“Go-to retail shop for all things creative and DIY. Especially if you are one to look for inspiration in-person rather than on Pinterest, you should wander here to find your next project. Kensington has a street dedicated to antique retailers, consignors and upcyclists which goes by "Kensington Antique Row." More information can be viewed at: kensingtonantiquerow.com.”
“Normally, I’m not one to shop for trinkets a lot, but the moment that I came across this beautiful Japanese drauma doll at The Cusp of Extinction, I felt that I had to get it.
Partly because I’m trying to get back my confidence in making art (writing especially, which was what kept me in spirits when I couldn’t find any acting gigs).
Partly because I’ll be teaming up with a calligrapher soon on hosting origami and calligraphy nights in Rockville.
Partly because I know that at least from my point of view, such trinkets usually aren’t brought back to the United States. It might be because America has a weird relationship with art.
I’m so glad that I came across Tim Green and his establishment. Tim has a wide range of knowledge in just about anything that you can throw at him. He also has good hospitality skills, which I can appreciate having lived in Memphis from 2011 to 2023. I miss sellers who know how to keep you in a store for hours, haha. I wouldn’t have taken my chances on the drauma brush if it wasn’t for Tim. 谢谢！ありがとう！
If the shop was a little bigger, then I wouldn’t mind hosting origami classes and have tea and snacks available. Otherwise, I could do with having Tim as good company. It helps that he knows how to price his items fairly too.
By the way, he really appreciates having customers bring in cash so if you can, make your purchases that way.
If ever my boyfriend, Fernando, wishes to tag along, then I would be more than happy to have him pay The Cusp of Extinction a visit.
Heck, if any of you are in historic Kensington, please stop by and pay Tim a visit. I promise that ya’ll would come out with more than just an antique to take home.”
“Large complex full of unique shops and antique/clothing/crafts, you can't go wrong just ambling about and seeing what treasures you can find. And chat with the shop owners, they know what is hiding on the shelves!”

“they’re very kind and informative. They work on all kinds of classics, every-time I came to look at my car, it’s like a mini car show in there! They update you timely, and their work is awesome !! They fixed up some front-end damage on my fc rx7 and it looks near new.”
“Fantastic selection and wonderful prices! I was impressed by how much was packed into this shop, I’m fairly picky and walked away with a lot more than I usually do from the thrift. The clothing section is the real gem. I’ll certainly return!”
“Beautiful vintage artwork here! With every turn there was so much more to look at. Kensington has a street dedicated to antique retailers, consignors and upcyclists which goes by "Kensington Antique Row." More information can be viewed at: kensingtonantiquerow.com.”
“I could spend hours here finding unique vintage and antique items. They have furniture, ceramics, artwork, linens and decor. I love the plants in old containers and the super cute handmade purses, tea cozies and pottery too!”
“This is a nice store focused more on Americana, country vintage, and primitive antiques. It is not a big shop but it has a good selection. There are a significant number of pieces of furniture and larger decorative items, such as wall art. Overall this store is a good resource if you are trying to decorate your space in country/Americana style with genuine vintage items.”
“John the owner always has new pieces coming in so you never know what you might find. I love that. He is a very nice man who is quite a dapper dresser. Paris, his dog is super sweet, cute and friendly. This is always our first stop when we are in the area. We find something every time we visit.”
“A wonderful store -- beautiful antiques, lovely staff -- a real treat of a place to spend time in. I've been buying here for years and the quality of the items are always fantastic, too.”

“Amazing work and clearly appreciates the original craftsmanship when refinishing. I had my grandfather’s 200 year old desk done by Fabio and it looks perfect. Brings back so many memories.”
