A little retail therapy can do wonders for the mind and body. Whether you have the winter blues or are feeling the effects of late summer doldrums, finding an out of the way place to browse a wide selection of items can really calm the spirit and set things on a better path again. Such is the case at Antiques & Artisans Village in Summerville, South Carolina. With over 175 vendors and consignors, this Charleston area antique mall and local art depot has such a wide variety and large amount of inventory, you could stow away in here for hours on end.
You can start with their hand-crafted local items like the painted tissue box covers, bird houses, and flower pots that depict scenes from the Lowcountry. You just may want to collect them all!
The store itself is enormous, as each vendor lays out a wealth of items that are vintage, antiques, up-purposed, rustic, primitive, Victorian, shabby chic, and more.
And since the vendors are constantly adding new inventory, that means you can return again and again to browse all the added items since your last visit.
You'll discover furniture from yesteryear in a number of styles. And right now, there's a vendor with a large number of reclaimed church pews. One of these would look perfect inside your front door!
