Don’t come here for obscure poetry reading. Come here looking for the unique, creative and unusual for your home. The Sleepy Poet Antique Mall is a huge flea market for your home. Inside there are lots of individually operated booths filled with old (some very old) cool stuff for decorating your home or yourself. Vintage chandeliers, funky lamps, fur coats, asian bird cages, letters written in 1958, Beetles albums, Coca Cola signs, old telephones, leather chairs, dining room tables, iron gates, women’s hats, artwork and some stuff you won’t know what exactly it is. Located on South Blvd near Woodlawn Rd in Charlotte, the Sleepy Poet could be the source of a one-of-a-kind treasure for your home, the beginning of a halloween costume or just an afternoon of entertainment. No admission charge makes it even better. Open 363 days a year (Give them a break for closing on Christmas and Thanksgiving).

Shhhh. Don’t spread the word too far. The Sleepy Poet is a Charlotte insider secret.
