Loved this antique store! They had beautiful items and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Had everything from old, vintage clothing to jewelry and cameras from the 1900s

This antique store is like so many of the others in the immediate area, selling antique and semi-antique items. I didn’t see much upstairs that immediately caught my eye as being different or worth noting… they did have a large selection of vintage clothing, and two years ago I bought a vintage leather briefcase from that section for $ 50. There was also a section that had some really cool meat grinders and other antique grinders– for nutmeg, etc. In fact, the antique tool section was pretty cool all the way around… and was reasonably priced. I will say that the basement, though dusty as hell, had a large selection of asian items. They didn’t look to be very old, but several were high quality, including several kimonos(I think) and wallhangings.

I had a terrible experience here. I came to VA on a vintage clothes buying trip, and stumbled upon this place during my search. The freeway had been almost shut down due to a serious car accident, so we got there about half an hour before they closed(at 5 p.m. on a Saturday.) So come about 4:50 p.m., I found a shop in the back that had a lot of vintage clothes. I had about $ 700 worth of clothes I was ready to buy. someone in the shop turned the lights out, and I had to not only leave the HUGE amount I was going to buy, but I left a magazine I had purchased else where in the dark. To make a long story short, I didn’t realize it was missing until I stepped out of the shop. I went back minutes after they were closed but everyone was gone. My friend and I came back the next day to look for it, but we could not find it. I did buy a couple things after all, and spent almost $ 100 at the same shop, but could not find the magazine. Someone called me back and said minutes after we left, some one found my package. As I had left my address, I asked them to mail it to me. They said no prob. About two days later, when I was on the airplane heading home, I got a call from this store saying I had to pay $ 10 to get my magazine mailed. I tried to explain to the lady that I mail items on a daily basis, and it would in no way cost that much. I started to, or was going to say that since it was«media» it would cost maybe $ 2.00 at the very most, but she started YELLING at me on the phone so I hung up. I was seething for a while, thinking that I spent GOOD money at that store, to be treated so badly, and for them to try to overcharge to send ONE vintage magazine back, was all together, unprofessional, rude, and just plain bad business. And last but not least, the majority of clothing in the store was not vintage. Most antique stores do this, and it makes no sense.

The staff was super friendly but… a lot of the stuff was replicas instead of antique. some vintage. Downstairs we found a couple of plastic containers from the 1990s that would hardly be considered collectible with a price tag of 5 dollar or more(small glasses, knicknacks, etc) I was especially appalled at the plastic Hershey powder container with the label about 1 tug from being pulled off. the section downstairs looks like someone just cleaned out their home and was hoping to make buck off it(more like 5 bucks off it)
