Vintage Grace

Stopped in during an outing with my mother and sister. We all found treasures and were very happy with the prices! This place is well organized and i’ll be happy to return again!

This was my very first time stopping in, and being the skeptic I usually am I really couldn’t tell you what my expectations were. I didn’t exactly expect to be blown away, but I’m happy to admit that I totally was! The amount of items for sale inside was absolutely incredible! The store itself is a pretty fair mix of antiques and consignment items; most of the consignment is scattered about on the first floor, with a good mix of antique items which definitely gives off that consignment shop feel. There was an array of small furnishings, signs, fabrics, jewelry, ect. There were even a few vinyl albums and tin boxes that I took interest in.
I’m pretty sure I fell in love with this place when we went up to the second floor. Dozens upon dozens of display cases, all filled with different sorts of trinkets (old toys, baseball cards, some army/​navy memorabilia, vintage christmas decorations, glass ware, assorted old papers, ect.). I have a great habit of checking the prices of things even before I think about liking them enough to buy them, and I’ve got to say these are probably the BEST (and by best, I mean cheapest) prices for antique items I’ve ever seen. A gorgeous vintage chair with a pretty fabric on the seat was only around $ 35! If only I had a place to put it. Honestly I could have spent hours up there simply grazing over every little item stuffed into those cases. Most of the cases upstairs are apparently rented out by outside vendors (on their website it says they’re around $ 50/​month, and there’s a 10% commission on items sold, which isn’t bad!), so if you’re looking to sell antique items or a collection, then I’d say this is a wonderful place to do so!
Considering I was on the look out for something very specific, I actually didn’t end up getting anything, but my aunt did end up leaving with a couple of fine items, including an old hockey card of one of her favorite unknown players (for only $ 1!!), a pretty little apron, and a gorgeous bowl. I definitely intend on making this place one of my frequent antiquing destinations, simply because I KNOW I’ll be able to get some pretty cheap items there, which is always nice considering I do not like to spend a lot of money on these sorts of things.
The employees were very kind to us as well, which is always good, knowing that our business is appreciated even if we don’t decide to buy anything. They offered to hold onto what my aunt had found until we were finished browsing the shop, and I found it a little quirky, yet convenient how they chose to handle dealing with the second floor: there’s a doorbell right by the stairs that you can ring, and call an employee right up to remove the products from their cases. So funny.
Needless to say, I just can’t express how much I adore this place! I’m going to recommend it to anyone and everyone who enjoys antiques!
