I loved Threads of Memories when I lived in Brookings, and I try to visit whenever I go back. I was so worried when I saw the downtown location seemed to be shuttered--but luckily it has just moved to a new location!! Note it is NOT downtown any longer, but about a mile away (Google Maps has the right address). The space is a little smaller than they had before, but that just means they've curated the items even further so everything is top quality. I always find things here, and in a wide range of prices!
Oh my gosh, thank you Laura! The move out of downtown was a tough one.. but we’re loving our smaller slice of life at our new location. I so appreciate the kind words! 🤍🤍🤍

Threads of Memories should be your one-stop shop for all your antiquing needs in Brookings! It is absolutely massive, but it is well organized. There are fun treasures hidden everywhere. Last time I was there, my husband and I found a set of chairs (pictured) that fit in perfectly at our house, and they were priced reasonably. If you're into antiquing, this is the first place you should go.
Aww!! Thank you Calla for the kind words! We appreciate your business and look forward to seeing you and your husband again soon. :)
