My husband had noticed that this business had posted "Going out of Business" signs put up on the store's windows and door, as he drove by a few days ago. Today, we went inside. Readers, I did not want to leave. Antiques of almost any kind thrill me to no end. Older books, various pieces of fine glassware, clothing, jewelry, furniture, etc...

I was going to measure the space out in my dining area to see if that was a fit and come back to buy it...but Carol...
Read moreMarge and Jackie are really nice and have done a great job at reconnecting/making new connections with customers. I’ve been in the store twice now since their transition and every time I was welcomed with a big smile and updates about the store. I always go to antique shops looking for vintage cameras. Found a couple around the store but some prices were still high. Then Marge mentioned that she had some herself and was looking to sell. The next time I came, she really did bring one and actually even recognized me and so I guess I kinda have the name “camera lady” now Which I don’t mind at all. Haha. But, really good customer service so far and I can’t wait to see one more stuff. They and their vendors will bring...
