Nostalgia Antique and Thrift - Ely, MN


Killer mix of antique and thrift . . . a new Must Stop for me in Ely . . .  

FINALLY this place was open!  Nostalgia was frustratingly locked up my first two trips near Ely.  This year fortunately we were up at family camp in June instead of mid-late August, and while talking to the owner, found out that he's been closing down in early August   

There's a LOT to love about Nostalgia on the main drag of downtown Ely.  A mixture of collectables, oddball items, art, and antiques . . . but not quite veering into hoity toity fancy schmancy pinky-up when you drink tea antiques.  Prices are super reasonable, and if you can't find SOMETHING here you'd like or need, you probably suck 

Down a short set of stairs is a mostly vintage clothing area . . . 


Leading to the truly thrift area in the back . . . 

There's also a respectable music area . . . 

We found some treasures.  Among others, Care Bear figures, and a set of four pristine Pizza Hut Care Bear glasses from 1983.  They'd probably been sitting in some old ladies display case for 40 years, and at $18, we couldn't buy them fast enough  :D
