I love Shaggy's Indoor Flea Market! It's so easy to get through. The owner is very nice and…read morehelpful! She knows a lot about all her inventory. It's in a good location, easy to find, convenient parking and plenty of it. You could spend hours walking up and down the aisles. The first time I was there the owner took several dollars off the item I was buying which was unexpected. The prices are more than fair. There's a terrific selection. She had a lot of unique merchandise. Go, have fun and give yourself enough time to get through it. No regrets!

Huge selection and you could most likely find what you're looking for but waaaay overpriced!read more

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.

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.

I've purchased many lawn decorations from Red's. They have the best selection and great value…read more Everyone loves my Silly Bird.

I hired Ron to clear my mom's estate and empty her house. He did a good job in the 2 1/2 days he…read moreemptied the house. The problem came when he left the washer/dryer, a bed and a hutch. He left the bed and washer/dryer in the house so I could use them while I was there. He had the washer/dryer sold and the guy who bought them couldn't take them until a later date because his new residence was not available till then. Ron and I agreed that he would come back and get all the items when he picked up the washer/dryer. Well here I am back in Houston and he made an agreement with the neighbor who had a key to the house to let Ron in. So Ron instead of contacting me removed the washer/dryer and left the other items. After several texts he told me was officially done, which means that he didn't keep his agreement. His agreement was with me not the neighbor. So now I have to fly back from Houston to remove two items from the house that he had previously agreed to remove. Don't use Ron, he doesn't keep his word. His excuse is this is a family matter, etc. It has zero to do with family, his agreement was with me. No one else was involved. If you use Ron the same thing might happen to you. He continued to rant in text messages to me but I told him I blocked him so who knows what his continued rant was!! NOT RELIABLE AT ALL!!!!!!
