This shop is a breath of fresh air. Shopping for family for the Holidays, there is a little something to be found for your middle aged brother or younger kids, to your older but still kicking parents. There is something to be found from every time period from now to well more than the last 100 years, that is sure to appeal to all ages. From clothes to souvenirs, dishes, books and record albums, to classic cameras that are in surprisingly workable shape. And more. The owner and curator is sure to surprise you with any questions you may ask regarding a relic and the time period it came from. For example I was quite impressed with her ability to demonstrate how a vintage 8mm film camera was still in good working order. I think if you're stuck on what to find for any aging family members, The Vintage Barn is certainly worth stopping in for your Christmas shopping needs.
Openly homophobic. If you're thinking of thrifting in Carthage, you might want to steer clear of The Vintage Barn. It's a cute little shop, but the owner had zero qualms about openly discussing her homophobia. We immediately left after I told her we don't tolerate homophobia and won't be back. She countered with, "Well, I'm a Christian", to which my response was, "as am I." She had the nerve to tell me I wasn’t acting like a Christian! This all stemmed from a commercial on the radio. A woman was discussing her and her wife renovating their kitchen and this woman felt the need to share that she missed the days "they didn't shove it in our faces". I wasn't really paying attention at first until she persisted. I said, "Excuse me?" She clarified with "What's wrong with a commercial with a woman and her husband? Why does it have to be a woman and her wife?”
All she had to do was keep her mouth closed. We were shopping and minding our own business and she started this interaction. Poor business practice indeed. We have shopped here a couple of times before but we won’t be back. I was brought up in a church that taught God loves us all.
I really like this place. When you walk through the door it is like entering into a new dimension. Its well organized with a plethora of items to pick through. The only thing it is missing are fossils.. Those are antique indeed. A unique shop.. a unique experience.
What a beautifully unique store. So many wonderful treasures it’s hard not finding something you’ll love (young and old) and want to bring home. Nothing like it in Moore county.
I have tried to visit this antique store 4 different days, all during store open hours and when it said open online also. Drove over an hour each time and it was closed each time. I will not make another special trip to go there!
LOVE THIS SHOP!!! In 2023, I was having my wedding, which was a 1970’s Hippie theme, and this shop had SO many goodies that I used as Wedding Decor! I then reused everything I got from here as home decor; and after recently going back, found a set of vintage Merry Mushroom Cannisters from Sears! This place is such a special gem…and the owner is as sweet as pie, and ready to carve out a great deal for people that stop by!
I absolutely love The Vintage Barn!!! Wall to wall treasures that can keep you busy for hours! The store owner, Anne, is wonderful and welcoming to everyone who walks through the door. Stop in, you will not be disappointed!!!
Note: open only on Friday and Saturday. Call before going if you have concerns!! I’m posting her business card on a picture.
Now to the fun stuff: How can you not LOVE this place! Greeted at the door by the owner, Ann, I was welcomed into a transformed atmosphere of fantasy combined colors and goods and wind from old fans and light that were so unusual but worked. A mix of new and old. A mix of color and light. If you are feeling a little down, visit the Vintage Barn! I swear you are transformed when you enter the door! There should be an entrance fee 🥰. There is every item from 1950 kitchenware to 1980 clothing to lace lounge wear! Lots of cowboy boots line the walls. Small furniture, clothing, purses, broaches, and cards! I can’t wait to return. My 16 year old son loves it too. He visited after a week of camp and purchased a carpenters belt to use with his leatherwork at camp. I really enjoy looking at her transformed items like a skirt turned into a lamp shade. What a unique store and unique owner. Love love love it!! She doesn’t price her items. The price is based on the item and the amount of items purchased. Go! Buy a lot!
Drive from Charlotte and because this Google page says you open at 11am on THURSDAY we came to shop. We get here and you are CLOSED! VERY DISAPPOINTED!!
Very chic, love everything about this store. From vintage clothing, cowboy boots and hats, antique decorations, lamps, etc., this has become my first stop for a place to buy personal gifts.
