Belle Starr Antiques & Vintage Market — Attraction in Fort Smith

I was in Belle Starr Thursday with my best friend (my dog Toby) and let me preface by saying that I usually visit them once every week or 2, another customer was in there with her dog and her dog peed in the store and the young lady working made a very loud and big deal of it to the whole store, while I understand her point of view and completely agree with it I do believe she could have handled it a lot better by just calmly walking over to the other customer with a dog and letting her know quietly what her dog had done and asking her to clean up the mess and also either hold her dog or leave. But instead of doing this as I already mentioned she made a big production for everyone in the store to hear, in the meantime I had to go to my vehicle to get my magnifying glass for an item I was looking at and when I returned the young lady said she would have to ask me pick up my dog and carry him as well, which I did and when I turned to tell her that Beth the owner was the one who had originally invited my dog inside of the store several years ago I took one step forward and I was at least 20 feet away from this young woman she said I was approaching her aggressively and in a very loud voice demanded I leave the store. I am 57 year old man with a little schnauzer and I do not have an aggressive bone in my body, and I was really upset, angry and hurt but I have thought and prayed about it for a couple days now and I have decided maybe this young woman was just having a bad day ..... we never know what another person is going through and Jesus calls on me to forgive and love this young woman, that is why I am leaving a 5 Star review because at least 99.9 percent of the time I have been treated with love and dignity...

A little pricy, as most antique shops are. But they did have some good prices on some cool stuff. I mostly went here cuz I saw a post on Facebook marketplace advertising plants. Ended up getting two reasonably priced really good looking little plants. Also got this cool seashell wind chime thing and a gorgeous carnival glass vase. Didn't need any of it but it all came home with me anyways. Can't say I'll be back soon since there's so many other antique stores and little shops all over fort Smith that I'd also like to visit, but I would definitely recommend this place, maybe go back for a few...

Paranoid owners. Thick plastic BARRIER in front of counter, extra large sanitizer, box of masks (for our protection)even though its known THEY DO NOT WORK . Literally THOUSANDS of doctors and medical professionals are suing because of the fraudulent info being put out there. The teeny, tiniest bit of research and you can read for yourself. The store was clean other than that, its very over priced. Oh, and if your looking for satanic items, they have a booth with framed tombstone rubbings, ouija boards, bath and dismembered doll parts framed for you home decor. Run...
