If they needed to close early, there should have been a sign on the door or at least an update on their website to inform customers. It's really inconvenient and disappointing to show up expecting to shop and find the doors locked. Especially considering me and all my friends traveled a decent amount to even get here. We were just trying to give out exchange student from France the American experience of shopping and it let all of us down. ---

It's a delight that engages all your senses. So much beauty surrounds you. Truly one of my favorite places in Elgin. The staff is so super attentive, kind and treat their customers wonderfully. I love this store so much because of the beautiful and unique items. Fran the owner of the store makes my experience pure joy from the moment I walk in. I feel welcomed immediately. I will go out of my way to shop there because I always find just the right thing and I always feel happy when I leave. This store is a beloved pillar of the Elgin community. I encourage you to stop in. You will not regret it.

This is a great spot if you're in the mood to shop or just meander. With vendors upon vendors, it's almost as if you're shopping at a bunch of mini stores. Handmade items, vintage goods, collectables to items you didn't even know existed. I've been to quite a few of these consignment type stores and I was very impressed at how organized and clean this market was. They even have a cute area in the back with free coffee, little snack samples and a place to rest your feet. The prices range from vendor to vendor but overall seemed pretty reasonable. I was impressed they have essentially a whole jewelry store in here where you can not only purchase jewelry but they repair items as well and were very informative. The space is a large warehouse-type of building with its own large parking lot making it very easily accessible.

There was also a jewelry counter towards the middle of the store and what looked like maybe a coffee stand at the back. Bathrooms were located at the back of the bathroom. The vendors/staff were friendly, talkative, and eager to help us gather Royal Haeger. Some vendors had very reasonable prices while others were very expensive. They wrapped and boxed our items - sadly one of our purchased pieces didn't make it in the box when we left. An easy stop if you are in the area and/or if you need a gift for just about any type of event.

The original church doors and windows are really pretty and make for a nice ambiance inside. Items for sale range from old glass medicine bottles and candlesticks to some furniture and paintings. There's older (vintage) items and modern produced items available. You'll see the typical goat soaps and salsas mixed in with old items. Prices are fairly high, but that's to be expected at a place that takes time to organize and display items so nicely. The overall design/feel is a copy of many other small town "vintage" shops, but this one is bigger and was built out by someone that has more money than the the people that own the smaller versions you'll find scattered in small towns across the US. My thought is that you really won't find anything worth buying. You'll likely find yourself trying to justify a purchase that you can get cheaper elsewhere. If you're looking for typical "vintage" stuff, you'll find it for way less $ at a resale shop, but you'll have to dig around a bit and will need to clean it up. Worth it for the savings and mystery, in my opinion. I don't know if this store will last, but it sure does look nice.

This one didn't have much in the way of that, so not really much for me. But did have many other things. They have a lot of religious stuff for pagan followers and folks interested in metaphysical or occult practices. You'll find lots of herbs, athames, gemstones, books, tarot cards, pendulums, and so on. It's quite a large shop, too; two rooms and lots of space. They do tarot readings here as well. When I came here during the weekend, they were offering various services like tarot, and I think palmistry and astrological readings. I did take a look at their tarot decks because I like ones with interesting art and collect several, but they had mostly standard decks you'll find at similar shops; nothing really new or interesting for me. If you're not familiar with Elgin, you'll need to rely on GPS; this shop is on a frontage road near Judson and in an you have to get to it in a somewhat odd way, so using a digital map will probably be your best bet. Obviously I do not know the owner(s) background... so I'm reserving judgment on the use of the exonym for Romani people in the name of the shop.
