Lamb’s Tail Antiques

Went out today for first time. It was worth the drive out. This store has treasures I don’t think you will find anywhere else. They have new stuff weekly. I will be a regular here. This is a hidden gem! I hear in summer even more stuff. If you go in winter dress warm cause in old barn no heat… Connect with them on FB they list all their new stuff weekly and u can call and buy and they will hold.

The shop is cute. But do not try to place a custom order. I called since we are gutting our very large pantry and would like to work with someone to create a design out of repurposed pieces. I spoke to a woman who said «all orders go through me.» We were not allowed to speak to the person who builds the pieces and were just asked to submit something in writing. Very strange — unfortunately we will not be back to the shop. In this day and age, I am shocked by this type of customer treatment.

I can’t believe that only one other person has reviewed this shop, but she is right. This is my favorite antique/​gadget shop. I love going in the spring when she has all kinds of things made out of other things in the yard and shows you how to put together vingettes for your yard. I also love her Christmas sale where you can get FRESH greens for $ 7 a bunch. So much better than English Gardens and SO MUCH CHEAPER. I bought a hand-​made jacket at the Christmas bazaar for $ 25! Even after I got it altered for $ 35, the total price of $ 60 was WAY cheaper than I would have paid for this jacket in a store. This is a GREAT place with so many hand-​made items that I have no problem urging everyone to go. I know you’ll be glad you did. She is only open until March on the weekends by appointment. Romeo also has numerous other antique shops which are great and probably the most beautiful knit shop I’ve ever been to. A nice trip to the country.

This is the most adorable antiques shop in the whole world.
Yesterday, I bought a weathered picture frame, a box that said «Misc.,» and a sign that said FROLIC for $ 60ish. YES. WHAT. That’s amaze-​balls.
The shop is situated in a barn (which shares space with, but does not coincide with, some goats) and the shopping experience is like wandering through a maze of awesome.
If you’re ever remotely in the area (not likely, but hey) stop by for Michigan’s best selection of shabby-​chic goods. You won’t be disappointed in the selection, the quality, or the prices. It’s the best antiquing unless you make your way through the miles of tents at the Michigan Antique Fair in Midland.
Also, the owner clearly loves what she does and lives adjacent to her store. You don’t get much more down-​home friendly than that.
