It's been years since I've seen this place, and it's still an antique vintage mecca! We're in the tiny town of Smiths Grove, Kentucky, where most of the 1910s buildings now host antique and vintage collectors from all over. Is it still everything I remember?
A new generation of resellers in freshly converted shops are making this a fun place to find vintage clothing, MCM furnishings and even sports cards, offering everything from Italian chairs and Spanish faience ware to signed jerseys and balls! We miss out on a great 1970s Sheesham screen, but the VitaMix for $15 in working order might just make up for it. We poke our head into closeout sale at an old storage/shop space that's too full to see through, then head on to the town's main anchor store.
Main Street Antique Center is still the town's antique anchor, the shop I remember from my visit long ago. Really finely carved and inlaid 19th and 20th century furniture holds displays of Gone with the Wind lamps and Moon-and-Stars pieces, but it's the extensive display of great Bradley and Hubbard cast iron and brass ware from the late 19th & early 20th century that rival the best we've seen anywhere.
What a fun and shop this is! Mezzanines hold quaint quilts and a great 1950s western chenille, along with great deals on 1950s cookie jars, children's furniture (even a horn chair) and a fine Fenton lamp, while the newly opened basement gives us a chance for a therapeutic rest on a great MCM daybed. Vibrant vintage advertising, a collection of salt dips, old card decks and a fun array of other antique and vintage smalls remind us why this mall is such a great stop-and how it's keeping this tiny burg a big destination for serious collectors.
