Antique shops usually offer a fascinating glimpse into the past, whether back to our childhood or even to periods long before we were born. That’s part of why, even if I don’t have a ton of money to spend, I love just wandering through antique shops and uncovering treasures from yesteryear. If you’re like me and enjoy a good treasure hunt, spend some time exploring this antique shop in Richmond, Rhode Island. It even has a few surprises for those of us with a sweet tooth.

Even if you’re not on the hunt for anything in particular, you’re sure to find a few gems at Jules Antiques & General Store in Richmond. More than 70 dealers fill the 8,000-square-foot antique shop that’s tucked in a charming farm building. Carve out enough time for your visit, especially if you want to see everything, and wear comfy shoes because you’ll do a lot of walking.

Don’t worry if your weekends are packed with activities and errands. The antique shop is open seven days a week, and you might find it’s quieter during the week. Jules Antiques & General Store’s motto is “Where Old is New Again,” and you’ll understand why as you explore the dealer booths that feature everything from Christmas decorations and artwork to old-school toys (remember Hot Wheels?) and vintage furniture. You might even find some pretty cool vintage clothes.

Include a stop at the general store during your visit, especially if you have a sweet tooth. Try one of the old-fashioned sodas or stock up on your favorite old-school penny candies. Grab some coffee syrup, too, so you can add a touch of deliciousness – coffee milk – to your day. The general store is brimming with fun finds, including candles, soaps, apple butter, and jellies. You might even be lucky enough to score flavored, like salt and vinegar, popcorn.
