Tina’s One Stop Shop

late getting to this review. Love this place! Had time to kill in Sac on Dec. 28 2015 and always want to hunt for antiques etc. This is a great place to hunt! Very nice staff and great prices! Have to go back, way to much to see in one trip!

There’s SOOOO Many things like so many my inner self was screaming of excitement! More items than clothes but they have so many options when it comes to pot and pans and house little things, you’ll be here a while if you like to look at things like me! I scored on a $ 10 purse that is so cute! I can’t even find a purse this cute at higher end stores! Will be back and bring my mom she will be here for hours!

Fun Vintage Store With Lots Of Random Finds!
SITREP
Bambi & I were traipsing through Midtown after a delicious stop on Rick’s Dessert Diner (another review coming up!), and we happened upon this new spots neither of us had explored before.
THE SETUP
Tina’s falls somewhere in between a full-​on antique shop and a flea market. There are some pretty impressive pieces of art and kitschy Americana to be found here. However, if you need a great 70s blender, some old 45s, some nice pieces of faux-​china or Disney set of glasses, you can get some cool stuff here.
This is not like a Home Depot or Best Buy, for example, where you are going to find consistent level/​quality/​pricing on items or even categories of items every time you stop by. The merchandise is CONSTANTLY turning over, so you are going to have to stop by to catch what you may want. Once that Peter-Paul-&-Mary 45 is gone, it’s gone!
MERCHANDISE VARIETY!
There was so much to see and (possibly) get! I have to mention that the pricing here is extremely reasonable, many things you can acquire at a low garage-​sale price:
* Wicker Baskets! (They are outside the front door and the first see you see!)
* Croquet anyone? There was a nice set there!
* China Lamps
* China Cup Flowers
* Sand Pails! Playing in the sand with Mickey & Minnie!
* Dragons!
* Wigs!
And so many many other items! Check it out!
ART
Bambi focused on the art and acquired some interesting pieces ($ 10 each!) where she was actually more drawn to the frames themselves, so I anticipate on a future visit to her place seeing the piece of art gone, and another piece of art — or a picture in that frame.
CAT
I found an awesome tri-​dish for only $ 3 that I purchased for my Pocket-​Panthers Jack & Bobby so they have something specific for their crunchy & soft kitty treats.
This works out great for me, so I don’t have to re-​task either their food dish or their water dish for that purpose. That’s the $ 3 price tag in the middle bowl in my picture below!:
THE LOWDOWN
Tina’s One Stop Shop has some delightful kitschy items at garage-​sale prices!

I just picked up two new pyrexes here I like to use for baking. They have the nice vintage ones for about 3 – 4 bucks. I love collecting them because they’re great in the oven. I didn’t see that the smaller one was scratched but oh well. It makes for a great candy dish as well. (I’m weird about heating the old corningware stuff when it has the grey scratches on it.) All in all I have found many treasures here and they are always reasonably priced if not super cheap.

Great place! I found several items for my new house. I especially love the hall tree I purchased. The staff is always very friendly. They even delivered my furniture for only $ 5. They have a great selection from small to large items and things go quickly! It’s a little cramped like most antique stores but definitely worth it.

Nope, I can’t say I’m a fan of this antique shop in midtown.
Over the last few years I’ve been in several times. I like to give local businesses like this a chance to redeem themselves. I tell myself I just caught them on a bad day. I consider maybe they’ll get some great antiques tomorrow, or maybe they just sold the really cool stuff. I think maybe I’ve just caught the owner on a bad day and she’s usually a nice person and cares about her customers and the quality products she sells. I like to think that the outside of the building has a quaint look (when it really looks more like Sanford and Son!). Then I realize, I’ve given this place plenty of opportunities, and it’s time to Unilocal about it!
I’m sure I’ll browse through plenty more times, but between the McDonalds glassware and other «antiques», it looks more like a swap meet crammed into someone’s garage.
…but maybe Tina’s One Stop Shop will prove me wrong one of these times, and when that happens, I will gladly rate it higher.

Love this place! I picked up a dozen vintage, prohibition era cocktail glasses here for less than $ 10! The next day, I stopped by to check out their antique mirrors to replace the one in our bathroom during a light remodel, and I found exactly what I was looking for for $ 35… this was no cheap, simple wood or cheap plastic framed POS that you might find from Ikea for twice that price… no, this is a monster of a mirror with an ornately carved solid wood frame with a silver painted antique mirror in perfect condition. Suuuwweeeettt! I think I lucked out because it was actually still in the truck that Tina? was unloading, so it was a primo pick. A lot of the stuff in the back is bleh, but the glassware and dishes are really well organized here and they have a great selection. They don’t have a lot of furniture, but what they do have seems to be well picked and their prices are really quite reasonable. Tina seems to have a good knowledge of the stuff that comes into the store, although I can see how her no nonsense and possibly sometimes gruff demeanor might have upset some of my fellow Unilocalers… but hey, this isn’t Sotheby’s! Browsing at Tina’s is one of my favorite Sunday afternoon activities in Midtown.

I drop into this place often. There prices are really unbeatable (I don’t think Ive ever seen anything over $ 80) and the fact that’s it’s a bit cramped and disheveled only adds to the experience for me. It’s like going on a treasure hunt.

I love walking around and looking at everything in Tina’s. It’s like wandering into someone’s garage that has accidentally been left open and you’re not supposed to be there.
If you find something you like — buy it immediately, or you will never be able to find it again. Tina has so much inventory that different pieces of large furniture often block access to some of the rooms in the back completely.
Over the years, I have found beautiful sets of wine glasses, Time Life magazines from the 60s, Herb Alpert records, a serving tray commemorating the marriage of Charles and Diana, and an amazing gilded mirror with a horse painted on it.
If you come here expect a damn mess but take your time looking because there are gems to be found. They are mixed in with the fake antiques. And whatever you do, be nice to Tina. She comes off as surly but is willing to bargain if you pay with cash.
