I'm a sucker for antique shops. No I'm not your grandma but they're fun to look at and some of the…read morestuff your grandma used to have is pretty neat! I've been here once before and it is a pretty large building with two levels. There is a wide variety of items to choose from. I didn't buy anything this last time but I think the time before I bought a necklace. I usually look for small items because I'm flying back to Austin and can't lug that china set I'd really love to have. In the winter the 2nd level can get pretty chilly so bring a jacket. There is something for everyone here, so you should definitely check it out!

My wife and I have been coming to Tom & Audrey's for years. This place is huge! There are two…read morefloors and between the two floors there has to be at least 45,000 Sq Ft. If you are into glassware, dinnerware, glass & ceramic dinner bells and crystal, this is the place to be. If you are trying to find that old dinnerware set your mom had, there is a good chance they have it. If not, you will definitely find something close. A true haven for the glass collector. Audrey works hard at keeping the store very, very well organized and very, very clean and very competitive pricing. This is a "must take a detour and stop in" to visit Audrey! She is a very friendly owner.

Riverfront Antiques and Grandma Nell's are adjacent to one another with an adjoining door between…read morethem. Grandma Nell's, to me, is more like a boutique (without the clothing), kind of upscale, where Riverfront Antiques is an actual antique store. Riverfront Antiques to me is more of a classic antique store. Everything from larger furniture, to vendor booths with smalls, to an upstairs room with crusty, dusty, and rusty items. It's well organized and while I didn't buy anything here it's a place I could see checking in on once in a while if I was in the area... I imagine inventory changes now and then with each vendor. The one thing I didn't like. The woman at the counter was on the phone from the minute I walked over from Grandma Nell's to the time I walked out the door to exit Riverfront Antiques. And I was in there for quite a while... I didn't try to listen so it very well could have been a business call. It's just a pet peeve I have so it's something I notice. Like if I'm at the counter at Dunkin' and they are taking care of the people in the drive through first while I'm standing there. Like... Hey! I'm right here! Maybe at least acknolwedge a guy? Hopefully it was just a one off while I happened to be there... From an antiquing standpoint... Definitely worth the time to stop if you are in the Clinton IA area!

This was by far my favorite stop of our July 4th weekend adventure. It was the one I bought the…read moremost at anyway... Lol The gentleman who was on staff Saturday is the son of the owner. Very personable and friendly. I had a great time just visiting with him even if I hadn't bought anything. The shop is an old Victorian style house (supposedly haunted...see pic of article from the Gateway). The first and second floors are laid out like a typical house. Each room showcasing a selection of merchandise. There are some locked cases on the first floor you will need to ask staff to unlock. Typical setup as any other antique shop. I found some old vintage pocket knives that had belonged to the current owner's husband that I was able to buy at a very reasonable price and a Keen Kutter pocket knife that was a little more expensive... There was a Keen Kutter Kutlery display case upstairs that I would have loved to have taken home... ! It was pretty big, we had no room, and it was $400. The selection of items here ranges from retro, some modern, to vintage or antique. Clothes, hard goods, some larger furniture, and a lot of smalls... You definitely get a kind of creepy vibe on the second floor, but not that much different than any other old home from that era... My maternal grandparents lived in a very similar house. The upstairs always seems strangely quiet to where you hear every creak and groan of the aging construction, you hear the wind when it's blowing, and the temp varies from downstairs and from room to room. We didn't meet "Helen"...and I'm okay with that.

I bumped into this great little country antique shop on one of my weekend wanderings around Galena…read more Although the mailing address is Elizabeth, the store is actually located in central Schapville, a small village between Elizabeth and Scales Mound. And not to easy to find, I may add. There are lots of unmarked divergent paths out here in the boonies! So just keep an open mind and an adventuresome spirit. Schapville is so small that there are only two "stores," this one and the pop machine next door. When I arrived, I was greeted by a very friendly old dog named Stanley. This is a seasonal business, so you need to come between May and October. The store is a beautifully renovated old grange space used by area farmers. It offers a selection of fine antiques, and a nice array of same on two floors, a cooler with local cheeses (they were featuring one of my favorites that day-Iowa Maytag Bleu.) There is soda, homemade jams and jellies and other condiments, and fresh eggs from the owner's chickens. There is kind of an overall chicken theme going on here, just short of chicken worship, I would stay. The owner, Donna, is a fun and interesting person to chat with. Free fresh popcorn, too. There's a wood stove with a fire near the front and a seating area which is very inviting. Definitely a must-stop in Jo Daviess County if you are looking for a nice little jaunt out of Galena, or doing a day trip in the area east of The Galena Territory. The scenery is superb.

This was a fun stop…read more But I'm going to give it to your straight here... Warning: If you have issue with the heat DO NOT go here on a hot day! Like on a July 4th weekend like we did... 90+ degrees on the Saturday we stopped by Mississippi Marketplace. It's a large space and only one small closed off section has AC. They do run large fans throughout the space and offer free complimentary bottles of water. I could feel sweat start to bead up on me within a couple of minutes of walking in and it didn't get much better... Basically the space is a large open machine shed with rows of vendor booths. The row layout is aimilar to many other antique/vendor malls. With no lower ceiling the power bill to run AC to cool the place down would probably be a small fortune... My best guess is it's an even split between antique or vintage items and modern new items. I got a couple of great deals here... An old vintage fire extinquisher. Cleaned up these go for $250 online. The vendor had it priced at $70 and was running a 50% sale. So $35... I can put some elbow grease into it... It will be a great addition to my collection. A rough 12 inch vintage Wagner cast iron pan for $20. It's worth that all day long. I'll strip it and reseason it. The staff here is fantastic! Great interactions with them! There are some locked cases you will need them to access, but the vast majority of items can just be picked up and taken to the front. Definitely worth the time to stop! But I'll reinterate... If you don't deal with heat well plan this visit on a nicer day than we did...!

The building is loaded with individually owned, displayed and priced units. Some of them are time frames, some of them are theme booths while others are hodgepodge. There are lots of "Remember these?" and "What do you do with that?" Fun Fun Fun The only drawback for me was the building was cold. I can only imagine what it will feel like in cold weather.

It is a family run shop, they are so nice and friendly. I am so happy to write this review for a shop I really enjoy. I wish it were closer to home. I always stop there if I am out that way or returning from somewhere farther out. Also if you go in the nice weather, they have a pretty garden to admire out back behind the building.

It's a typical antique mall style setup with booths belonging to different owners so you will find anything and everything. Not just glassware. The main part of the store is kind of an L shape with a small room cut out on the center that showcases a large display/selection of uranium glass... Probably the biggest collection I've ever seen all in one spot. It's truly impressive. Prices once again vary with the vendors. Some items are high, some are at market, and there are some good deals to be found too. I took home a black glass flower stem frog. I collect different ones of these and use them as pen holders etc. on my tables at home and my desk at work. Definitely not what they were designed for, but it's how I repurpose them...! If you're into thrifting and antiquing... Make sure Ancient Dragon Antiques is on your list if you are in the Clinton IA area!
