Stopped in today for the first time. Beautiful venue with lots of parking available. Nice, eclectic assortment of vendors with many different styles of vintage and antiques. The owner is very friendly and helpful. She was full of local knowledge and shared some cool photos of the original businesses that were in that location previously. Looking forward to my next visit. She informed me they are in the process of expanding and vendors bring in new items weekly. So, it's always fresh. Thanks for such a warm welcome.

It's a huge place like it's the whole basement of the commercial exchange building, it's a beautiful set up, there's different areas where individuals have consigned their own items, a wonderful smorgasbord of old and new and at fair prices. Make sure you take your time and look at all the goodies. There's not only antiques there's also soaps and candles, There's also collectibles, Pokemon to Spider-Man and ect. I could go on but to many things to mention, oh did I tell you there's was a electric cart for use for the walking impaired, there's stairs so if you can't climb them you'll have to wait til they figure out another way (theres plans in the works) 2 very helpful handsome men there that very carefully individually wrapped up each item. I only made it halfway through the store I thought it was smaller so I didn't have enough time before my appointment so next time I'll know to go with lots of time to browse, oh there's new items all the time so I can't wait til next time.

one of the most beautiful and interesting antique stores I’ve ever been in! Way bigger than I expected I felt like I was exploring for ages in there. The location has a very old and creepy but charming atmosphere to it. All of the booths were beautifully curated and I feel like there was definitely something for everyone in there. I will definitely be returning frequently!
