THE VINE ANTIQUES GIFTS & CONSIGNMENT — Local services in Anderson

I really should spend more time in downtown Anderson. I remember when I was growing up, that was the place to be...... Until the Anderson Mall opened that is, downtown just couldn't compare. And if you think back, it was only that strip, from Myers Arnold to J C Penneys. I rarely take the time to stroll along the walkways downtown, but when I do, I take it all in. The atmosphere is very relaxing and it brings back such good memories of my childhood. There's an antique store on the right just past J Peter's that I could walk around in for hours, there is so much merchandise that you can't take it all in with one walk around, your mind can't absorb everything you've seeing. So many treasures to be found. And I love to find treasures. I'm definitely going back. The prices are very reasonable and without a doubt, there's something for everyone. Remnants Antiques is where I want to be, in downtown Anderson. I'm attaching a photo of picture frames that I picked up for $1.99 each. They are metal and very nice. You can't buy something like this...

It is now called The Vine. I found a piece I was looking at on Ebay in the store. I was happy about that. Some vendors are a little pricy.. Some too pricey. Some venders want you to buy and take home what you like. OTHERS WELL, I'll see it in the store months from now. Though, its like that in every Antique store. I have been in alot of Antique stores over the years and, if I can't find it online or some where else for the price I think it's worth then it stays right where it is. I still love looking. They still have some bargains in a few vendors. I don't like the change of dyi furniture and, newer stuff being in the store now. I see that everywhere I go. Antique store should be that you can't get anywhere else anymore. Note to Vendors: if I can look it up online and, get it cheaper you aren't making anything jacking your price up to 400. If it can be bought for two. For the Vendors who keep the prices real. Thank you because, we are going to take it home and love it for...

Beware of the hefty buyer fee..Saturday jan.25th bought a nice piece. I do not usually keep hundreds of dollars of cash in my purse so used my card. Yes, there is tax of course but I was charged an extra 21 dollars...get this all sales final and when I inquired about it I was told by manager the credit card machine was broken had been sent out for repair so it charged it and it is what it is!! Wow...thanks for that awesome business experience. Yes this is a nice store but I will never shop here...
