“50cents per toy car, I'm a model collector of toy cars and I got a lot of cheap and cool stuff here! , I'm planning on going here again to buy more vintage cars”
“I don’t think I’ve ever worn a piece of clothing I’ve bought from Vivant that wasn’t met with an insane amount of compliments. They have some of the most unique and beautiful vintage pieces that are truly one of one. All the staff is knowledgable and friendly, and they have a great selection of jewelry as well as clothes. At this point, half of my jewelry collection consists of their sterling silver goodies, which I always get at a reasonable price. The store itself is like a museum, it is truly just fun to walk around and admire the clothes, flick through their record collection, and browse through the vintage ephemera. And if you need a pair of vintage pants that fit you perfectly, trust me they have them. Plus they are always doing events to engage with the community, bonus points for that. ❤️”

“The best store in Boston if you are I terested in transit, history or both! I highly recommend this store. All the things I have gotten from here were reasonably priced.”
“I have purchased many beautiful items from All That Matters. Ursula, the owner, has wonderful taste in everything from jewelry to all kinds of furniture. All That Matters also has great Christmas gifts and decorations.”
“As a former client of Annette Hannon/'As Tyme Goes Bye', I cannot sing her praises loud enough after the great work she has done for my late mother and my family in Belmont over the last decade+, during which time she accomplished that which I thought at the time, was well neigh impossible, in organizing, evaluating and disposing of in a positive fashion, three generations of my family's accumulated Irish- Americana and myriad collections, through successful yard sales, her own shop, and well-focused donations. Neither the scale, level of disorganization, nor huge quantity of my late mother's various collections phased Annette in the least, to my everlasting positive regard. Annette and her assistants are hardworking, organized, focused and reliable, extremely professional, honest and fair with complete integrity.........she possesses all the personal and professional qualities so valuable in someone to help you organize, evaluate and dispose of your estate and family collections with the best possible results. I have recently recommended Annette/As Time Goes Bye, to another old family friend who is in need of help in dealing with her caretakee's art collection and is looking for an excellent professional who will provide direction and honest appraisal as befits their needs, as I know Annette will...”

“This jewel box of a store has held treasures for decades. Whenever I am looking for a special gift, I know I will find it here. Jewelry, artful scarves, wallets and a few handbags in all price ranges are available. They beautifully gift wrap your finds.”
“Cool spot. Cool finds. We pop in from time to time to see what’s new. Furniture selection tends to be a little more rundown or beat up than I’d generally go for. But so many other neat things.”
“Hands down the best consignment store I’ve visited. We bought tons of Tiffany & Waterford crystal glassware in great condition and unbeatable price. Rachael is amazingly patient, careful, and helpful. We left a little crystal turtle behind, but Rachael is in touch with us even at after business hours. Overall, a super happy experience!”
“Absolutely my favorite place to shop for just about everything! Everyone that works there is so friendly and Mark can always put a smile on your face and give you a great deal! Don't pass this place up! You will find so many things you didn't even know that you needed!”
“I have been hanging onto my childhood bureau, from the 60's. Needless to say,it has traveled and moved with me for over 50 years. My dream was to , one day, have it restored to the beauty it once was. Anthony's made that dream come true. I never expected , the bureau to look this amazing. I applaud Anthony, his gift, and the care that was given to this piece of furniture. I love it. I highly recomend Anthonys Furniture Co.”
“Excellent professional service. Job well-done. Selection of available frames is a bit limited, however. We selected one frame that had to be ordered but never came in. The second frame we chose was supposed to be available within a week but took more than another month for our piece to be ready. Some of this may have been due to low inventories at suppliers due to Covid, and The Frame Gallery did a very good job keeping us informed about delays. All-in-all, we will definitely use them in the future and recommend them with the above qualifier.”
“Such an amazing shop, with the warmest and most helpful customer service you can imagine. Getting our fire tools and firewood holder here was such a wonderful experience. This is one of those local gems that you don't want to miss.”

“I have visited this lovey shop off and on for 5 or more years! Joanne is a lovely women with a good eye for picking merchandise that is not soon in any of the stores large and small in our area! There is parking in 2 lots in the area or you can go by bus! The outside decor catches your eye! You want to go in with the window displays she does! Check this shop out!”
“Sharon and her beautiful collection of antiques and jewelry from Africa was just the cherry on top of our trip to Boston. It's rare in antique type stores to actually get to meet the person behind the collection and it made it so much more special! I got some beautiful silver rings and a bracelet, vintage post cards & playing cards, and a silver butter knife. I would've bought so much more if only I didn't have to get on a plane!! Thank you for sharing your stories and your beautiful things, Sharon!”
“Stopped by with an old halogen table lamp that belongs to my sister after making stops at two other places, the second of which recommended Scott at Yankee Lighting - and he had it working again within minutes. He was welcoming and, obviously, more than capable. Customer service like this doesn't exist in many places anymore. I'd give 10 stars if I could.”
“They have the most beautiful lighting fixtures anywhere and specialize in antique fixtures. Jane has chosen many beautiful lampshades for me over the years and they have done many lamp repairs. High quality workmanship that you cannot find anywhere else. So sorry that left Brookline but now I have left myself and moved to NH! I will be contacting Jane regarding a replacement lamp shade soon!”
“I used this expert before, most satisfied always. Today I stopped by with two minor problems, it was fixed on the spot and no charge to boot. This gentleman is a gem, I will recommend him wholeheartedly.”

“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”
“There is no place like Vintage Finds not only for its unique furnishings but for the talent and taste of Kelly and Doug throughout! I enjoy visiting regularly as the changing content is so very entertaining and nostalgic. Kelly is so welcoming and has incredible knowledge she is always ready to share. She is so very passionate about her shop and it is certainly contagious whenever I visit. Highly recommend checking this place out!”
