Betty's Antiques

I visited the shop for the first time on 11/19/23, then again on 12/10/23 when I heard that the shop's owner was going to be putting up more miniatures for sale. This is a darling little shop, and much more easier to browse than other antique shops are crammed to the point of bursting. This is a great shop to buy little trinkets at reasonable prices, and the owner is very kind. Parking: free on-street parking

Walking in the area late Wednesday morning, I found this shop's front door open. I stopped to take a closer look at some white china plates that were perched on a small table on the sidewalk and was greeted by the shop owner, Liz. I went inside to take a look around.The building is well maintained and the items inside were nicely curated and arranged in this relatively small shop. Liz was welcoming and friendly, chatting with customers while they browsed. Prices on items seemed reasonable. There is an outside patio, a courtyard really, where more items are displayed for sale.Liz opened her shop in late June 2023 after collecting pieces over the years. She used to work at Missouri Mouse Antiques, a long-standing antique shop a few blocks further west on Selby Ave.I enjoyed my browsing experience. It was easy to move around and everything I was interested in finding out a price HAD a price tag on it. That's always nice. Everything also seemed clean, not dusty or dirty.When I asked, she does not sell items on consignment. However, she's open to buying items in order to sell them in her shop. I look forward to stopping in from time to time to see what's new!
