Curiosities

Four friends, one shared obsession.

Kaboodles started with Kim and three friends — four people, one shared obsession with vintage, antiques, collectables and the bizarre. Today we host 20 independent traders across two packed showrooms in the heart of historic Rochester.

Every aisle is a different story. Glassware and brass next to Pokemon cards next to mid-century furniture next to something you've never seen before and probably can't name. That's the point.

If you love rummaging, you'll lose an afternoon here. We promise.

A bit of everything.

Stock changes constantly — every visit's different. Here's the broad strokes.

Antiques
Furniture, china, brass, glassware
Vintage
Clothing, tins, signage, decor
Collectables
Records, books, militaria, ephemera
