A step back in time is how you will feel when you enter this charming store. It just recently…read moreopened and it is filled with memories of long ago. The store front is painted red and yellow and green. Once you go inside it reminds you of an old Mercantile shop in an old Western movie. The south side wall is covered in "penny" candy, which I'm sure isn't a penny now though! If you have an old favorite, you can probably find it here. The building is long and narrow and the walls are old wood as is the big long counter. You will find lots of vintage items as well as lots of handmade treasures. I love the handmade rag rugs in lots of beautiful colors...even pink, my favorite! There are handmade cloth and batting snowmen that are just adorable and very well made. A few antiques too that for sale. What I really love is the "feel" of the place. It is charming, quaint and a great addition to Pocahontas! It's worth the drive to step back in time and maybe pick up a special treasure and a handful of sweets!

I cannot recommend The Chirping Frog enough for anyone driving the i-55 corridor or making a trip for antiques and thrift finds. The customer service and friendly gals at the front (Jen and Angela) were the kindest and most lovely people you could meet. I'm so grateful for their help and hospitality, what gems. Please visit here, it's wonderful!

I did, however, find at least one item I took a photo of and texted my friend about. The Chirping Frog is not far from Pink Elephant, which is a bit bigger and has better selection, though Chirping Frog is less cluttered and in some ways easier to shop.

You know those places that make you smile before you even get out of the car? The Pink Elephant…read moreAntique Mall is one of those places. My brother and I stopped during a Route 66 road trip expecting to grab lunch, browse a few antique booths, and continue on to St. Louis. Four hours later, we were still there. The giant pink elephant and fiberglass figures outside immediately grab your attention, but that's only the beginning. Inside the former Livingston High School, you'll find 30,000 square feet of antiques, collectibles, vintage treasures, Route 66 memorabilia, toys, advertising signs, home décor, and enough nostalgia to keep you wandering for hours. One of my favorite things about Pink Elephant is that it appeals to far more than antique shoppers. Even if you don't buy a thing, there are countless photo opportunities, fun roadside attractions, a retro diner, and a fantastic candy and fudge shop. We had lunch at the Twistee Treat Diner, where I enjoyed a burger, onion rings, and a salted caramel milkshake that was worth every calorie. The diner has a fun retro vibe and was packed during our visit. Before leaving, we stopped by the Mother Road Fudge Factory and Candy Shop. The homemade fudge was fresh, creamy, and some of the best I've ever tasted. What truly makes this place special, though, is the Pickerill family. Owners Tonia and Wayne clearly love what they do. Their enthusiasm, friendliness, and passion for creating a memorable experience are evident throughout the property. You can tell they genuinely enjoy meeting travelers and sharing this unique Route 66 destination with others. As a photographer, I left with over 100 photos. As a traveler, I left with great memories. As a Route 66 enthusiast, I left knowing this is a stop I'll recommend to everyone. Whether you're traveling Route 66, looking for a fun family outing, searching for antiques, craving homemade fudge, or simply want a memorable roadside adventure, Pink Elephant Antique Mall is absolutely worth the stop. My advice? Allow much more time than you think you'll need.
