On the Boulevard Antiques & Collectibles

On the Boulevard Antiques & Collectibles, a neat little shop off the boulevard. From the large glass window out front you can tell this place has a lot to look at. The place itself is antique the aroma of the store smells like a grandmother’s house. The worn down wooden floors even make a slight creek in certain areas on the floor. There is a lot to look at throughout the store with many different rooms. Next to the sounds of the wooden floors the store is over all pretty quiet and peaceful.
The only other thing you may hear is an old record being played but so low you can barely hear the beat of the song that is playing. If you were not directly in front of it or passed by it to quickly you would never even know music was playing. This place has a very home like and comforting atmosphere. Over hundreds of items on display and everything has a white little hand written price tag or sticker hanging off it from somewhere. There is so much on display, fragile procaine items can be found in every nook and cranny of the store.
They have one of the first rooms you’d step into on the right I would call it the red room. A room which actually looks like a vibrant 50s kitchen. The center of the room is an old little red wooden kitchen table. Against the walls are shelves that display a variety of different kitchen items from an old rusted metal oatmeal can to shiny antique teapots. The one item that caught my eye was a shiny red vintage refrigerator. When I pulled down on the thin metal handle bar to open up the fridge you can tell the owner of the store pays attention to little details. The room temperature fridge was filled will multiple hallow cardboard and empty metal can, stalked up almost as a fridge in that era containing retro cardboard boxing of t.v. dinners.
Variety of different items like the original star wars and hot wheels collectable toys still in their box were the packaging plastic is turning a slight off yellow and edges a little crinkled from old age. Old books where the paper is no longer flexible if pulled the wrong way you may rip a page. Even old soft fuzzy mink scarfs including the animals dried out and flatted head, arms and legs. Still attacked with the animals claws, which was an oddity to see. Rustic vintage metal signs, wooden framed portraits, and pictures are displayed on every wall. There is no spot in this antique shop that is empty.

Today was my first time there and I absolutely loved it. I found some great records and I plan on going back when I have more time to shop because they have so much stuff to look at. The people there are helpful and very nice.

Nice little place. A few nice items. The nicer items go quick. It has been my experience that if you want to get something good here, it is absolutely necessary to come in at least once a week. Every item I would consider purchasing is almost always marked «Sold.» As a treasure hunter you have got to stay on this place for the big items, or relegate yourself to tiny trinkets and treasures.
