On Jarrettsville Pike Rd in Monkton, MD, there is a little place in front of the Royal Farms on that same road, and it may seem hidden at first. B & B Antiques does not shine bright by itself, one may not even notice its presence.

Once standing in front of the store, however, the variety of products displayed outside is what brings customers in. Milkcrates, fruit crates, benches, garden signs, beautiful chairs, among other antique items, and their scatter shows the start of B & B, and why it contains a 4.4 rating on Facebook.

Inside the store, a beautiful and wide collection of vintage earrings, rings, necklaces, watches, and bracelets, are right on the corner. B&B sells homemade honey as well!

Kitchenware can also be found there, wonderfully painted ceramics, creatively designed mugs, clay pots, and even lamps with innovative art carefully drawn on them. Even matching mugs, which can be gifted to a valentine! Furthermore, which may be the coolest thing in the store, there is an entire display just for pen enthusiasts. High-quality, old working pens are sold there.

While browsing, store employees are not stereotypically nosey and do not watch their customers look around, and if one asks a question, they will answer gladly. Keep in mind, however, that the staff is not the friendliest. Not a ton of smiles will be shown, but the homey feeling of the shop will give anyone all the warmth they need! The welcoming and cozy atmosphere in the store does not fail to contrast with the many items, that could be argued as cramped up in there.

Haley Shoemaker, Senior, looked at the gallery of pictures on the store’s website. Shoemaker said, “that’s actually so cute. I like how it’s a little shop. I would so go just to check it out and see what all they have,” explains the student.

In agreement with Shoemaker, Hannah Williams, Senior, explains, “I would go there. It’s always a cool thing to go to an antique store and just see what is there because you never know what you are going to find.”

With a little of everything, B&B Antiques displays intriguing paintings, good quality frames, glass jars, and even little angel miniatures just for decoration.

For the readers there are even books, ranging from horses and photography to The Civil War.
