Lots of the same stuff though. My wife did find a good deal on a basket that we 'needed" (heavy snark). The owners/workers? were terribly unfriendly and didn't engage in any way as we checked out. Literally didn't even make eye contact.

If you're really into antiques, stop in at this place. Give yourself plenty of time, because they…read morehave floor after floor after floor of antiques to view. There are varying price ranges, Amish items, signs, comic books, Hot Wheels, cast iron, food, coffee, etc. We spent a good hour here to stretch our legs while traveling. So much variety exists here, and walking to all the different floors to check things out is a fun adventure. There are a lot of things to peruse, and plenty of the items trigger various childhood memories. It's like taking a trip down memory lane in some of the rooms. I can't imagine anyone regretting stopping in at this place - it's hard not to walk out with something every time we go. Even if it's not something for us, we find plenty of gifts for other people.

The three employees working are super slow and type out to their hearts content. I've maybe been in line for 10+ minutes already. I wanted to have my fiancé try on rings and no one came to our aide when we rang the doorbell for assistance. Please at least train the employees faster or some vendor commission split THATS easier for them to calculate. "You guys have been in line for a while yeah?" Yes ma'am we have.

Tried to use it today and was told they won't take it anymore and that - despite the fact I received it 2 years ago - it "expired" 4 years ago??? So not only did I lose my gift card, that basically means they stole that $60. I should have tried to keep the actual card and gone to BBB but they took it away from me. I told them to their face too - I'll never come back. And I'll let others know what happened. Very bad business practice.

LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE…read more Vintage Bliss is what happens when your Mom's Pinterest had a little too much and barfed up a store full of perfectly curated, vintage inspired, wine themed stuff. Throw pillows with slogans? They got 'em. Furniture refinished with chalkboard paint? Oh yeah. Wall hangings with inspirational sayings about living, laughing AND loving? Say no more, fam. VB is kind of in the middle of nowhere but the Lake Geneva moms seem to have it on the radar, with good reason. You won't find any dusty crap or musty old garbage here - everything is beautifully arranged, perfectly displayed and honestly, pretty reasonably priced. They have helpful and kind staff and even measuring tapes in strategic spots to help you out, so strap on that Michael Kors handbag and get ready to SPEND! Most of this isn't my personal style but I didn't leave without a few heavenly smelling candles and a sassy greeting card. Perfect place to find a nice gift for the lady in your life who needs a "wine o'clock" sign or a "chop it like it's hot" tea towel. NGL, was tempted by that last one.

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.

The person at the front counter pointed out to me that it seemed that I liked a particular vendor, and was able to direct me to another of the vendor's sections which of course had many more items that I took home with me as well! I thought the pricing was reasonable and really appreciated the wide array of clothing, decor, holiday items, etc.
