Came in for an extended wkd trip w/ my guy from Lafayette, La. I’m an avid antique shopper… this is THE BEST antique shop I’ve EVER been too (and I’ve been to a ton of them). We met the owners and they were awesome. Super sweet and take great pride in their shop. Everything was well organized… and so many unique and beautiful things. Will definitely be back!
