I was walking around Peoria Heights and looking through each store. This is a Fair Trade shop,…read morewhich means they buy from low-income countries to support their economy and resell the products. There is a huge sale going on because they will, unfortunately, be closing at the end of June. The volunteer greeted me, introduced me to their selections, and was very friendly when I took a long time to browse every knick-knack. They have cards, kitchen items, holiday items, instruments, bags, clothes, jewelry, books, magnets, bumper car sticks, stickers, wind chimes, finger puppets, coffees, teas, chocolates and more. Great place to buy unique gifts. It's like traveling the world without having to buy a plane ticket.

The selection of baby items are super unique for shower gifts and then another room is filled with children's toys and educational items.

Definitely take your time exploring, there is a ton to look at. I will be making this my first stop the next time I have that impossible person to shop for. I just wish it was not so far away!

Last week my BF told me to get in the car for a SECRET DATE and we ended up in Peoria, at J Draper…read moreGlass. Best surprise EVER! J. Draper Glass is a glassblowing studio that offers classes to the public. During our visit we learned about making those glass pumpkins that are EVERYWHERE in the fall (that I've been not-so-secretly coveting), and then, with hands-on assistance, we got to make our own! Jeremie is the owner of J. Draper, and she worked one-on-one with my boyfriend and me. She was incredibly helpful, nice, and funny. Jeremie and her associates have the whole process down to a science, telling you exactly where to stand, when, making the class safe as well as fun. It was so cool to pick out colors and then make my pumpkin, and I equally loved watching my classmates' pumpkins take shape. J. Draper offers all kinds of classes that cater to a variety of interests and price ranges. There are also dozens of pieces of glass art for sale at the studio if you just want to pick up something beautiful for yourself or a friend. I highly recommend taking a class at J. Draper Glass! It was a fun and unique experience that I'll remember for a very long time.

We had a great family experience with Jeremie and the team! We made two projects in our nearly two…read morehour session. They are very friendly, funny, and make sure everyone has a great time. This is a really cool hands on activity and doesn't require guests to be super artistic. Anyone can do it with their help and make some really cool items. We made ornaments and sun catchers that will make great gifts or cool items for the house. I would recommend this for a date night, family night ( we had 7 people ), team building or just get together night with friends. No complaints at all. Not sure on the official age recommendation, but as a mom I'd say 12 and over.

When I first moved to the area, I stopped into Two Sisters Warehouse as a customer, hoping to find…read moresome unique home décor. The moment I walked through the doors, I was amazed! The store is so much larger than it looks from the outside, and every booth has something different to discover. You can truly spend hours browsing all the beautiful home décor, vintage treasures, handmade items, and one-of-a-kind finds. After visiting, I knew this was a place I wanted to be part of. I reached out about becoming a vendor so I could showcase my hand-poured products, and from day one, the Two Sisters team made me feel so welcome. They took the time to sit down with me, explain everything, answer all of my questions, and even walk the store with me. Their kindness, encouragement, and genuine excitement made the entire process so easy. As a small business owner, having a place like Two Sisters Warehouse to display my handmade creations is such an incredible opportunity. Without them, it would be much more difficult to get my products in front of the community. They truly support local makers and small businesses, and it shows in everything they do. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and inspiring. The vendors are wonderful, the staff is incredibly friendly, and you can tell everyone works together to create a fun shopping experience. Whether you're looking for the perfect gift, decorating your home, or simply enjoying a day of browsing, there's always something new to discover. And did I mention the café? It's the perfect gathering spot to meet up with friends or family, catch up over coffee, enjoy a little girl talk, and treat yourself to one of their delicious sweet treats or the soup of the day. It makes the entire experience feel even more special and gives you one more reason to stay a little longer. I'm so grateful I found Two Sisters Warehouse--not only as a customer but now as a proud vendor. It has truly become one of my favorite places in town, and I can't recommend it enough. If you haven't visited yet, you're missing out on one of the area's true hidden gems!
