My second visit. I was very impressed with the owner welcoming us and letting us know that we can take pictures and bring them to the register for inquiries. With 3 floors there's so many treasures to look at. I collect antique bisque dolls and the shop was recommended by my antique doll FB group. Prices were fair. I made my first purchase and I definitely will be visiting again. Highly recommended for high quality antiques.
Thank you Jenna! See you soon!

Bobby came and introduced himself to me and asked if it was my first time there and it was ok to take pictures and to feel free to take pics and ask any questions you might have. Bought a lovely tea cup and saucer, will definitely visit again.
Thank you Scott!
