Always a fun place to visit. Hit or miss if you are looking for a specific object. Inventory turns over fairly often.

This is an amazing place with lots to look at. Antiques like Wedgewood china, art, vinyl, even drinks and "Southern snacks". Take a look, because you don't know what you may find.

Delightful store. I really enjoyed my visit. I saw some things I could not afford, but they were very uncommon and authentic. Maybe I will save up for one of them. This store is a rare treasure, the only one of its type in the area. It is intelligently curated and excellent. I bought one record album. I like records and I have a superb playback system. The record has a lot of wear, but I could tell that from the sleeve. To the person here who bought a highly priced record from one booth, I think this is a legitimate complaint if it appeared sealed and was not. This has to do with the one seller in the one booth, so buyer beware. There is probably fifty booths from fifty different people. Again, I enjoyed the store, thought it is completely delightful and enriched my day if not week. I gave the owner numerous and genuine compliments. I am thankful this store is there. It is very well done, superb.
