The Second Hand Rose

If you’ve been driving past this place for years without stopping in like I had, make time to at least look around inside. There are some really rare and interesting things.

A lotta bit of everything. One of the better antique stores I’ve been to in a while. Not much high end stuff, although there is some, but just a busy store with a wide variety.

Lots of really cool stuff!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! My teenagers LOVE to go there and just look through all the stuff. The prices range from SUPER cheap to maderatly expensive for very antique things but there is so much to look at and something for everyone. It is a bit close quarters and they are only open fri-​sunday but we love this place and have found many treasure here!

LOVE this place! my new favorite antique store. this place is jam packed with REAL vintage pieces at fair prices, i could spend days in there going through everything! the owners were super nice as well, and the shop cat was adorable. will be making another trip down there to pick up some of those medical books i found!

JAM PACKED floor to ceiling full of junk, I mean antiques!
Be ready to set aside anywhere from 2 hours to 2 days to rummage through everything because they make sure of every drawer they have. Everything but the cat is for sale.
There’s nothing I love more than an antique store that let’s you haggle them down hassle-​free.
I couldn’t really find anything I liked, as the prices were too crummy to bother haggling down or the antiques weren’t quite my taste. At least the husband-​and-​wife team are pretty amiable, they even set out cookies like they’re expecting house guests!

Lots of cool stuff inside and lots of cool rusty stuff on the outside. I like antique stores but I never seem to buy anything. They have things that are cool but not anything I really need. This place had a lot of fun stuff but it wasn’t cheap. We were surprised at some of the prices but we don’t really understand the whole antiques scene. I guess if it is «collectable» then they can charge what they want and someone will pay it. The people are nice and I think will negotiate on prices to get a sale.

I’ll go just about anywhere for a good antique store. The store is so crammed with things that it’s always different when you go in. they have a wonderful shop cat and are flexible on the prices. Definitely one of the best antique stores in Western Washington.

While I almost never go to Yelm, the Second Hand Rose is a good reason to start making an exception to that rule. This place is jam-​packed, inside and outside with a wide variety of antiques — real stuff, not 1980s «collectibles.» Some of the more rare and historic stuff is expensive, but be serious, it’s like 100 years old. Those things are probably worth the price tag, just not to me. I have managed to find some delightful mid-​century items at very fair prices. The staff is very friendly, and they have good stories — only some of which are about antiques. They always seem to know where next weekend’s best antique show is going to be, so if you want to get into the antique show circuit, this can be a good place to start. This is easily one of my favorite stores to wander through.
