This place is so cute. The ambiance and general vibes are immaculate. It’s a little pricy but that’s to be expected at a curated store. I’m in love with the cats there and there cat jewelry collection.

Great little shop! Found so many oddities and fun things to take home. The two kitties roaming around add an element of fun, and all of the employees and vendors I spoke with were incredibly kind and helpful.Another commenter made a note of a “litter box smell.” I smelled nothing of the sort. It was a clean, albeit a little cramped, well organized space. It was a bit warm in there but almost every booth had a fan. And it’s summer. It’s kind of to be expected.I recommend a stop in especially if you love vintage/mid century decor.

Had a blast here. Well organized and clean. A welcome respite from the heat. I lost myself which is what I want when I thrift. Theres so much to see you have to wait for things to reveal themselves to you. And that is how I found my Japanese horse. Give yourself time here. Pet the cats. Breathe.

I love nostalgia!! They have awesome staff and such a variety of booths and products to offer. I saw so much of my childhood in this store. Bonus! They have store cats that you can pet and cuddle up to while shopping! It definitely was the highlight of my day when I went Antiqing

Love just browsing this store. I wish I had room (and money) to buy all the neat things they have for sale. Also, I dont even like cats and theirs are sweet and adorable.

Smaller than I expected, considering the billboards along the highway, it did have a nice selection of vintage stuff. Definitely more vintage than antique focused, most of the things I found seemed to be from the 1960s / 1970s, with occasional dips into the 1950s. Prices were not too bad, but not great either. Overall, if you’re driving by anyway go ahead and stop in. But, not worth a special trip.

It looked like a nice store didnt stay long due to mean worker but the other worker told her not to speak to the costumers that way so maybe it got took care of.

Ok, so we saw the billboard on I-40 and decided to stop in and check it out. Im so glad we did, because this place is so cool! We literally spent awhile trying to look at every nook and cranny of this place. There are some amazing finds to be had. My daughter got a vintage hat and some vintage books. We will definitely be back!

Review №44

Saw several things mislabeled while I was there. A polyster shawl labeled as silk. A 1970s dress (complete with plastic zipper in the back and a union label tag) labeled and priced as a 1930s dress.Many of the items could only be described as in acceptable conditon if they were to be listed on Ebay, but were priced high like they were in mint conditon.As a vintage collector, I was not impressed. I dont mind spending money, if it is WORTH the money.And one of the ladies behind the counter was less than friendly.Knoxville needs to get a real vintage store, like the ones in the river art district in Asheville.Their stuff is pricier, but at least they know what they are selling and arent going to mislead you.

Review №50

Great place with some really cool stuff. I didnt give 5 stars because there is actually too much stuff, in my opinion. You have to really do some bobbing and weaving to see certain items on the back of the shelf. I felt a little claustrophobic. But despite this I will continue to be a patron here.

Review №52

VERY expensive. Itd be easier to find some of these things online. Probably cheaper as well. But the incredibly nice staff and the resident cats cancel it out. Each visit tends to be a good experience.

Booth style antique market. Prices are a little high but depends on the item. They have shop cats that are always ready to greet guests. Easy parking and clean restrooms.

I could have stayed in this shop all day . It had some things from my childhood . The first time I have ever seen the critter bells since I sold them for BATON

Review №55

Such a cute shop filled with a plethora of mini shops-all vintage items. Really cool finds. They have a relationship with a local feral feline group where some of your purchases benefit that organization. Youll definitely find something here that youll love. It was on the hot side with no air conditioning so bring a cold beverage if youre visiting in the dinner. Store cat in the window was adorable .Heard there was another one but never saw him. Owners very nice as well.

Review №57

Do not recommend going. Apparently owner has started cant call a dealer for offer unless over $100 and cannot even do 10% like every other antique store Ive been in all over the US. Some nice mid century pieces but Im sure the dealers are losing sales. We left and will probably never come back.

If nostalgia is what you want, nostalgia is what you will get in this unique store tucked away in the Homberg/Bearden area. It is larger than usual and carries many items (variety), but it is very pricey. Felix and Oscar, store mascots and feline siblings, are adorable!

Super cool store with all the right vintage looks that are not right now. And THE BEST customer service. I left behind a piece of a shelving unit I purchased. They tracked me down by the name on my credit card and an online search, called me to get my address, and mailed me the piece. I cant say enough great things about this place. Well be back the next time were in Knoxville.

This is a consignment thrift store. The beauty of consignment stores is that each booth holds different kinds of goodies. One booth might have an Elvis obsession while the next is all Felix the Cat collectibles. You never know what you might find, and the variety is great!

Not really sure how this place has gotten so many 5 star reviews. They all must of come from cat lovers. Let me start with the fact that I have revisited this store a number of times and have found many priceless pieces. But let me just say that I dread, like I literally sit in the car outside the shop and try to convince myself that there isnt anything inside thats worth having to go in for kinda dread, having to step foot into this building. Everytime I have gone it has reeked of urine and feces.the restroom is off the entrance and it is shared with the litter box. It smells of stale truckstop urine. My word....its enough to take your breath away. I hold my breath and try to sprint to the middle of the store when I go just to get past the initial shock of the pungent smell.its hot, musty and theres cat hair floating through the air. The cats are curled in and ontop of everything. By the time I get to the turn in the back of the store I have a shortness of breath, my nose and eyes are watery and my throat has began to swell. Its unfortunate that anyone that has any sensitivity or none at all has to endure such disgusting conditions. And how sad to see all those beautiful things being mistreated and uncared for. But maybe thats there gimmick to get you to buy to save them from this warehouse of cat fleas and asthma. 2 stars . 1 for great selection.1 for great sales gimmick. With the reviews they receive all mentioning how precious the cats are I guess its working. If you see someone in a hazmat suit pickingthe hair off the treasures going to waste.... its me.
