Do you have a knack for finding a needle in a haystack? Test your skills at Miss Pixie’s, a trove of second-hand treasures ranging from vintage farm tables to funky lamps. All items are bought at auction, not consigned or individually donated. New truckloads arrive every Wednesday and the original motto of “stack it deep and sell it cheap” continues more than 20 years after Miss Pixie’s opened.
