I always try to stop at this antique store while visiting Duluth and I usually enjoy my shopping experience, but yesterday the music choice was not fun to listen to. It was hard looking at items with loud electric guitar in the background. Not very nostalgic for an antique store. I did mention something to the worker behind the counter and she said that they were changing it up today and listening to light rock. Nothing was done about my concern. Some of the selection was ok, but electric guitar just isn't fun to shop to in an antique store.

I loved stopping in and seeing all the unique antique and vintage peices! It was a bit hard to navigate and walk in some of the booths but that is the only negative thing. There is definitely something for everyone here and I am so happy I found a few cute peices to add to my collections!

Store is great, seems they’ve had some things get shuffled around, but some booths this one in particular feature all this AI generated art. This is just slop typed into a computer by a lazy artist. This is stolen digital art and typically people who sell this know exactly what they’re doing. AI art is a grift. Artificial intelligence art is about as far away as you can get from antiquing or thrift, them allowing this is just greed from the seller and (hopefully) just unawareness from the shop.

Since I have so many great things to say about this store, I should start with my one critique: It seems whoever takes in new inventory has a hard time recognizing when art is AI generated. Please, have someone go through the store to remove AI generated art. If it's being sold intentionally, I'd be even further heartbroken, having to shop somewhere else. That's the only negative thing I can say about this adorable store, and unfortunately, it brings my opinion down quite a lot. Once this is addressed, this will easily be my #1 store to recommend in northern MN, and I'll be happy to change my review to 5 ⭐️ :) Now... all the good things! 1. Staff were very friendly, even though I was there until the very last minute. 2. Most of the store is very thoughtfully laid out. I feel a soft theme in every space I walk into. The way the store splits itself into little rooms makes it feel like I'm shopping at 20 different tiny thrift/antique stores. I had to ask the cashier how to leave, which was silly considering there's only one door. The place just feels so huge! 3. There's always some kind of sale happening. I almost cried, seeing my favorite section (so far) on sale for 60% off. Yes, cried. If you're an antique lover or thrift enthusiast like me, you'll get a little teary eyed too. The cashier assured me that the sales stay for a while, after expressing that I was so sad to leave a good deal (they were closing 😅) 4. There is SO MUCH STUFF! I unfortunately work 7 days a week, so it's very hard to find time to visit in their short 6 hour window. This was my first visit. I spent an hour here, and I'm not exaggerating when I say I didn't even see a quarter of the store. I'm requesting a vacation day off work so I can (hopefully) explore the entire space. 5. Items were fairly priced. I was disheartened to see the price of some of the furniture, but if it were my own, I wouldn't let it go for cheap either. Nearly everything in this store is one of a kind or extremely hard to find. I left with an adorable handmade necklace, and I'm already itching for another visit. Please, clear your inventory of AI art, so I can rave about this place to everyone! It's a treasure I don't want to keep secret.

This is a gem! Many vendors with a wide array of vintage, antique and unique items. Reasonably priced. Every one of my guests that I have taken to this business have found fun things and always want to return. Plan on spending at least an hour or more to really see it all. Oh, and Thank you to Sam and Nicole for being super friendly, heldful and fun at check out.
