She was about 20 mins late, snobbish/snotty, and didn't even due a full walk through. She walked in and saw the living/dining room, family room and stopped at kitchen. Said it was not going to work as there is too much stuff and too much cleaning needs to happen. Was here for about 10 mins and left. Very unprofessional!

I found this place via Facebook. My sister, mom and i LOVE thrift store, Joanna Gaines refurbished…read moretype stuff, so we wanted to try it out. It's located downtown rockford, the do have street parking available, as well as some reserved spots to the left of the building. All the trinkets and furniture is from the rockford rescue mission thrift store and is refurbished by the Women's life Recovery program and some local 815 artists. The best part? 100% of the proceeds go to the Rockford Rescue Mission. The furniture that i saw today was SO nicely done, and honestly a fraction of the price of most places I've been in the area. There's picture frame, kitchen utensils, pillows, jewelry, baskets, something for everyone's taste and it's all hand remade! I LOVE the concept, the staff was SO friendly and eager to explain everything to us. They are currently working on a couple more tables and other furniture pieces i cannot wait to see what they put out next. If you love refurbished items and your not a DIY type person this is your place ! Check it out.

Tried to use it today and was told they won't take it anymore and that - despite the fact I received it 2 years ago - it "expired" 4 years ago??? So not only did I lose my gift card, that basically means they stole that $60. I should have tried to keep the actual card and gone to BBB but they took it away from me. I told them to their face too - I'll never come back. And I'll let others know what happened. Very bad business practice.

Throw pillows with slogans? They got 'em. Furniture refinished with chalkboard paint? Oh yeah. Wall hangings with inspirational sayings about living, laughing AND loving? Say no more, fam. VB is kind of in the middle of nowhere but the Lake Geneva moms seem to have it on the radar, with good reason. You won't find any dusty crap or musty old garbage here - everything is beautifully arranged, perfectly displayed and honestly, pretty reasonably priced. They have helpful and kind staff and even measuring tapes in strategic spots to help you out, so strap on that Michael Kors handbag and get ready to SPEND! Most of this isn't my personal style but I didn't leave without a few heavenly smelling candles and a sassy greeting card. Perfect place to find a nice gift for the lady in your life who needs a "wine o'clock" sign or a "chop it like it's hot" tea towel. NGL, was tempted by that last one.

Even better, the owner (Don) is himself a treasure. He knows his trade very very well, and he is incredibly outgoing and kind. He lost his beloved wife a few years ago, and he has dedicated space in his store to benefit the hospice organization that cared for his wife. This is exactly the kind of store and business owner you want to support, and you will be blown away by what you find when you walk in. This is about a 2-hour drive from my home in Chicago, and I will definitely be going back as often as possible.

The prices are always really reasonable, and regular sales mean you're often getting a deal on that. The woman who runs the store is just so sweet and so friendly, and even though there's usually some kind of Jesus radio playing in the background and I get the impression that she's really religious, she's the nice kind of Christian. I've been to other Christian thrift stores that feel uncomfortable, judgmental, and pushy but this place is just really professional and fun.

This is a combination antique store and coffee shop. Don't forget to look to the right as you order your coffee - there are some nice sweets in the display case - I enjoyed their chocolate covered cookie dough - yum! Since I don't do coffee, I had a good Root Beer Float. Very tasty! Lots of things to see - make sure you check out the basement as well, where more antiques and merchandise is hidden away. Take a moment to look at the window mouldings - they are impressive with crown, dental and other accents from the original church. As far as I know, this is the ONLY place to get an Astra Latte in Ogle County. If you love good coffee, you have to try this place.
