Most items we got were under $1 for craft and fabric bundles. Their craft section is better than most thrift stores -- vintage lace for 25-75 cents is amazing.

I have to say ,that my second stop today , Depot Exchange was very well organized. The clothes were sorted by size and not by color. The craft supplies were sorted by type ,each one having it's own basket. Which makes it really easy to find what you are looking for.

I stopped in the other day because I love their line of greeting cards, only to discover that they have started carrying reproduction fabrics and homespuns. What a treat! They are not a full-service quilting shops with notions, but you really do have to see their fabrics. They fit so beautifully with the theme of the shop, and the gals that run Gatherings couldn't be nicer.

Located in a tiny outpost on the Mississippi on the Wisconsin/Iowa border, a sweet little picturesque town of maybe 1,000 people. But this store would be a find in any big city with a reputation for having lots of book lovers. History - American, Iowan, Native American, wars, rare medical texts - literature, from Steven King to Basho's poetry. Kids' books of all kinds. Poetry, fiction, theology and religion. It was incredible to find something of this quality here. I bought a two volume set of Lincoln's speeches and writings, but if I lived in the area, this would become a favorite and frequent haunt. The owner was courteous and knowledgeable, too - a former airline pilot, if I recall, and he has wonderful taste. If you're a bibliophile who lives in or is passing through the area, it's worth a detour.

It's like a really cool antique store, but all the bad stuff has been weeded out- meaning no victorian here! There are posters, paintings, tchotchkes, and jewelry and purses and well you get the point! Very swanky items at this place- I got an amazing chair from the 50's and a pair of chanel sunglasses and an awesome costume cocktail ring! Love it- will definately check in again soon to find more goodies..
