Testimonials

On 11/6/2025 Allyssa had this to say:
They have a lot of cool things and it’s very full, but it’s more of a reseller’s shop than an antique or thrift store, due to the prices. If you’re looking for somewhere that someone has already dug through the antique stores and flea markets and is now selling those items (at a much higher price) then this is your place. They have some beautiful items and a wide variety of things to offer as well as being much more organized and put-together than typical antique shops.

On 10/14/2025 K Marie had this to say:
If you haven't, take some time and go take a peak around! Very neat place.

On 3/18/2025 Chloe Atkinson had this to say:
The store is full of good finds. We bought some glasses we’d been hunting for a long time. The woman running the register was friendly & helpful. We’re visiting from out of town & she had nothing but nice things to say about the area & the store! We’ll definitely be back.
