I usually find antiques/vintage stores a bit overwhelming, but this one was well organized and full of fun things to browse. Friendly workers too who were very willing to talk about certain pieces or help me out; seems like each person there owns certain categories of sourcing so there was one guy who knew a lot about their sports and entertainment items while another was more familiar with jewelry. Large selection of beautiful glassware/ceramics, and often in full sets as opposed to just individual pieces. Lots of autographed things, particularly in sports and entertainment, which could make fun gifts for collectors. Jewelry in good shape for bargain prices. Two floors just full of treasures in good condition. I ended up walking out with a signed sports jersey, a couple brooches, and a beautiful vase - all ended up being gifts.

This store has been open since the early 80's and has been operated by the same owner a little over 25 years in the same location. Admittedly, the shop can be kind of easy to miss- you'll find it in a little strip mall across the street from Kroger and virtually next door to Jester's Lounge- but its inconspicuous location houses a world of interesting treasures. It's hard to imagine what's in store just from exterior appearances. First of all, this is a serious antiques shop. It's not a junk shop or thrift store commingling with that occasional rare find. No, this is a true blue, honest to goodness antiques store. From the rare and extremely valuable to the kitschy and suddenly popular again vintage wares, this little shop packs a punch when it comes to browsing for interesting artifacts of yore. Wall to wall, it's filled with centuries-old fine china tea sets, comic books, vintage depression glass, antique oil paintings and clocks, estate sale jewelry, old coins, 19th and early 20th century furniture (mirrors, chairs, china cabinets), retro lunch boxes, old chandeliers/lighting fixtures rescued from long-forgotten homes, vintage/antique dolls, kitsch memorabilia, vintage postcards, mint condition vinyl records from the 50's (and earlier), old typewriters, Art Deco figurines, and more. The owner seems to be a friendly chap who loves to chat and discuss antiques with anyone who walks in the door. I thought he was very nice and helpful, showing me where things were and offering up little anecdotes about most pieces, including how he acquired the piece, its history, how it was manufactured, etc. His stories are part of the charm of shopping here, I think. The store is small, but crowded. I found row upon row of cool things, but it is a tight squeeze, so be careful while traversing the narrow aisles for that one-of-a-kind treasure. I was slightly afraid I was going to knock something over, but the owner was super nice and told me not to worry and that he'd get something down for me if it was hard to reach. I thought it was nice that he informed me he doesn't follow the "you break it, you buy it" rule that some small shop owners have tried to adhere to (even though, technically, that's what insurance is for, which negates trying to enforce such a standard). I appreciated that he wasn't constantly muttering "be careful" or "you break it you buy it." I hate that. Toward the back of the store, it feels a little bit like a "catch all" room, teeming with unique items, like vintage memorabilia from long-gone businesses, old typewriters, antique objects ' arte, books, furniture, oil paintings/vintage illustrations, and china. The more I looked, the more I saw that I liked. Even though it was super crowded, everything was laid out nicely and well-maintained. I liked the eclectic selection and good quality condition of the merchandise. There are a few caveats, though. A lot of the pieces are not individually priced. If you're interested in something, you have to bring it to the attention of the owner and he'll tell you the price. A few of the larger items, like oil paintings and furniture, are priced, but smaller ticket pieces are not. That happened to me. I picked up a vintage green depression glass pitcher that I was interested in purchasing and he told me the price which he was willing to sell it to me at, which was only $15. I jumped at that and felt that was more than fair. He wrapped it carefully for me in an effort to avoid my new purchase getting any potential chips/damage and my transaction was complete. Another small caveat- it's cash only. This shop doesn't accept credit cards and never has to my recollection. That's a bummer and usually I avoid businesses with this philosophy, but when it comes to antiquing, it does still happen sometimes, so I made an exception. The owner does take layaway and down payments on items, though, to lessen the burden, particularly on larger pieces. If you're hoping to land some priceless antique tea set for a few bucks or a Homer Winslow landscape painting hidden under a pile of junk and forgotten about for $5, don't hold your breath. It won't happen. The owner seems to know his business pretty well and has a good feel for what pieces are worth and what they aren't. You won't unearth some rare relic of 19th century Americana for a few bucks because the management doesn't know its actual worth. In other words, this isn't the local Goodwill. The prices are fair and flexible, but you probably aren't going to walk away with something for a $1 that is worth thousands of dollars that was hidden away in someone's attic. You're better off trying your luck by hitting every garage sale you can tolerate in an effort to hit that kind of jackpot. Overall, it's a quaint antiques shop with a very personable vibe to it.

Cute furnishings shop, but definitely too crowded to be able to look around for more than a hot…read moreminute. My husband and I were here during "Small Business Saturday" weekend in November. This tiny little shop (and I mean TINY) was abuzz with customers jockeying around trying to look at the merchandise. It was so crowded, it was practically impossible. At first, I thought the place was packed. In truth, there were probably only six people inside, but it was at least four too many. This store is small! There's really only room for two shoppers at most during any given moment. It's a shame because the shop is cute. They sell a lot of "upcycled" and DIY steampunk creations. If you know anything about steampunk style, you realize the amount of ingenuity, craftsmanship and creativity necessary to bang this stuff out and, furthermore, you can appreciate it for being art. The stuff is lovely, unusual and well-crafted- and highly breakable. Honestly, I didn't feel terribly comfortable navigating all of that fragile gear and I'm tiny. What the heck would one do if they weren't so small? My 6"4 husband felt compelled to wait it out on the sidewalk while I was shopping. That was probably a good idea. He felt claustrophobia coming on, anyway, and he isn't claustrophobic in the least bit (until he set foot in this store, so there's that). I was so afraid of accidentally knocking something over that it spoiled the mood to shop. I was interested in a piece of two because I like steampunk design and the small sculptures/art, tables, lamps and other decorative pieces looked really interesting, but it was impossible to turn around. They simply had too much stock on the floor and not enough room to walk, let alone browse. I found that to be a turnoff. I couldn't even bend over or turn around very well to look for the price tag on a side table that I liked. I think think the store could be better served if they removed just a tad bit of merchandise off the floor, making a little leg room instead of trying to capitalize on their limited space by stocking the place to the brim. It was simply too tight and not at all inviting. It's just simply not pleasant to shop that way. If I'm walking around a crowded estate sale with everything strewn all over the place, that's one thing. This is different. If the management had bothered to remove just one side table toppling over with additional merchandise from the sales floor, it might have made all the difference. As for customer service, there really was none of which to speak. The lady behind the counter seemed disinterested in the customers and ignored two people attempting to grab her attention. I watched them leave in disgust. I was tempted to ask her for the price of that little table that I thought was so adorable, but she didn't seem approachable, so I didn't bother. Perhaps she was overwhelmed by how crowded the store was with only half a dozen people shopping at any given moment? The few prices I could find seemed a bit on the higher end, but this was downtown Holly and the "upcycled" steampunk gear could be considered art, so it didn't seem out of line with my expectations. I would probably give this place another shot, but it would have to be pretty much devoid of other shoppers in order to have a better shopping experience next time.
