What clients say about Charming But Cheap & Possibly Antique in Fleischmanns (NY)
Gwen was so helpful and nice. I came in on a very cold day and the heater was broken at her shop. Despite that, Gwen was very accommodating and showed me her wonderful and whimsical collection in every room. I found some nice treasures in her jewelry collection. Highly recommend visiting here and chatting with Gwen if you are in town!
Must try this place out!
The owner is retired (Gwen), she gave her service as an RN and now offers a whole house packed with hidden treasures something for all to pick through...
She is a very pleasant lady who has an anxious retriever ready to fetch.
But best of all they are opened Mondays afternoon( Unheard of)!
A whole house filled with all kinds of things, like home decor, kitchenware, lots of old books, some records, old tools. It’s like a Wow, places like this still exist? It’s lovely & comfortable, just enough chaotic to make it feel like you could discover something amazing. Reasonable prices too. The owner is very cool.
A gem of a place with great prices. The owner, Gwen, was absolutely delightful. So funny, witty and full of great stories. Really enjoyed chatting with her and look forward to returning.
Great spot for interesting old items. Everything from kitchen to books to records to tools to furniture to glassware to... you name it. The owner Gwen is great and her prices are better. The store is easy to spot going east on Route 28 just past Fleischman. If her OPEN flag is out she's there. She's open afternoons daily year round.
We stopped in out of curiosity, and we were so glad we did! Gwen, the owner, was a delight and so sweet. I found a beautiful sundress and my partner found a lovely decanter amongst her treasures. She chatted with us on the porch before we left and kindly bestowed a cutting of one of her beautiful plants to us! Absolutely pop by and have a look around if you have a moment.
If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. Great selection, great deals, and a wonderful owner. We spent most of our time chatting with her and her dog Libby. Brought home pictures, wooden frames, and coffee table books.
My husband and I love antiquing and came here during our honeymoon. There were so many fun, themed rooms to explore, full of treasures. Gwen is a delight - kind, generous, witty, and full of stories. Definitely one of the more memorable shops we have visited on the east coast. We hope to be back again!
Gwen's selection is fantastic and her prices are generous, but the best part was chatting with her after we checked out. My girlfriend and I were up from NYC on vacation and, on top of the dozen items we bought, we loved getting to know Gwen. I left with a beautiful piece of marble that I made into a side table for my apartment. We will return ASAP!
Absolutely don’t miss this shop! Charming definitely describes the house, the antiques and the owner. She was willing to negotiate and shared the history of the home. We will definitely be back!
Just bought a beautiful hutch from Gwen! She was so helpful when we were trying to fit it in our car! Fair price not only for the hutch but the entire store. A must see shop!
A must visit while in the area, not only for the vintage treasures that lie hidden in the shop, but for the hospitality offered by Gwen, the charming owner who has been there for over 30 years!! While she assures you this isn’t her home while you’re shopping, it sure feels like it thanks to her hospitality and warmth.
Prices are negotiable, but already fair. And there’s a wealth of books and household items you can discover just by walking around the shop.
Bonus, I enjoyed playing fetch with her dog while my wife rang up the plates she found. Looking forward to coming back when we come back to the area.
Most charming and authentique Antique place in the area. The owner Gwen is amazing and her dog Libby is the cutest. I highly recommend this place if you want to shop real antiques for great prices! Thank you Gwen!
I visited last week and Gwen was a pleasure to talk to! A really cool place with lots to explore. I had fun going through the different rooms and finding treasures. I ended up with a wall clock, small framed fish print and a framed glass bird art - all for very reasonable prices. The wall clock in particular is such a nice addition to my living room and I love how it chimes on the hour!
Had great fund picking through her finds. My wife absolutely enjoyed playing with libby the barely one year old labrador. Please don't stop bringing libby along with you! Went away with some interested books/magazines for a very good price. I recommend the place if you are looking for some vinyls as there are a TONNE of them. Some really old China and decors as well but weren't really my thing. You will have to pick through the stuff here but thats part of the fun.
If I could, I'd give this place 10 stars. The owner is the sweetest, most amazing woman I've met. I've gone multiple times and each time I find something new that I love, it helps that the stock is very consistently updated.
If you're looking for an antique shop, look no further.
The shop is so fun to walk through! You always find something new when you take a stroll through the store. The owner, Gwen, is such a pleasure to speak with! Sometimes I drop by just to speak to her! She’s incredible as well as her little puppy, Libby! Her dog is amazing. I would recommend this store to anyone coming into this area!
A rare find! All sorts of amazing collectibles and everyday items at such generous prices. Gwen is super friendly, interesting, accommodating and a welcoming host. You will feel right at home in her store and guaranteed to find an unexpected treasure at a price you can well afford! Stop by. You will be glad you did!
I go for the antiques as well as the pleasant conversations with Gwen and the tail wags from Mia. It's right off of route 28, so very convenient for Catskills residents or visitors. I found multiple items for a bargain that I will be using as centerpieces for my wedding (and then around my house).
The store is full of great bargains, and Gwen is delightful to chat with. This is a great place to spend an afternoon looking for books, furniture, glassware, pictures, clothing, toys, and other treasures. highly recommended.
Gwen, the owner, is as interesting as the store itself. My 7-year-old fell in love with her when she let him carry in some firewood in exchange for a keychain from the “kids’ room”. We walked out with an upholstered side chair, plastic binoculars and a newsboy cap, and will be back.
I've vacationed a lot in the area and I always come to this store. I've bought amazing items over the years including an antique cash register. This is a great antique store - be sure to visit all the different rooms.
We had a great visit and came away with a couple neat items for our cabin in the mountains. We'll be back to say hello and to search for more interesting stuff. Gwen and Mia are both sweet. Well worth the time to take a look.
Gwen knows her stuff and has so many unique items, prices are great and her dog Mia is so friendly and sweet. Come and chat, enjoy a great time browsing and finding some genuine treasures !
