Some of the items are priced higher than nearby stores like Michael's or Hobby Lobby, but the quality of items here are top notch. I am a big fan of Sharpie markers and moleskin journals and they always have a great selection here in different sizes, colors and unlined or lined versions. I like to come here for unique gift items too. Check out their Artist of the Month displays and special events too. However, I will share that parking here on the weekends is getting challenging, now that the new H Mart has opened.

We had driven around the square in Woodstock, determined to continue on our trip to Minneapolis,…read morewhen either my boyfriend's mom or sister noticed a little shop tucked in among the other stores. They convinced my boyfriend to make another loop around the square and park in front of the quaint shop because we had to check it out. I'm so glad they made us turn around. The Backdrop is a find that is chock full of so many other great finds. This is a gift shop that makes you want to buy a few things for yourself -- which I did. The Backdrop has cards, pillows, trinkets, jewelry, novelty books, home decor and other doo-dads a-plenty. We spent more than the five minutes we told my boyfriend we would take perusing everything. And so many of the finds were very affordable, such as the locket I got for about $15 and a print about beer for $12. The owners -- or at least I believe they are the owners -- were also great to chat with. They had actually been down to Kentucky for Kentucky Crafted, and they had a better knowledge of past Kentucky governors than I have. It was nice to talk to someone who is passionate and easy to talk to about my fave state. It's probably good that I don't live in Woodstock or else I spend way too much money at The Backdrop on a regular basis.

Learning to speak Klingon can be a daunting task. You don't want to pronounce something incorrectly…read moreand find you've just called some temperamental Klingon a butthead by accident. So you can see why it came in so handy when I happened upon this cute shop in Woodstock Square that sold a book teaching Klingon. The Backdrop is one of the more unusual home decor shops I've ever come across. I could look for hours and spend a fortune. There are a lot of unique items such as the aforementioned Klingon book (see pic), weird and creepy mounted doll heads, beeswax art, beautiful handmade jewelry, and a ton of truly unique home decor. It is probably my favorite shop in Woodstock. I feel like you can find something for everyone at this store. If issued the challenge, I dare say I could buy for everyone on my Christmas list here. I could certainly buy a bunch for myself! Items found here are moderate to pricey, but you are definitely paying for a carefully curated collection of items, and in my book, unique equals special, so I very much appreciate finding items here I can't elsewhere. Everything here is unique, even items not for sale, like foam core cutouts and painted decor (that you would never believe were made from foam core in a million years), or yard sticks mounted and used as display shelves. Inspiring is the word I would use. You can really get your creative juices flowing after a saunter through the store. You will think of all sorts of home projects with The Backdrop as the inspiration. As a graphic designer, I admire the imaginative and innovative selections and executions. As a Klingon, I demand it.

Love that this spot stayed a stationery shop! I really liked how quaint and cozy the exterior looks…read moreso happy it's still a place I can visit for my paper and pen fix. I visited during stationery store day and I am happy I went here. They had tons of the popular and trendy stationery items and also some things for booktok fans. Definitely had Fourth Wing stuff too. I really enjoyed seeing Chicago themed items. I got some Hot Dang Press iron-on transfers. I can wait to add them to my traveler's journal. They also have this super cute trinket making station. you get a bigger than a regular alltoid tin and put whatever kind of trinkets and set it up however you want. Very customizable and the first I've seen of it! Definitely worth the visit. The owner was so nice!

You'll find some cards (there were some pretty funny ones here), notepads and paper, pens, and so on. They had a cool watercolor book by a creator who has a QR code for a free art class on the back, which I almost bought but taking up a painting hobby is just not something I have time to pursue right now. In addition to the paper goods, they have some textile stuff too. Wallets, sunglasses sleeves, tablet holders, cord keepers; you'll find that and more here. In addition to a few there things I bought a few of the cord keepers because finding loose cords around like snakes laying everywhere is annoying. The employee (proprietor?) was friendly. She was sitting at the front of the store at a typewriter when we came in, maybe composing her novel? A blast from the past for sure but old typewriters are works of art.
