So cute! I love vintage stores and happened to see not only 1 but 2 stores with over 1,000+ feet of…read morestuff in each! (They are in the same strip mall but there's a gym between them). Staff was very lovely and so were some of the booth owners I ran into. What a gem! Would recommend.

Update: Monona Antiques expanded this past year to TWO stores!…read more Now there is a second store expansion in the same strip mall, one space down from the original space. The second store has a new vibe with almost entirely new vendors. They have rooms, bookshelves, unique vendor displays and a big variety of vintage and antique goods from jewelry, glass, electronics, cast iron, Tupperware, Pyrex, holiday decor and more. Definitely go visit Monona Antiques and Monona II!

This place was SUPER cool, they have a really nice social media presence. Very fun posts, so I was…read morepretty sure this place would be equally as exciting. And man oh man. The walls and shelves are stacked high. The candies have varying items so it was a high variety or items, which I loved. I got myself a good amount of 90's and MCM items. Which I didn't expect so far out of Dane County. But I was super surprised! The prices were very mixed. But not outrageous. This place was all together a great stop! I'd make the drive to Fort just for this! Ha!

Habitat for Humanity Restore is this crazy shop. It has so much of all kinds of everything:…read moreconstruction, furniture, electrical related items, etc., etc., that it's almost hard to imagine. This shop is stocked full of so much stuff, it is amazing. If you're looking to furnish your home with vintage chest of drawers, desks, lamps, and a little bit of everything else, this is an incredible place to find it. If you're redoing your home, your office, your studio, or any other place, and you want to add some really truly unique elements to it, this is the place to go. When I say this business has all kinds of unique everything, I am not exaggerating. It's really an adventure to go inside. Because you never know what you will find. It's really fun! The moment you walk in the door of this business you'll be hit with a visual cornucopia of a little bit of everything. They have paintings, artwork, glassware, you name it... I cannot articulate the amount of truly unique stuff they offer, because they really have a lot. Of course, the staff here are always happy to help you out. But, in a lot of ways, you don't even need them, because all you have to do is go and find that unique something, grab it, pay for it, and you're out the door. Overall, this is one of those truly unique businesses that I recommend to anybody who is ever in the area. It's really a very fun viewing and shopping experience.

Actually, not much went well. I'll take the hit. I knew when I walked in there it wasn't what I was…read morelooking for. Just the same I thought you never know there could be a treasure in there. Needless to say, I walked out with nothing but for those who are looking for the kind of product it's a great place.

The owner is super friendly, offering us waters when we came in and giving lots of insight into the items we were looking at. I ended up buying a book for $8, it was used but in very good shape and a nice edition! Everything about this place is great and it's definitely worth looking around, maybe you'll find something you love!

As far as donating- -don't expect them to lift a finger as…read moreyou unload your car, even when there's 10+ bags. -don't expect a thank you, no matter how many hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of items you've graciously donated. -you'll likely also have to search for an employee to even accept the items, while the donation bay is marked "open." -expect them to keep some of the items you've donated, if they find them valuable (I've seen that happen several times.) -if you ask for a receipt for documentation reasons, they'll send you off in search of one amongst their bins. Good cause but they've burned me one too many times. The ungrateful, unhelpful attitudes are extremely off putting. I'll be donating elsewhere from now on. Plenty of other options.

After grabbing lunch in Waunakee I was in the mood for some thrift shopping. I was surprised to…read moresee that Waunakee had a thrift store and decided to check this place out. It's not on the main drag like you might expect, but just off of it, making it easy to find and park. It has a bit of an odd layout but they have plenty of stuff, and it was all well organized. Great prices, too. The store was clean and the staff was friendly. I will absolutely be coming back whenever I'm in the area.

Columbus has plenty of things to see & its just a hop skip and a jump from Madison.

Wednesday morning, some extremely rude man from this shop called my office, accused us of cold call telemarketing and hung up before I even knew who he was. So, I looked up the telephone number and found out it was "Light House Lamp Repair." If that's how they treat potential customers, I certainly won't be giving them any business. I didn't catch they guy's name, but he could stand to learn some manners.
