There are beautiful wooden tables, cabinets with faded or peeling paint (truly shabby), and accessories reminiscent of Mom&#8217;s or Grandma&#8217;s house. Clean and comfortable might describe this store which is open Fri-Sat 9-5 and Sunday 12-4.  If you want more choices in the northwest suburbs, try 2 Birds Antique Emporium (not far from Osseo off 85th St) or The French Flea in Anoka; both are open this weekend.
