It went under new ownership in 2016, and the store feels less cluttered than it did under the previous ownership. There are several vendors carrying both antique and modern items. Here are some things that jumped out at me during my most recent visit in February 2016: -costume jewelry -woodworking for the walls -tea cups and saucers -mod cookie jars -retro glassware -boutique clothing -original Pyrex bowls (individual and sets) -dining tables -a set of green velvet and wooden chairs -faux fur coats -bar cabinets -beaded purses -porcelain dolls -military jackets -china sets -coins I picked up a vintage lace gown from 1965 for just $18. It was an incredible find! I would highly recommend this spot given the size and abundance of options. It's a must-shop!

If that's what you're looking for I recommend shopping at this place. They are not respecting our elderly and most vulnerable of society by paying lip service to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Six foot distancing signs and mask required signs on the door. However, I was the only person staff, bob "the owner", or anyone else wearing a mask and practicing six foot distancing.

This place is my new favorite antique store Emporium that I can't wait to come back for. The staff…read morehere was very friendly upon walking in but not only that. This place is absolutely massive it is a treasure trove of artifacts with three floors to search and find anything and everything imaginable. This store puts most of the antique stores in Illinois to shame just because of what it offers. Formally this place was a senior living center and I am happy that they repurposed the building for something like this. There's an elevator and it moves very slowly. What's even cooler is that at the checkout they have beer in the cooler! How awesome is that besides all the snacks and munchies. I can't believe this business has been open for well over a year and a half this place is truly a hidden gem. Prices here are pretty good compared to most antique stores. Immense parking across the street or Park on the street. Highly recommend stopping in!

There's aquamarine and opal earrings, peridot and garnet bracelets, diamond and pearl necklaces, emerald and ruby bands...you'll be in awe by the selection inside the long glass cases. I began going as a kid, tagging along with my dad when he would buy my mom piece of jewelry for a special occasion. I loved accompanying him and having a say in what he should get her. The last few years I've gone on my own, spending many hours trying on diamond engagement rings and wedding sets. Sue, the owner, has always been gracious (and patient) in letting me wear and admire ring after ring. Some of her rings have a good story behind them, and I always enjoy hearing where certain pieces came from, their style, etc. (Fun fact: her oldest ring is over 200 years old!) Last December, I FINALLY bought a ring from Paraphernalia, which I like to refer to as my "back up engagement ring". The antique engagement ring--dating back to the 1890s--has a row of five stones of mine-cut diamonds and alternating sapphires. It's simple, it's elegant, and--most importantly--it's from an antique from a shop I cherish. For those of you looking for a piece of jewelry, I encourage you to pay a visit to Paraphernalia before walking into any other jewelry store. Once you see all that glistens and sparkles inside Sue's glass cases, you're going to want to stay awhile and try on all of them.

Went in and was greeted (well actually not greeted because she said nothing, I had to initiate the conversation) by a woman who I now know was the owner. She was so unfriendly. She acted like it hurt to wait on me. I can see why the place was empty. I know I shouldn't have, but I made a purchase. Do you know she never even said thank you? Unbelievable. And it doesn't end there. The two delivery guys....just as rude and unprofessional. Left chunks of mud on my floor. No booties? Come on guys. I couldn't wait to get them out of my house. You know they always say "Buy Local". Wished I didn't and I will never again from this place. Word to the owner....a little kindness and appreciation for your customers can go a long way. Try it.
