This is the other location of Armstrong's. We've been to the other store many many times on First Friday, but we wanted to check this one out too. So, my friend and I went over there, kind of in an obscure location (the parking lot is the entrance- kind of odd). I don't think we would've found it on our own- good thing we got some help by the owner- she walked us through one alley and then we went to another- I know, it sounds bad. It was empty though, the alleys. This one is much smaller, much more organized, and not dusty at all. Items are usable, not junky. Very nice setup. I like that most things were grouped together- so much easier to navigate. I also did not get the feeling that I would break things if I bumped into something, either. BTW The owner told us that prices are negotiable. We saw lots of neat things- red goblets at $2 a piece, what a deal (I don't need anything for my kitchen though). My friend wanted a closer look at some things (glass covered case)- the owner was nice about showing her things. Jewelry was a little higher but since the owner said "prices are negotiable" I urged my friend to ask "What's the best price you can give me for this peridot necklace?" It was marked $70. First, she said, "$50." And my friend replied, "Will you take $45?" So, great deal for a pretty piece- has two chains (I don't usually see that- I'm a bit of a jewelry enthusiast). I was happy for my friend, because she's always searching for jewelry, but nothing really caught her eye at the other places. The owner said that she gets many pieces from the auction house and that it is open to the public. We told the owner we would come there first next time for First Friday, since she closes early (she told us that she doesn't get much traffic compared to the other store on Main)- she was nice enough to walk us there and reopen for us, specifically (the other store owners called her- they are family). And since we know that prices are not set in stone, it's certainly worth coming here, now isn't it?
