Yesterday's Treasures

Yesterday's Treasures is a thrift store in Fenton, Michigan, owned and operated by the mother-daughter team of Sue Olson and Stacy Mielcarek. Both are knowledgeable in antiques, vintage items, and collectibles, and the shop has served customers since it was established in 1998. Merchandise turns over steadily, so the selection is fresh on every visit. The store carries a collection of vintage jewelry, and Sue or Stacy can share its history with shoppers. Categories include architectural pieces, bracelets, brooches, china, earrings, furniture, hardware, jewelry, kitchenware, lighting, necklaces, pottery, purses, hats, and clothing, along with stemware and glass. Past offerings have included solid brass "Arabic" antique doorknobs, antique brass oval doorknobs and escutcheons in a "Clam Shell" pattern, and an antique green and purple stained glass transom. The shop holds a rating of 4.40 from customer reviews.

The store sits at 300 S Leroy St in downtown Fenton. Fenton City Hall is steps away, as are the Fenton City Police Dept. and the A. J. Phillips Museum, home of the Fenton Historical Society. The Fenton Post Office is nearby, and the Stainless Steel Butterfly public artwork is close by as well. The shop is about two miles east of US-23 and nine miles west of I-75, and people travel from a distance to shop there.
