vintage vinyl records in Pulaski County with new additions added all the time, so there is always something new every time you come in.
There are a lot of household items and glassware as well as record players, antique radio, trunks, framed artwork, jigsaw puzzles and even a working traffic light.

“ We have a lot of regulars, a lot of older people who are happy to have somewhere in Nancy to shop. I try to keep good prices they can afford," said Melinda.“ And we bring things in every day so you never know what you’ re going to find since the last time you were here. I always say it’ s a little bit of a treasure hunt in here.”
One of those regulars is 86-year-old doll collector
