A while ago, a couple of people requested that I write down the places I go to for antiques when I go to St. Augustine. This past week, my fiance and I vacationed in St. Augustine and had the opportunity to stop in at my usual places. I was sure to foursquare them so I could know where they all were. It was also Matt's first real time exploring St. Augustine. I think he really enjoyed his time there!
So, here is my list. There are a few places that I omitted. I only recommended the places that I personally go to often and actually buy from. If you know of a place in the area that I should check out, be sure to write it in the comment section. I'd love to check it out!
Out There Antiques
Just as the name states, it is a bit out there. The drive isn't so bad though. It's near the airport. When we were there this last time jets were flying over to practice for the upcoming air show so that was pretty cool. There are over 40 dealers in the 6,000 square foot space. We've bought quite a few pieces of milk glass there, as well as the cameras shown in the picture. The prices are very reasonable and the owner is great!

Designer's Etc
Bought a couple of awesome purses here for $1. Seriously. It's touch and go though, sometimes they have great stuff, sometimes they don't.

Anastasia Antiques
I don't think I have actually bought anything here yet, but it's definitely always one of my stops when I am junkin' (coined by Aaron Draplin). They have a lot of glassware, and it's it color coded which is a feast for my eyes. Soooo prettyyyyy. If you hear what sounds like a hostess announcing over the intercom that so and so's table is ready, don't worry, you're not going crazy. O'Steen's Seafood restaurant is next door. This is apparently a pretty popular restaurant and there is usually a long line to get a table so the antique store and restaurant apparently partnered up. Thus, you can shop while you wait for your table. I've eaten there before, it's great but I am not sure why the hype is about. Oh, and the restaurant is cash only.
Address:
201 Anastasia Boulevard
Hours:
Sunday and Monday | 12 pm - 5 pm; Tuesday and Wednesday | 12 pm - 6 pm; Thursday - Saturday | 11 am - 6 pm
St. Vincent DePaul Society Thrift Shop
Two words: orange couch. This place isn't exclusive to St. Augustine. There are St. Vincent DePaul thrift stores throughout the county. I always find milk glass here at great prices. And yes, there is where I got the orange couch. They have a warehouse in the back of even more stuff that hasn't been placed out yet. If you ask, they will sometimes let you stroll through there. Cash only here.
Address:
19 Mc Millan Street
Hours:
Monday - Saturday | 10 am - 5 pm
St Augustine Antique Emporium
This is a new place a I recently came across so I've only been there once. They have over 33 dealers under one roof. I remember they had a lot of cool stain glass pieces. They also had some cool, old cameras. The prices were decent as well.
Address:
62 San Marco Avenue
Hours:
Monday - Saturday | 10:30 am - 5:30 pm; Sunday | 11:30 am - 5:30 pm
Goodwill
Let's face it. There are a lot of elderly people in Florida. Their stuff usually ends up at Goodwill.
