AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE AND INVENTORY: Under (fairly) new ownership, Caravati's has only improved…read more Today I visited by appointment (to meet a construction deadline) and met with Jennifer who had pre-picked a box full of historic door hardware that perfectly matched the photos I'd texted. She also had pre-selected several vintage six-panel doors for my review. Once on site, the Caravati team made my problems and challenges their own, finding a perfect pair industrial nickel-plated handles for my old oak icebox project and then eagerly volunteering to do some work to convert them from working levers to rigid pulls. Stocking vintage hardware and architectural pieces is one thing. Helping clients actually pull together the PERFECT sets of door hardware -- including glass knobs, backplates, mortise locks, catches, hinges, and screws is next level. When we were driving away, my daughter said to me (of Jennifer), "She was INSANELY helpful." She was! So was Lucas and the rest of the team. Thanks all!

Came here for a Sunday fun day filled with antique and vintage shopping with my friends. We spent…read moreabout and hour and a half exploring and could've stayed longer. Time does not exist here. This antique mall is HUGE! It's filled with everything you could possibly dream of. Like most antique shops, things are a bit on the pricey side, but there is a range of prices for a range of products with a range of quality. All sales are final. We looked through household goods, posters, toys, cards, and even cute outfits. I ended up purchasing a very cute denim romper and a big glass jar with oranges on it. You really have to hunt through rows of things to find the gems you're looking for, but you're likely to find things you'd never expect to find and fall in love with. I'd highly recommend checking this spot out.

There's a great variety and you will probably be able to find your "antique poison" here. Photos, tools, ornaments, books, jewelry, toys, clothes, shoes, kitchenware and the list goes on. I have yet to go in and not find at least one thing. I would definitely suggest following them on social media simply to know about open houses or special events they are doing. I recently happened to stop in during their open house but I would have been able to plan better had I been following them. Most vendors are priced very fairly as well. Definitely a must stop for anyone.

I've found some cool treasures here, but you've got to look hard to find a bargain! Many of the vendors overprice their wares! There's several other antique shops on 301, and across Atlee on 360, so this would be a fun way to go "antiquing" and make a day of it!! You can really get lost in this space, mazes of booths and aisles of stalls full of vintage pieces. You'll find hordes of glassware, china, dishes, bar ware, collectible plates, Toby mugs, Mason jars, milk glass, carnival glass, Fiestaware, and crystal! There are also various booths carrying brass, pewter, silver and other metal items. If you're a bibliophile, you've come to the right place... shelves and shelves of new, used and classic books, magazines, postcards and periodicals. Old vinyl records, 45's, and LP's can be found at several stalls. Vintage jewelry galore and a menagerie of figurines seem to arise at every corner! Tons more... allow plenty of time to browse. And keep your phone ha day to check prices in comparison to eBay. I found this incredible mug with Shakespeare on it that I was dying to have... I checked on the web and found it for 1/2 of what they were selling it for. Check out is easy and organized, most of the sellers don't haggle much, they have standard percentages off they offer at the counter (if you ask) but oftentimes I've been told they can't come down of the price. With so many vendors, I can see why it would be hard to try to contact everyone for discounts. Many items are marked "firm". I thus firmly believe this to be an middle of the road antique shop, but worth a gander!

We were looking for a place that was open for some thrifting on a Sunday and we ran into this. I hadn't heard of it before and was so happy we stumbled upon it. The person running the shop when we visited was this extremely kind music producer. He was easy to talk to and really kind. There were several rooms filled with unique and beautiful things. I love how this store is a combo of an antique store and used record store. You can find the music in the back. We found some really pretty things. Do know this place isn't cheap, you can end up spending high prices, but there are quality pieces. I've been wanting to buy a pair of rollerskates for a long time and ran into a pair that were my size. I took that as a sign and decided to take them home with me. I'd recommend checking this charming shop out, just know that the prices are higher, but it's a great collection of stuff.

They also sell lots of holiday decorations, vinyl records, outdoor furniture, and tons more! It's a joy to walk down the aisles and say "I had that!" Or "Remember those!" I did happen to spy a cute little Snoopy Fire King bowl that I got for a friend! No matter what, you'll have a blast perusing the goods at this super cool shop!
