“She has a ton of stuff in here. This is definitely an antiques store NOT a thrift shop. Meaning it will be expensive because its rare and vintage items. Not junk from your mom's closet. There was such a broad spectrum of items I won't pretend to know much about the various things in there. With some of the things I was familiar with I found the discounted sale prices to be about normal and in the range i was comfortableto spend. Original prices were a bit high. I did find her costume jewelry (estate or not) to be overpriced. Old doesn't always mean good quality and shouldn't immediately equal expensive. But the owner was certainly up to bargain. She did tell us when we first got there that the prices on items were higher as they included shipping since she sells online. So anything purchased in person would be less. We visited on Dec 27th and it was nice that she was open for those of us with some Christmas money and time off to spend it! She was very talkative and involved with her customers. Some people like that. Some don't. I felt once she realized we weren't in a super talkative mood she let us just look around. That said most days we love some chit chat because you can learn more about an item and what makes it special. Having someone sit at a counter and never acknowledge you are there is frustrating and rude. So I think Bonnie had a great balance. We ended up not buying anything but she was just as polite when we were leaving as she was when we came in regardless. I am actually quite surprised at these reviews. I did not look up her store first and only read these reviews as I was preparing to write mine. My experience was not negative and I think if you like antiques this is a great spot. She knows what she has and prices accordingly. I think since Ebay, social media, and Google photo search, the days of buying a cool rare antique at a ridiculously low thrift store price are gone. Its very easy for a store owner to look up the value of an item and price it for what makes sense. They don't have to rely on only locals and their wallets. They can ship anywhere in the world easily. So I think the only unhappy people are those not being realistic. If you want rare antiques you're going to pay for them.”

“This family is absolutely amazing. They are very good at what they do and they keep you informed, every step of the way.

I live by the saying "I am too poor to buy cheap". I cannot afford the cheap furniture that the big names offer. The furniture that doesn't last.

Instead, I have all my furniture custom built.

Recently I had the vintage room build me a bed for my daughter, a chest of drawers and a rolling door.

Words cannot describe how amazing of a job they did. I am super happy with what the team did and I will be back for more.”
