This is a cute little vintage/antique shop. There are a few "curiosities" but mostly the standard glassware, jewelry, clothing, etc in a small space with decent prices and friendly staff.

Me and my brother went here for the first time and we loved it. The woman working said I believe it was 18 different vendors sell out of that store, most of them are antiques, but studio payne was my favorite because they sold oddities like bones, diaphonized specimines, taxidermy, and more. My brother, was practically pulling me out the door because of how long I spent looking at that one section of the store. Also, off topic, but they've got buisness cards and they look so cool. I can't wait to go back!

My partner and I have been looking for an oddities shop, for quite some time now, and this place is perfect! We were greeted by their amazingly friendly shiba and cats ( if you are allergic to cats or dogs I wouldn't go ). The owner was friendly and let us take our time to check out all the treasures. Everything was reasonably priced and we walked out with some new friends. I'd highly recommend this spot and I plan on going again soon.
