Never does anyone greet you and say hello to you when you enter the store. When I am walking through the store, not one employee will look up and say hello. Not even the manager. I love the store and always enjoy seeing all their new products, but after my last visit I will not be returning.

They have so many different themed merch like tv shows, Harry Potter, Hello Kitty, Care Bares, Mulang, Mario, and a billion things that I don't know about. I went here before Valentine's Day and ended up finding a Super Mario Fire stuffy for my hubby. He loves it! They also had very unique and funny cards! They have tons of candy of every variety. I found ring pop gummies here & my husband ate them in a day. Tons of toys & stuffed animals. One thing I will say is their prices were a bit high. But I imagine with cost of operation these days it makes sense and I am in a spot where I can support this small business (reasonably). It is a super fun store. Use caution bringing a small child into this store, as there will be several things within their reach and they will probably want to get their hands on everything. I honestly wouldn't bring a kid younger than 8 or 9 in this store. If you need gift inspiration, come to this cute store!

There's a lot here if you're willing to dig through! There's a vintage area with tons of old, vintage papers, photographs, sheet music, postcards, photo albums, negatives, etc. Loads of scrap fabric and remnants, yarn, embroidery floss, notions, scrap paper, scrapbooking materials, stickers, stencils, even industrial supplies like foam scraps, and household materials like pill bottles (empty of course), lids, jars, storage containers, craft kits, old calendars, big bins of wine corks, pens, etc. They have a HUGE selection of old National Geographic issues, some going back as far as the 1930s. Perfect for collages or collecting. They also have a few machines like scales, microscopes, sewing machines, etc. As well as a few tools, wood and metal working items, just bits and bobs of tons of things to sort through. It changes all the time so stop in regularly to see what they get in! And the best part? It's all SO cheap and keeps all these things out of landfills (56K lbs just last year)! Upcycling FTW! Some things are in better condition than others but if you're the creative type you will be inspired by all you can find here. And since things are so affordable you can really take risks and noodle around without worrying about wasting your supplies. Want more inspo? They also offer workshops and classes to get your creative juices flowing. Swing by and check it all out!

They have a unique collection of decor, with everything from upcycled art/furniture, throw pillows, ornaments, mirrors, pictures/wall art, candle holders, printed mugs, wreaths, lamps, and more! The art is in a variety of styles, though a lot of it leans towards farmhouse and antiques style there is plenty of other style items as well. They also have some clothing items and bath items as well. My understanding is that different artists/entrepreneurs feature their own unique section of items for sale, which makes it more eclectic. I've been there a few times for different seasonal decorations already and am always excited to see what they have each time.

I hadn't been there before so it was really was like uncovering some beautiful treasures I hadn't been expecting to find. Oh! And the space has the most gorgeous flower mural on the wall! Sets the tone for the shop perfectly. For the holidays they had some really love displays featuring bottle brush trees, locally made ornaments (which looked like they were perhaps from Pewabic and Motawi Tile, though I may be wrong), other bits of Christmas decor as well as unique gifts like craft sets, textiles, some stationary/cards, etc. They also carry some really lovely baby gifts, some kitchen-y things, candles, glassware, home decor, bath and body care, seasonal goodies, houseplants and planters, and more. I loved browsing everything they carried and in the end I walked out with a few purchases, including one of the beautiful Christmas trees and a beautiful embroidery kit of peonies and other flowers as a gift for my aunt. My only wish is that I lived closer so I could come by more often. I highly recommend popping in whether your in town or you make a dedicated trip to purchase a gift for someone. You'll easily find something for anyone.
