"This is a great antique mall in downtown seattle, right near the market. teresa & i discovered this place a while back when she scored a few great pieces including a bench, toile chair & gold mirror. they keep a little bit of everything & the shop owner is very helpful. while most of the stuff they carry is great, i especially love their estate jewelry & mid-century rooms. there is an abundance of old photography which is always fun to go through, as well as a lot of great milk glass & ceramics."
