First time in this store as I was doing errands nearby and someone mentioned this was here; while…read moredriving up Route 28 I kept thinking it seemed too residential and I missed it somehow, but then there it was: a big store in the middle of a neighborhood. Lots of parking, very well organized and all the extras that make HG easy to shop: throw pillows arranged by color, good cards for $1.99 so you can stock up and be ready for all occasions and an aisle full of dish towels with every color/design you can dream of. Animal lover? Prefer plaid over stripes? Towels to proclaim your love of whatever holiday is coming up? There is a towel - and maybe a matching pot holder - for that! Living in the city, the stores around here don't have a lot of the larger furniture items but they had a few big sofas and chairs, tables for homes larger than 600sf (lucky suburbanites) and outdoor rugs larger than my first condo. Extra bonus points for having four registers open on a Friday morning with nice employees at all!

It's a small space but they use it well; there are knickknacks and cool antique pieces everywhere you look, and the owners are knowledgeable about what they sell and about the history of the town. This shop differs from other local antique shops in that it sells more small pieces and collectibles, rather than large pieces of expensive furniture and framed paintings. It's a much cozier and more welcoming feel than the showroom-style places nearby where you're scared to touch anything with a price tag on it. I collect vintage compacts and cosmetics and Un-Common Antiques has saved me a couple trips to Concord, as I can find the pieces I'm looking for here without the ridiculous markups and the long drive.

She is a clear communicator, very very knowledgeable about furniture and what it's made of, and comes through every time re the forecasted time frame.

Her artistic ability and creativity is awe inspiring. She took an heirloom piece that was passed down from my mother in law and is very special to us and turned it into a family treasure! I never thought this piece would be able to be restored. Not only did she restore it, she made it look like something out of a catalog but was able to preserve its natural vintage beauty. I will be using the Pink Pine cone again. If you're looking for someone to help you either keep or redesign something special for you, look no further!

They didn't know and couldn't find the price anywhere. So that was a lost sale. Then I bought something with $5 as their sign requested but they didn't have any $1s for change.
