Best Antique Shop I've Been To!…read more At a glance it seems like a normal antique shop (with some extra fun, unique pieces) but the owner is really what makes the antique shop so amazing. He lets you take things out of the cases and see how they work and knows the history of so much of the pieces. Thing that you think are nothing end up being some of the coolest pieces once he explain what they are and what the history is. Ask all the questions! We asked him to keep our names in case he ever decides to break up an antique set and let us buy individual pieces and he was such a nice man recommending for us to just look in our local area so we don't have to pay for shipping but I would be happy to! Half of why we wanted the pieces was because of the entire, wonderful experience Frank gave us while we were visiting Georgetown. Highly recommend!

Its a little hidden from 18th Sreet, and I probably would have passed it if I wasn't paying attention. Thr6 have all kinds of stuff, most of the things are hand-made and originate from various countries. There are also several hundred unique orientak rugs which I wanted to check-out more. There is definitely a Persian flare just based on the otomans and many more statues that appear to orinate from Egypt. I bought a hippie stule wind chine for my apartment and it's very cool. There are two levels however I didn't venture up tonthe 2nd level. I would definitely encourage people to come and check it out. Beware of the cats while you're walking around inside.

This establishment is only open on Wednesdays from 10am-1:45pm and believe me when I say that you should arrive at 10am on the dot because she gets packed quickly. They accept both cash and credit cards as well. Each week something different arrives; from porcelain tea sets, baccarat candle holders, mink coats and much more. If that wasn't enough all of the proceeds from the sells go to a great cause. FYI: if you're interested in any fine china sets then i would suggest bringing in some newspaper to help wrap everything.

But as a female physician, they have a decent selection of professional clothing. I was browsing through the size 8 rack, and an elderly saleslady (I assume Inga?) prompted me towards a different section, for "larger sizes". As I walked towards the other rack, I heard her whisper loudly to her co-worker, "Size 8?! Who does she think she is kidding?" Needless to say, I immediately left. Look, we all have bad days at work, but this was way out of line. I hope "Inga" can turn that frown upside down, or maybe it's just time for her to retire.

The Hour specializes in new and vintage merchandise dedicated to one of my most favorite distractions: the cocktail. But not just any cocktail. Oh, no. The cocktail of the 40s, 50s, and 60s. A bygone era when Tom Collins was king, a circle dress hung in any self-respecting woman's closet, and the cocktail party was a regular weekend occurrence. (To drive home their commitment to this epoch, The Hour sells "Mad Men" box sets.) The vintage glass collection here is mesmerizing. I was particularly taken with the cocktail sets -- gorgeous pitchers or shakers plus the requisite sipping glasses -- and a little stand of silver and stone picks. Husband was particularly taken by the flasks, especially a masculine looking glass one with a mahogany brown leather cover. He also wanted to walk out with a fun set of golden Toledo cocktail swords. En garde! I spent a lot of time in the little back room that features cocktail party baubles and accessories any woman would covet, from sparkly rhinestone broaches and silk clutches, to exquisite cocktail rings with oversized flowers and feathered hair pieces. I picked up a funky portable purse hook with a fun, retro design...for some reason I've been wanting one for ages, and where better to buy one than at an independent neighborhood store? Not only is The Hour a completely absorbing place to browse and shop; not only is the merchandise impeccably selected and thoughtfully displayed; not only are the prices fair and the staff friendly; but they have also partnered with St. Coletta of Greater Washington, a non-profit that works with adults with intellectual disabilities. The Hour sells pretty glass coasters and trays made by the St. Coletta community, and for each purchase donates $5 back to St. Coletta. Supporting a small local business that, in turn, is giving back to my community? Yes, please.
