Back Porch Antiques & Collectibles — Local services in Cape Girardeau

Beverly is very sweet and helpful if your looking for something specific.

Affordable antique store, (7$ or so for a floor lamp, 90 or so for a mirror/table/storage thingy as compared to 120 for the same sort of furniture piece in another store) the prices vary but you'll likely be able to find something!

spanish st mercantile, pastime antiques and this shop all have affordable prices if you look hard enough, however back porch antiques is where its at if your trying to get things you need affordably across all sorts of items.

there isn't any music playing in the store so for you folks that cant stand radios/store music this is your haven. fans are around and theres a library section where you can sit down and read books if you wanted to.

craft section is good, lots of affordable patterns (2 for 3$ deal), dominantly butterick ones, styles ranging from 1950-1980, most looked to be patterns with more business casual tastes, ie 1970 blazer/skirt patterns, basic shirts,dresses etc, with some kids patterns too, sizes were generally vintage sizes 10-14, meaning XS-to maybe a tight medium. no mens patterns that i saw, lots of crochet/fabric panel scraps,linens,etc.

big collection of glassware, bakers items...

My family and I stopped in to take a look around today and I will definitely be back. Reasonably priced, well organized and the cookie cutter room is a bakers dream! Also, the owner is very allergic to dogs (hence the sign on the door). Don't be rude and tell her that she doesn't want your business then, when she kindly told you that she is highly allergic to dogs. I couldn't believe that...

Large store, interesting products, nice staff. Was very happy to stop off and visit. Also went down to the river and see the Riverboat that was docked. If the helpful staff hadn't told me about that, I would not have known...
