Feather Your Nest

I enjoy stopping here and looking around this antique and collectible store. Each booth has interesting things to browse. I have taken some snapshots of a couple of the booths so that you can get a sense of the style of the store and some of the items available. I like just to walk around and see what they have without having anything in particular that I am looking to purchase. They have all sorts of vintage wares such as jewelry, some furniture, pictures, and several vintage clothing booths. All in all makes a nice shopping stop!

Got a text from my sister over the weekend saying she had spotted a photo of our brother Ned at Feather Your Nest. It was entitled "Picture of a Young Boy" and had an antique look about it. So, I raced over Sunday morning and found the photo and then found myself browsing what turned out to be a great antique store for the first time. Get in there if you haven't been! They have everything from childhood photos of my brother to an English Springer Spaniel art serving tray, to two vintage novelty neckties (Christmas theme and New York City theme). Or at least that's what followed me home! Brother Ned, if you're reading this...just know that if your boyhood photo ends up in an antique store, you just might be an antique yourself!!

One of the best kept secrets in Lexington is Feather Your Nest. This place is bursting with affordable antiques, collectibles and other knick-knack items. Originally, I went there to pick up some odds and ends jewelry items. I like the rhinestone broaches to use on facinators that I make for Derby and the Oaks. I picked up 3 for under $5 each. I also found a retro wedding facinator/hat/ veil item for under $12. I decided that I didn't need it on this adventure but there are so many other goodies there. One of the unique items i found was a creepy doll. To be fair, there are plenty of creepy dolls to be had if that is your jive. You can find old photos, glassware, clothing, costume jewelry, hats, books, decor and so much more. It usually takes me an hour our so to walk around each little area if I have something specific in mind.

It's becoming tougher to find real vintage and antique shops anymore; a lot of places are now focused on crafts, farmhouse chic decor, and newer items. Feather Your Nest is a pleasantly cluttered shop full of treasures. They have smaller furniture items, vintage holiday decor, tchotchkes, books. Lots of China and other dishes. Paintings and photos. One of my best finds from there were two craftsman rocking chairs that go great on my craftsman porch. Very reasonable price. The shop employees are nice, and will try to call a booth owner if you want to negotiate price. Most everything here is reasonably priced. Worth a stop.

Great selection of seasonal decor as well as vintage furnishings. The shop owner was very kind and helpful. They offer refreshments, and the shop is very well maintained! I will definitely return as often as possible. (Pic Below is a blow mold we purchased)

Everyone is wearing masks and social distancing. I love this place - I always dine one or two cute items. Most stuff is priced very well.

What a Lexington gem here! Had no idea how cool this place would be judging from the outside, and it is surprisingly spacious once inside. I love the layout here - so much to look at, enough room to walk around and incredibly inviting. It's a great place to find antique everything!..light fixtures, furniture, dish-ware, clothing, shoes, hats, jewelry, pottery, statues, picture frames, paintings, prints, license plates, house and barns tools..probably dated from the early 1900s onwards.. The best part about their inventory is that it seems to all be in great condition. You can tell they comb out the damaged and weathered items - which I always appreciate! - and it is displayed nicely. Whether you are looking for something rustic or fancy, you will find a great variety of Americana here. And the staff is sweeter than sweet tea. Love it!

This is a great place to check out for a wide variety of antiques at a variety of price points. There seems to be everything from vintage clothing and jewelry to plates and serving ware to antique farm equipment. If you want a unique piece check here. It can be a little cluttered and crowded feeling but not too overwhelming.

A great place to browse and shop. Lots of different vendors, one with lots of milk glass. Found quite a few fun knick knacks.

Cute little antique shop with friendly staff. Didn't buy anything, but it was nice to look around.
