalgia pieces for those looking to do a retro decorating scheme. The prices were kind of uneven.

Our shop isn't huge, it's a little small, but we merchandise to the top, so our inventory is varied. We have the largest and most select selection of antique bottles in the region. We carry fine glass, china, sterling, silverplate, antique and collectible books, victrolas, cylinder players, vintage 78's and vinyl, estate and retro jewelry, hats, kitchen items, fossils and more. We especially look for the unique and unusual. If you don't see it in the store, just ask us about it, we have a large warehouse we stock out of. We are not a consignment shop and hand select our items. And a little more on fun...we LIKE children and pets. Please bring them in. They make us laugh and probably (the children, not the dogs) will ask better questions. The dogs we like to pet. We are located in beautiful Southport, NC.

I told her I was aware of it but that I was still wanting to purchase them because of how they reminded me of my Nana's.
