Thanks”

“Annette not only runs a beautifully curated shop, but her sales are equally thoughtfully organized, fair, and full of amazing finds. Expect to find everything from everyday items to antiques. It’s clear she puts real care into how everything is presented, and she's always kind and approachable. She clearly respects both the families she works with and the buyers she welcomes. Shopping with her is always a positive experience, and I can’t recommend checking out either enough!”
““All That Matters” is a quaint vintage eclectic shop. Ursula is very welcoming and her items ate displayed in a lovely fashion. I always find “something” I never knew I needed or wanted. Always a joy to walk through and experience the selection, imagine it in your home or think how to re- putpose it!”
“A gem of a place. Quality people doing quality work. I asked them to glue up and refinish my reproduction antique tabletop. The purpose of the glue up was to turn the 4 pieces of the top into a solid piece. I had removed the skirt before bringing the pieces in. Dan Jr sent me back home for the skirt and they ended up fabricating the pieces to make a full 360 degree skirt. It looks amazing. Then they finished it all with a nice mahogany color stain and light gloss urethane.”

“Had a lovely time in this soulfully curated shop. Joanne helped me find the perfect gifts for my loved ones, beautifully wrapped them, and exchanged meaningful stories with me. I stopped in for the treasures and stayed for the wonderful company.”
“Had the pleasure to talk with Wayne, who quickly helped me figure out what to do about a 100+ year old gramophone I had. Really honest and kind, and helped me out a whole lot. If you’re trying to figure out what to do with some old antiques and collectibles, a definitely recommend contacting central mass auctions!”
“This is my first and last recommendation for anyone with a wood fireplace. When we first bought a home with a fireplace, this was our one-step shop to start using it. I walked in knowing nothing and with only a measurement of the fireplace opening, and walked out with everything I needed. It's also an amazing vibe, absolutely worth visiting. The owner is extremely kind, welcoming, and knowledgable. Also great prices on firewood.”
“I truly amazing restoration of an old family chair. I was blown away by how beautiful the wood is, especially considering its condition before restoration. Worth every penny.”
“I love this shop and I always pay a visit whenever I’m on Charles Street. You cannot find friendlier shop owners; the store really is a gem with beautiful one-of-a-kind antiques. I love their scarf selection and you can’t beat their china and teacup selection. We purchased a German antique dog figurine yesterday and have placed it on our mantel. We will cherish it for years to come. Thank you so much for your help! We can’t wait to go back.”
“I have never had an experience like the one I had today when I finally had s chance to stop in. I can’t refer to Felton Antiques as a shop, because it was huge! Everything is so well curated. I actually squealed when I walked in and eyed a turkey platter (my new obsession!). I was like a child looking through all the glass enclosed collections. I actually hit my face on the glass a couple of times, because I didn’t realize it was there! When I eyed my other new obsession, uranium glass on display, I was brought to happy tears of joy! I can guarantee there will be a flood from so much tears of joy when others visit as well. The gentlemen who were there today (I am assuming the owners) were such a joy to talk to! They clearly love what they do and it shows. So many unique items at very fair prices! I still have an afterglow from my experience today!”

“Folklorica in Newton Centre has beautiful, unique jewelry.
Lonnie and Jill are fantastic—they helped me find exactly what I was looking for and were so welcoming. I also appreciated that when I liked a necklace, they offered to contact me when it comes in silver. They have a really good range of prices.”

“Responding to AV Wells…The owner of the store has been in the emergency room at the hospital since this morning before the store opened. Maybe if he was a psychic he could have posted that on his store window just for you. It amazes me how quick people are to criticize when they don’t even know what’s going on.”
“Derek replaced the plexiglass on one of my roomate’s Japanese frog painting after I clumsily cracked it while working out in my apartment. He stapled the new plexiglass to the frame in a way that made it more stable than before and even sealed some of the flaws in the frame to give it a smoother/more clean appearance. He got the piece back to me in less than a week and packaged it securely so it wouldn’t get damaged on the ride home. I will definitely be coming back to this location if I have any more picture frame related needs or (in this case) woes, and you should do the same!”

“Gorgeous, high quality stock of rugs. Very knowledgeable and happy to share about the design and construction of various carpets without making me feel uncomfortable about my relative ignorance of the world of fine carpets. Highly recommend!”
“Such a nice store! I think I spent more time talking to the owners who were so friendly and welcoming. This was my first time in Beacon Hill after moving to Boston and Upstairs Downstairs has become a staple for me. They had some really great pieces at what I thought were very reasonable prices. Will definitely be recommending and com ing back.”
“Darkhorse Antiques is a vintage and/or collector’s dream. From Knick knacks, to books, culture decor, there’s literally something there for everyone. The owner, Robert, is very kind, helpful and a great conversationalist. Cheers to many more years in the neighborhood! I was so glad I stumbled upon this place.”

“This store and Mel were a true find! I had tried in vain to clean some of my seriously tarnished antique brass items, and was equally unsuccessful finding someone who could help until I came across Mel Rosenburg, owner of Brass Buff Antiques. He knew immediately how to treat my items but also showed me how to properly clean and polish my brass belongings in the future. I am delighted with the results and meeting Mel was an added bonus. His store is also packed with a great collection of various antique and new brass creations.Esther”
“Great selection of clothing with lotsa sizes for the bigger girls which is always appreciated. Staff is always super friendly and helpful and I know I'll always find something unique that FITS ME as a size XL girlie at Vivant.”
“I had a great experience today purchasing a lampshade for an unusually sized and shaped lamp. I had previously gone online and had all the measurements for what should work, but I decided it was better to talk with an expert who could make a recommendation. That’s what I got and I am very happy with my purchase. It’s the value you don’t get online, full service, no wasted packaging, and supporting local business.”
“Awesome pieces and really fair prices! The longer an item is on the floor for sale the more they discount it. Bought a huge 9 drawer dresser for only $250 with minimal scratches. Other secondhand stores in the area would’ve charged me way more”

“I see people calling this a scam... what this place is a time capsule- a real treasure chest and if youre lucky enough to visit then listen to Patricas most incredible story that she tells proudly. I see people complaining about spending $20 on a book. Shes not forcing you to buy it. Shes a clever lady. Not everyone that walks through her door will spend $500 on an antique ring.. shes running a non profit shop. She also has to eat and she takes a taxi to go to work everyday. This costs money. Shes 102 and still shows up to work everyday. It was an honour meeting her and i loved every second in this shop. PS to the people who begrudingly paid $20 for her book, i paid $40 and she signed it and i love it!”
