SERVICE; the two women who were working that day were not very welcoming or friendly. SELECTION; A good selection of antique (vintage) items displayed nicely by numerous venders.

My husband and I both found some rare finds that we eagerly purchased to add to our various antique collections at home, and I'm glad he was working at a job site down in Essex or we'd have never known that this place was down there. You can find anything from several dollars to several thousand, and there's something for everyone here. Each little nook and cranny should be gone through or you might miss something, but it's all very well organized and clean. Bring cash or check for a potential discount on some of the booths. I'm super glad I actually had my checkbook on me for once!

Today I visited this store with excitement! I saw several blue plates that I wanted to purchase for…read moremy epic plate wall at home. Nobody greeted me and I had to search for help. The sales lady looked upset that she had to help me because she was sitting down visiting with another woman. The blue plates were not priced and I asked the sales clerk what the price was. When she shared the price of the first plate, I said "ohhh". She interpreted this to mean that I couldn't afford to shop in the store. She looked at me and said, "If you think that is expensive, you won't be able to afford anything in here." I could not believe my ears. I asked the price of a second plate and tried to move on. She told me, "That plate isn't for sale." I'm a 57 year retired woman visiting from Los Angeles. I'm here in town for lots of shopping and the Sea Glass Festival, I'm pretty sure I have the money to buy a few blue plates and whatever else I want. Never in my life....today was an absolute first. Do not shop here, unless you enjoy being treated disrespectfully and having to search for help.

A thousand stars!…read more My friend and I made the mistake of arriving just under two hours before they closed. I wish we had given ourselves more time, because you need it here! We started by visiting the bird and reptile sanctuary, which was both really sad but also really nice. The folks working there were friendly and informative. We also enjoyed visiting the goats outside. The book geodesic dome is very cool, and the tchotcke camper was fun to poke around in. Very sad we didn't have time for the Christmas airstream. Inside there is a case, which was closed by the time we got to it. Another reason we should have arrived earlier. It's next to an old books room, which I loved. I just want to sit in there and read. The mounted stuffed animal heads were a nice touch. The lower level also has a huge amount of stuff, but it's super well organized. I wish, when I was young and moved into my first apartment, I could have gone to a place like this to get all of my home furnishing and kitchen things. Upstairs is more like a traditional thrift store with clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, etc. Everything here is so inexpensive!! I bought five books, two shirts, a pair of earrings, and two greeting cards for $24. I would have bought waaaaaay more stuff if I had time to browse longer and more thoroughly. The only other warning I have aside from the amount of time this place needs in order to fully experience it is that it is rather dusty inside. When I go back--and I will--I will take an allergy pill or wear a mask. Can't recommend this amazing and unique place enough!

This little shop is an under-$5 treasure hunt, known for its movie selection. The feel is more like…read morethe entire neighborhood's tag sale got crammed into a single garage, so you're here for true random yard-sale finds, not for the thrift-department-store experience of Savers or Goodwill of Southern New England. Within that space, it's well-organized enough that if you're looking for one thing, you can be in and out fairly efficiently. You will find clothing (looked quirky, which I now regret not exploring -- my sizing's so unusual that it'd be a lot of digging), costume jewelry, fashion dolls and small toys, movies, basic stuff like power cords, and a few dishes and decorative items. Don't look for furniture, small appliances, or larger toys. Don't bring your entire book club -- they won't all fit in the store at once. Do bring cash, since the prices are so low. I'd been thinking about milk-glass hen-on-nest casseroles and behold! There was a small one. Since it's unmarked, there's decent odds it's a Walmart repro or something, but it was $1, and everything's beautiful when it's $1. So it's that kind of store. I would hit it up on future trips.

That ended as soon as I opened the door. My friend and I were not greeted by the rude gentleman who sat behind the desk. He didn't even respond when I complimented him on a piece. There were two items I wanted to purchase but decided I'd rather deal with people who know how to treat their customers. A friendly demeanor, a knod or smile acknowledging someone has entered your store, can actually produce a sale. Merchants in town agreed that many complain about him.

I was glad to say hi to him again but the last time I was at his store was 5yrs ago and time goes by fast. I wasnt sure what he had in this store but when i walked in I knew had some real nice pieces and answered my questions on what I wanted to know more about. David has a nice collection of Glassware from different styles and ages. Im a rare book collector having been in that field from my work for about 30yrs. Ive now been buying nice and affordable antique furniture and from what David has its reasonable. Been to few other Antique stores but all I get is they came from another persons Estate and didnt tell me much other than that. I highly suggest just even taking time to stop in and look take your time, Yes Its a quiet place and you will get some info from what it is and about it. Best Always David Brian
