I I scored an awesome 50's leather clutch and some fun earrings . This review is really for the staff . Thank you for showing kindness to my father! He had asked to use the bathroom at one of the neighbor places , they told him no . This place was nice enough to let my dad use their bathroom . He just wasn't paying attention when they told him where it was . Thank you to the employee who showed kindness and walked him to where it was. Such a nice simple thing to do but it made me really happy to support a business that believes in kindness . Many thanks !

I wish I could give a 3.5 rating, since overall it was a good experience…read more So here's the deal. - lack of large signage on the exterior, makes it easy to miss being it blends in with the other businesses along the strip. -upon entering you may be given a strip of SOLD stickers. If not, you can find them by the registers. They're for tagging larger items you want to buy. You put the sticker on, and take it's product/price tag to the cashier for check-out. -the store is packed with items and people, which makes moving around not so easy. I don't think it's ideal for walkers, wheelchairs, or strollers. If you have mobility challenges, navigating may be tough. -some items don't have a price tag, like the pillow I bought. I asked the cashier how the price is determined, and was advised they assign what they think is a fair price at check-out. My pillow was valued at $4. -i got there at 10:07am, 7 mins after they opened and there were people everywhere. That said, if you're a serious shopper arrive early to see the goods before the super-early birds snatch it all up. -again, it's filled with stuff; mainly furniture, home decor, dinnerware, kitchen goods, some shoes, books, and I even saw cute scarves and bags. It didn't seem like a destination for clothes. Now that I'v summed that up, I do believe it's a nice option for thrifting and would definitely recommend it.

I stopped in to Antiques on Mainstreet to find specific items to use for shelf decorations, like…read moreold books. It's always tough going in to an antique shop with specific needs as you never know what you'll find. Anyway, the store is two levels and set up with individual stalls for each vendor. The basement has a large collection of books but unfortunately they were a bit high for me (although totally fair priced). Good variety of items although it felt like at the moment, they had less decor and more collectibles, broadly speaking. The workers were all nice and offered to let me put my items down while I shopped. Definitely a place to stop by if you're on the hunt for antiques or just enjoy browsing!

Karen, the shop owner, has a big personality and is always fun to visit and have a chat with. She…read moreknows her stuff, has a skilled eye, and wants to help you find what you're looking for. Today I visited the new location that opened TODAY 3/3/22 (3006 Texas Ave S, St Louis Park) -- great luck!! There's plenty of parking and the space is laid out beautifully. You can really see all the items and everywhere you turn, there's something new. My mom and I like to frequent this shop to see what's new, and I think we'll come even more now that there's a new location! Be sure to follow the owners Instagram (@retrowanderlust) to keep up with any sales she has or if she has changes to her schedule. I believe she's planning on doing a bit of e-commerce, so that will be fun to see as well! We've bought some dresser drawers from RW before, and today my mom picked up a beautiful large blue tablecloth for only $28. She also bought a concrete candle for $14. I'd say pieces are priced fairly -- sturdy and unique antiques are an investment! That said, I think there's something in this store for any budget, there's a wide range of pricing. I definitely recommend going to Retro Wanderlust, and now, even better -- it's in a fun part of St Louis Park. Make a fun day of it or just go to browse the fun collection and go home. I'll be back. Thanks Karen!

So many jewelries!!…read more The shop is not that big, but they have so many nice jewelries. I was in there just to look around, and saw one very nice staff helping a customer selecting necklaces and earrings to try on with her party gown. That is a nice customer service. Apart from their jewelries, they also have vintage handbags. I saw a few selections of soooo cute lulu guinness small purses, and some vintage prada and celine bags. If you are looking for vintage jewelries, this shop is definitely worth a stop.

I can finally write this review! If you are looking for an engagement ring or any antique jewelry,…read morethis is the best place...ever. And trust me, I've looked at a lot of places. I was looking for my engagement ring. That's right, I got to pick out my own. I had been looking for about a year and just couldn't find what I wanted, or something in my price range. I found this place online and went in on a Friday afternoon. They were just opening so most of the jewelry was still in the vault. The owner, Ann, asked what I was looking for and I told her a vague idea. She went into the vault, pulled out a ring and said "Like this?". I kid you not, after looking at hundreds of rings, she got it right on the first try. There it was. Exactly what I wanted and under budget. I actually really wanted diamonds and sapphires but didn't mention that at first because it was hard to find. This ring had diamonds and sapphires! It's like she read my mind! Now, it seemed too good to be true so I put a few rings on hold and came back twice to see if she found anything else. Every time I went right back to that ring. She finally said I just had to face the fact that I finally found it. Everyone at the store was so nice and I had SO much fun talking antique jewelry and looking at their collections. It was THE BEST experience and I wish I could hang out there all the time. However, I would come home with more jewelry than my bank account would like. The best customer service. Fair pricing! Amazing selection for any budget. The store is smaller but don't let that fool you. They really just want to help you find the ring of your dreams no matter what your budget is. I cannot express enough how much I love this place!
