On tv show you see people getting awesome things for very cheap, but I've never experienced it, that is until now. This place is absolutely amazing! This place is exceptionally dirty, unorganized, and has no rhyme or reason, and I wouldn't have it any other way! It is a thrifters dream. Don't wear something nice, you will get dirty. If you have allergies, take a Claritin before hand. It is worth a visit, trust me! They have furniture, China, glassware, lamps, art, kitchen stuff, old nuts/bolts/fittings, old tools, and more. They have a little bit of everything. It's a labyrinth of small paths, dead ends, strange rooms, all full to the ceiling with stuff, literally stuff hanging from the ceiling.

I was rather surprised to find there was not a Yelp listing yet for this hidden gem in Lake County…read more I'll be the first to admit, I've driven by the Spring Run farm sign on the Nine Mile Stretch a zillion times. If you are from the area, you know Nine Mile Stretch. If not - 55 aka Grant Street. So, Wednesday evening, my better half was in from out of state, traveling from a work location, he came up the Nine Mine Stretch and saw their sign. Thursday morning, we found the place. Quaint setting on a "real" farm. We didn't know they were having an Open House and had recently re-opened after the winter months. By the time we left, the parking lot was packed and the shop was a beehive of activity. When we arrived, right at 10, they had just opened and there were already a couple shoppers. We were greeted sincerely and warmly - and I watched that sincere interest in customers (brand new or established) over and over and over while I was there. Better half was pleased with antique selection - spoke about it numerous times over the past couple days. As for me - candles galore, gift items - from small budget stocking stuffers to larger items - kept me fully engrossed and I know I didn't see the full shop. What a wow factor and attention to detail. Customer service was spot on perfect. If you love going to Brown County, Indiana even half as much as I do - you will be head over heels about this unique antique and gift shop. If you are looking for that special gift, or want to treat yourself - a must stop. Put this place on your shopping list - I'm betting you'll leave with some unforgettable purchases.

I could spend an hour in this shop looking at everything. There are several things from the 1800's…read more Lots of Grandfather clocks, furniture, collectibles. There are some very nice mahogany and walnut pieces. I need to save up some cash. The building is really quite deceiving, there is just room after room to walk through. I really thing things were priced to sell. Some if the things were priced similar to what you would pay for a cheap modern day made-in-China piece. But as you carefully use some of these pieces they only appreciate in value instead. This is a must see shop. Give them a call ahead to see if they are open. It's owner operated without outside help so there are times they need to close up shop for the day.

Katie's Antiques was BY FAR the best antique store I have visited. I love looking at all the gems…read morethat stores have to offer but Katies was so much more than any other store I have been to. I felt like I was in a museum because items offered were hundreds of years old and most I have never seen for sale before. Their Toby mug collections were incredible and all the items I saw were fairly priced considering the age and value. people commented on their post that the store was too crowded with items but I loved that about the store. I spent over an hour just looking at all these incredible treasures and loved every minute of it. I wished there were more items crammed in this vast store so I could have stayed all day. The owner is an absolutely darling man who is so knowledgeable and friendly. I love to look at all the items but am not looking for expensive stuff and he didn't seem to mind that my purchase didn't amount to more than $20.00. I got an awesome Carnival glass cake plate for $9.00 and a Fire king bowl for $5.00... both were a great deal. check this place out because it is a hidden treasure for antiques!

Me and my father go to flea markets during the spring through late fall every week and this is…read moreeasily the worst one we've gone to. We've been to this place about 3 or 4 times Tiny amount of sellers... like less than 30. Some of these guys just slap a couple things on a table and sit there all day waiting for that one person who's looking to buy whatever it is they have. Why someone would waste their time to set up a place at the flea market to sell one or 2 things is very confusing but whatever. Then when you do come across a person selling a good amount of stuff its usually A. dirty as hell, or not working. B. Very expensive C. Nothing of interest. There are 2 examples that i remember (its been about a half year since we've been here) One lady who resells video games had a copy of Vigilante 8 for the ps1 and some GBA game. The price for both of them together was 6 bucks. I asked if she would take 5 bucks instead of breaking a 10. She looked at me and groaned and replied with "eh if i have to" You could have just said either yes or no. Whats with the attitude? I almost bought something else from her but her shitty attitude killed it for me. Then there was this other dude in the far back of the place selling fireworks, children's toys and video games. As soon as we walked over there the guy was eyeing me like i was going to steal something. I saw a SEGA Game gear on the table with about 30 games. I opened the case to look at it and this guy flew off his chair and stood next to me. I asked how much he was asking and he came up with 400 bucks. He also for the record smelled terrible... You know when you get the paper or some magazine there'll be a sample of perfume or cologne? It was like he opened the samples and rubbed them all over his body. Fowl... I quickly shut the case and said ok thank you. He bullshits and says something like how it comes with all these expensive games and whatnot. I didnt say anything to him but i wanted to tell him he was full of shit. Game gear games... well at least the ones he had i could pick up at DiscReplay for less than 3 bucks each. Plus none of them had any cases or manuals which for me as a collector is a big factor. I dont really see any reason to come to this flea market to either buy or sell when the Uncle Johns market is not even 5 minutes away and is a million times better than this one. Hell maybe thats why it doesnt have much going on, maybe all the people go to uncle johns instead of this market. Who knows either way i wouldnt come here if i were you.

My husband and I are avid collectors and frequent the areas antique shops almost every other…read moreweekend. My sister lives nearby which is how we happened upon this place. It was in a day that their flea market wasn't operating so we went into the barn which appears to be their main area. I brought up a framed picture that I found to the cashier and she examines the picture, balks at the price the vendor listed and tells me it is too low and she was calling the vendor to advise she raise the price.... meanwhile my husband is behind me with an item he was purchasing when an elder gent approaches him and tells him the item is not for sale despite the price tag affixed to it. We left. Never going back.

I could have sworn I wrote a review for this antique mall in the past. My first time here was…read morearound new years 1 year ago, and I've been back a couple times since- most recently NY day. Yep- that's right, they are open NY day! First of all, this place is huge! You might think you've seen it all, but then go to the far right, past the Eatery, and you will find a whole other wing to check out. I've spent hours upon hours looking at each vendors "booth" and the cabinet cases to the far left front of the store. I've purchase things from jewelry, to gilded mirrors, gold antique letter stands, wall shelving unit, and an animal skull. But I've also purchased fudge, fried pickle mix, and bourbon carmel sauce. This place has everything you need. One thing I must point out, is some of the booths have modern items, things you can buy from Amazon. So, not everything is antique or even used/second hand. But I think overall, there is a good mix. I go for the antiques primarily, but I have found myself looking at some of the modern stuff that has antique style. I love when I walk in around holidays and see booths with sale signs. I try to go straight for those, because that's when I find I get the best deal. And almost always when things are on sale, you get the best value for your money. That's not to say that I don't buy things when they aren't on sale, I will. I just get excited when I'm bleach to spend less. But be wary, one time there was a sale sign with the correct dates but when I brought the item to the front, they admitted they must have printed the wrong sign because there was no sale listed for that booth in their computer. I always double check now before buying things. Another thing to note, if you find an item and it doesn't have a sale price on it, take note of what the booth number is and where in the booth you found it, then bring it to the front. They can contact the booth vendor for you to ask what the price is. Logistics: - there is always parking- the lot is big - there are not always carts to shop (they have run out more times than not) - the people working are very nice and helpful - if you get hungry while shopping, they have eatery32 inside on the right. Great place! Make sure you have a lot of time if you want to explore everything. Or make several trips :) The people

Fake Jellycats that cost more than the real ones. So dishonest! I'm so glad that we were paying…read moreattention and my 10 year old didn't waste her chore money ($50) that she worked hard for on a fake stuffed animal. Then to top it off...they sell the dust bags (that are free if you order the real ones from the actual Jellycat website) just to try to make them look more authentic. If you sell a fake product you should clearly state that, but no matter what IT SHOULD NEVER BE MORE THAN THE REAL PRODUCT. How terrible can you be to be making a buck ripping children off? These ppl should be ashamed of themselves.

What a fabulous venue for our baby shower event!…read more If you're looking for a truly special venue, Blue Moon Barn and Vintage Market is an absolute hidden gem just over the Illinois border and south of Lake Michigan in Westfield, Indiana. Tucked away down a quiet, tree-lined country road setting feels beautifully remote--peaceful, private, and full of charm. So very worth the drive! The barn itself is nothing short of magnificent. With soaring two-story beamed ceilings and thoughtfully curated décor, every corner is filled with unique vintage finds sourced from around the world. The creative lighting alone is stunning and creates an unforgettable atmosphere, whether you're hosting a daytime gathering or an evening event. There is even an Airbnb guest apartment inside the barn! Inside, the over 5000 sq feet of event space is both elegant and functional. The long, 12-foot wooden tables add to the rustic sophistication, and the full-service kitchen makes hosting seamless. There's also plenty of parking, which makes things easy for guests--something I've found is often overlooked but so important. What truly sets this place apart is its heart. The property is situated on an 80-acre animal rescue acreage, and the events hosted there help support that meaningful mission--something as a guest I felt good about being part of. And a special mention goes to Jen, the hostess, who is warm, incredibly accommodating and welcoming. Her attention to detail and genuine care make the entire experience even more memorable. In my opinion, whether you're planning a special event, wedding, or simply visiting, Blue Moon Barn offers a one-of-a-kind experience that blends rustic beauty, thoughtful design, and purpose in the most wonderful way.
