Oberlin Free Store

It's a "store" only in the abstract sense... everything is free. Whenever a dorm occupant…read moreliquidates some of their things, they end up here. Bring some stuff, drop some stuff off. The selection varies wildly depending on time of year, but there's always a nice selection of clothing. The concept of the free store originated with the Digger movement of San Francisco of the 1960s. They had a free store on Haight Street where soldiers on leave could walk in looking like a soldier and walk out looking like a hippie, then they would probably go AWOL and ditch Vietnam. Nowadays it's a great way to curb the awful waste of our culture through re-use. As the website says, you need to swipe your card to get into the building. If you can't find someone to let you in, you can call the store and they'll come up and get you.

I highly recommend the free "store"--especially at the beginning of the year, when all the stuff…read morefrom the seniors that moved out last year is still there.

You'll be blown away how many varieties of something as simple as basil there are. Seriously, even if you don't care about organic vs conventional plants stop by. The people are wonderful and the property is so whimsical and beautiful. Aside from herbs, they also have a huge selection of vegetables and succulents. They host a ton of events throughout the summer and offer a CSA program. Saturday's 9-1 (as of 2016) is a farmers market in the barn. The herb fair is usually in late June and hosts local vendors (jewelry, honey, soaps, antiques). Also bring bread to feed the chickens or peacocks if you'd like. As you can tell I kinda love this place and love stopping in when I'm in town.

The herbs are located inside and organized alphabetically

I stumbled upon this store after strawberry picking at a local farm. Its pretty huge and somewhat…read moreorganized. All kinds of things. Makes for fun browsing. Housewares, furniture, pictures, decorative items, vinyl records, toys. A little bit of everything. Prices are pretty reasonable. The person who checked me out did a very careful wrapping job on my item, which I appreciated. They also had bargain bins set up outside where everything was a buck. My only complaint: They use mailing labels stuck directly on front of item as price tags. My item has dried glue stuck to the gold leaf that I probably can't remove without damage. Moving to little hang tags on strings that most vintage stores use would help preserve the item. Then again, the price I paid was half than anywhere else and I wasn't buying it as a collector's item anyway, so no biggie. And the label came off another item effortlessly, so it probably depends. If you are worried, just ask to see item without sticker on it so you can inspect it. I'll definitely stop here again, and because of the price points and high inventory, it doesn't affect my rating of this super fun store.

They've got a great selection of stuff - estate jewelry from $5 and up, vintage linens/table cloths, quilts, old toys, framed art, a ton of tea cups/tea pots, clothing, kitchen stuff.....And on and on and on. Prices vary but overall I felt like they were reasonable (unlike in California where I live!). They are located in the basement of an old church, and have an auction every Saturday from 5 pm to 10 pm where you can apparently get terrific deals on furniture, etc. If I lived in Ohio, I would go all the time!

It is on a beautiful wooded road, and is easy to miss if you didn't take that road. Don't miss it!

If you're "antiquing" in the area (a good place to do it), you should stop by Hen's Teeth as well as Millett's Auction House in nearby Vermillion, OH.

Things Unique

Things Unique is a vintage store in downtown Wellington. If you're into vintage quest mood, this is…read moreone of the two vintage stores within short walking distance. The store offers one-of-a-kind service and merchandise. LAYOUT: The store is one large space with multiple rooms and nooks. The front of the store has manly vibes. The rest of the store has treasures that are more domestic. MERCHANDISE: I've explored plenty of vintage stores but only found certain things here. The front of the store has barber shop sign, old lamps, antique old cans, collectible cars, gas cans, and more. Seriously suitable for a man's cave. The remaining merchandise are ethnic statues, apothecary and perfume bottles, figurines, cups and plates, antique lamps, bonnets, vinyls, wall art, Coca-Cola relics, and more. The shop does not have clothing with the exception of accessories - purses and clutches. However, I was most impressed with multiple small jars with of tonics and other apothecary finds. The inventory is not really organized by theme except perhaps the front, but somehow the store just flows. Every corner holds so much treasure. SERVICE: The service is very friendly. The shop keeper approached me in a greeting, complimented my outfit, and was very welcoming. She felt very genuine. I would recommend a visit to this shop for unique gifts or if you're entertaining. You're guaranteed to find gorgeous table settings. You can also find a perfect gift for your other half. It's a must visit shop.
