Cute place beside the blue willow tea house. It's more spacious than the front door appears. Loved the modern dollhouse up front. Go upstairs to see the rooms there. Lots of China and some period furniture. Beautifully decorated for Christmas with Byers Choice figures.

This place is fabulous! It's chock full of beautiful Christmas ornaments and other gifts, as well as a great collection of reasonably priced antiques. Each of the rooms in this fabulous old building is decorated in a different Christmas theme. What a fun place to shop for the holidays! A must see in Old Towne Petersburg...

The shop itself is laid out very nicely, so you can observe all items carefully. The owners were quite knowledgeable about many items when I inquired. Such a delightful place with wonderful owners.I purchased a charming Cuckoo clock from them. I've never seen one quite like it. The owners were so careful packaging it up for me. The pendulum somehow wasn't put in the bag with the rest of the clock. I emailed them (after hours) and had a very quick response. One of the owners felt so bad about the pendulum, he offered to drive about 40 minutes to my home to deliver it. I told him I could come by in a few days for it, but he assured me he wanted me completely thrilled with the purchase and able to enjoy it right away. The very next day, he delivered the pendulum. He went above and beyond with this sale. I was so surprised.

Really enjoyed my daughter/mommy date. Beautiful antique items such as carafe's, utensils (with the original cases ?) China sets, furniture, books, clothing, pearls, calligraphy items, you make it! There are two floors with several rooms full of things to choose from. looking forward to coming back with the Women's ministry so they can share the same experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What an absolutely gorgeous collection of wonderful things!! I found quite a few items that I am going to purchase. I'm looking forward to going back for another visit! The owner was helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and so nice to talk with! Do yourselves a favor and go have tea at the Blue Willow Tea Room next door, then walk over and browse through the lovely collection of items here; I'm sure you will find something that needs to go home with you!!

Move over diamonds... it looks like PEARLS are a girl's best friend! Here at Penniston's Alley you will find gorgeous strands of Chanel*like necklaces that will make you swoon! In the years I've been a patron of this shop, I've probably bought over a dozen various sets of pearls!! They have bracelets, earrings, rings and more too! The jewelry section doesn't just stop at these translucent luscious orbs though, I've also been privileged to purchase gold chains, rings, turquoise, vintage pieces and other incredibly unique baubles! Yes, dolls, the world is your oyster here at Penniston's. And guys, you'll be admired for your great taste if you treat your lady to a piece of jewelry from this fine selection! Fab prices and lovely, colorful jewelry pouches, too!! But oh, that's not nearly all!! No sir!! What's better than having afternoon tea? Going next door and antiquing!! If you've never had the opportunity to take tea at Blue Willow, you're missing out! Through the threshold, you will find a glorious array of antiques, furniture, figurines, glassware, brass and pewter, books, home décor, and tons of seasonal items! Everything is displayed with creative flair! Why, one of my favorite things in my house is the entryway oriental rug I purchased from this elegant shop! I love it and the price was reasonable! I get so many compliments on it! Upstairs you will discover even more treasures, incredible vintage quilts and linens, armoires, occasional chairs, desks, mirrors, light fixtures and lamps, artwork, cultural displays, and too many other things to mention! Here I purchased some boho-cool, rustic kilim pillows made from Turkish rugs that adorn our living space. And as I glance around my home, I spy several other gems I have found at Penniston's! Yes, for unusual and precious gifts or eye-catching wares for your home, Penniston's is right up your Alley!! If you visit Old Town Petersburg, these two places must be on your list! And if you live near here, I'm so jelly!!
