Antiques Emporia

There is a concession in this store that sells Nazi, neo-​Nazi and KKK memorabilia. Turned my stomach to see these items for sale. They belong in a museum or in an ash pile.

One of the most exciting stops on the way to Cape May. This shop has something for everyone. Vintage, antiques, collectibles, new, modern, artisans, and chic! The staff is friendly and they seem to love working in this business.

More emporia than antiques. Most of the store is filled with import junk for souvenir buyers.
There are some antiques, but nothing really interesting and what it does have for sale is over inflated.
If you’re looking for some rare finds, don’t bother.

Good selection and diversity, but not really what I was interested in. Most items were traditional, victorian, or just old (like books). I really like mid-​century modern and ethnic eclectics and didn’t see anything of those styles/​eras. They obviously rent booths so it varies as you wander. Ok, just not great…

They have a variety of many different things, new and used, antique and modern, etc, It’s a pretty big place and you have to have patience to search everything. You never know, you may find a gem!

They have a nice selection of very and many random things. There’s just might literally be something for everyone here. I ended picking out some nice vintage pins that I’m going to use for my jewelry since I’m starting to venture into vintage inspired looks. The most random thing that sticks out in my mind is the Alchemy Gothic stuff they had. Wasn’t expecting that one. I will be coming back if I’m in the area again.

My sister really wanted to check out Antiques Emporia after seeing an advertisement for sea glass items being sold there, so my mom, my sister and I headed there Friday morning. We had a bit of trouble finding a free parking spot, but we finally found one a few blocks away (there is also a paid lot a block away). When we entered, there were tons of adorable tea items. Tea cozies, loose tea, tea pots, tea cups, tea sets, etc. Since all 3 of us love tea, we were excited.
The rest of the store was divided into sections, and each section had a different seller’s items. One was completely overrun and basically looked like an old person had cleaned out their attic and shoved it into the space. Across from it, the seller’s area was arranged nicely and we loved the items– my mom bought a Snickerdoodle candle ($ 15) and I bought a bracelet for $ 8. Some sellers had books, movies (DVDs and VHS), jewelry, dog/​cat themes, purses, pocket knives, and I even saw a sword for $ 130. They also had silver coins for sale. It was a lot of fun walking through the store and checking everything out, since it was all so eclectic. The sea glass jewelry and household items were pretty gorgeous, but we ended up not buying any. My sister also bought some tea.
We had some cute finds, but mostly we just enjoyed walking around and looking at all the items for sale!
