Antiques Within & Abbey’s Too

I cannot decide if I was completely underwhelmed by this place simply because of the fact that I went to La Maison right before hand (La Maison knocks this place outta the park) or if it was the employees that work here. My husband and I wandered around Antiques & Abbeys for a good 20 minutes– all the while not one sales person paid us any attention. Normally I wouldn’t mind, but they were sure paying attention to everyone else inside the place.
Regardless, there were a few cute things– I spotted a couple of coffee tables and some leather chairs with wood frames that were pretty awesome. The price tags were a little pricey– especially seeing as everything was hugely discounted. Antiques and Abbeys was having a moving sale. Where are they moving to? No clue. Since no one would approach us, we couldn’t ask a sales person. Sad really, cuz I was interested in seeing this place when it was fully stocked and in its new location. There were no signs stating where the relocation would be, regardless I was so underwhelmed by the experience all together I doubt I’ll be going back. Word to the wise– don’t prejudge your clientele. You just may end up alienating some loyal customers. Antiques and Abbeys definitely had some things I would have purchased.

Antiques Within and Abbey’s Too is a favorite with me. I’m a sucker for armoires and old apothecary pieces, and Antiques Within has a great showroom filled with custom furniture and rustic looking benches, chairs, sideboards and buffets. They also stock some great oil paintings and wallcoverings.
I really love Abbey’s Too as I go crazy for monogrammed or personalized items. Abbey’s has a huge selection of baby items, bags, bathrobes and other linens that are just waiting to have my initial sewn in. They also carry frames, soaps, pottery and dried flower arrangements.
