Sumi's
This is the type of place that fuses quite brilliantly the concept of contemporary and underground. It's fashionably chic interior is japanese simplicity at its most american best. I frequently shop here to buy pieces for my girlfriend or girl friends, because the majority of jewely here is handmade by artists that are not yet appreciated by the world. Quality is NOT a question, they carry an assortment of well made goods at reasonable prices. It'll get ya the same reaction as tiffany jewelry at a lesser cost fellas. If you got the eye you'll zero in on a definite object here. Did I mention there is a very hip art gallery in the back? I've also bought art and been to art shows here. Family friendly hip stuff. Stop here! YOU CANT GO WRONG!!! I usually say don't take my word for it, but this time you have no choice.
Rumer B Antiques
Rumor B may at first seem to emmulate its neighbors Peron and Vanstone, but after closer inspections, Rumor seems to collect more oddities than any other antique collector Ive seen in town. This is the type of creepy shop where you may buy a blessed or cursed tribal doll or may find a mummy encased (there's no mummy, but if there was one for sale you can expect he'd be the first to buy) If you're looking for oddities this is the place to shop. Voodoo dolls and Canes linger amidst stone mantels and stone gargoyles. If you're looking for an occult edge or are fascinated by forgotten religions and human cultures you'll find them collected here.
Peron Antiques & Collectibles
Peron Antiques & Collectables is one of my favorite places to shop. Once again you have to dig, but you will find very interesting objects that have been forgotten by time. The owners of the shop are extrememly kind to everyone, even the neighborhood children who frequently come by just to spend some time with her. If you're looking for a true heart Mom&Pop shop this is it. The pieces there are mostly american, dolls and trinkets like that, but if you're looking for a decent highlight for your home be it old silverware or artwork. This is a place to go.
Minnettes Antiques Etcetera
What you HAVE to do is dig, and for those of us who arn't pretentious, we do it. The last review underates Minnettes entirely. Maybe an older woman can't find the inherent beauty with in, but I have, and gone back many times to review the collection. It's true that it is a mess and you have to spend time sorting though it to find what you're looking for, but at the end, especially since they specialize in accessories, you will definitely find unique vintage pieces no one else has. YES you have to search for it, but that's what makes it all the more fun. They are extremely friendly and the prices are reasonable depending on the items. Take a peek and judge for yourself, don't take my word for it.
