Let's get this out of the way first: it's a little out of the way. You gotta go down a side street…read moreyou've probably never taken before, then you've got to go around to the back of the building. But it's worth looking for, as you'll probably find something you didn't know you were looking for. What sets Among Other Things apart from all the other shops selling vintage and consignment stuff for the home is that their collection is well-curated. You won't find cheap craft crap; you'll find cool stuff from throughout the last, oh, 120 years or so. Any of it would look good in a well-appointed home. And thank heavens, they haven't completely jumped on the mid-century trend as most other such places have. From chairs to rugs to cards, there's something here for anyone with good taste. (I picked up a fairly recent photography coffeetable book at a reasonable price.) There's also an adjoining women's vintage clothing store (unfortunately, nothing for guys). While the location might be a little tough to find at first, it's one to put on your radar. (And not far from NFM, so any time you're thinking of visiting them, stop by here, too.)

The owner has nice taste, and does a great job updating lamps with new shades she makes herself…read more But I find a lot of the items are far more than I'd be willing to pay, and I have a budget much higher than most people's. Especially when you can find comparable items at a thrift store. As a result some items have been there for quite some time. I love that she also carries some local artists' works. But again, overpriced for what they are. The store is quite crowded, I don't think a stroller could fit through some of the walking paths. I worry about bringing my big purse in. Overall, it's a fun place to peruse, but after many visits, I've yet to pull the trigger on buying anything.

This store appears small on the outside but you descend stairs (no elevator as far as I know) to…read moreenter. It's big on the inside with various items: women's/men's clothing, a small selection of children's clothing, ceramics (plates, mugs), some smaller furniture items. There was a nice, small purple couch for $600; there's a very small amount of items that seem to be curated and in good condition. There's a large quantity and variety of items, however the selection is poor. A lot of the clothing items had stains or marks. It reeked of mold, and smells horrible. The clothing items on the racks are packed very close together so it can be tough to sift through. Cashier with a beard and glasses was extremely rude! We walked in and there was no welcome. I would go so far as to say we received an annoyed look that we came in. However, when there was a busload of white women that came in and were loudly patronizing the store the whole time, they received a warm welcome with a smile. I entered this store with family (aunt and 2 cousins) as a visitor from out of state. When we approached the cashier, my aunt paid for her items: 1 shirt, 1 pair of pants, 3 bracelets, and a mug which totaled around $33. My aunt asked the cashier about the prices of certain individual items after she paid, because the bracelets and mug didn't have price tags on them when we brought them to the register. She wasn't given a receipt nor was she asked if she wanted one when she checked out. The cashier responded in an annoyed tone, "Oh my gosh, I'll just print you a receipt." The cashier should've asked if she wanted a receipt after she paid! We decided to just leave after the interaction, but my aunt and cousin went back in the store to take some photos of the store. My aunt: "You should've given me a receipt instead of saying 'oh my gosh'. It was rude." Cashier: "I was just trying to give you a receipt because you couldn't count it up." My aunt: "You were being rude and should've given me a receipt from the beginning." After that, my aunt walked away and the cashier proceeds to tell the customers in line that he was trying to "help" my aunt in their original interaction, which is incorrect. He was unfriendly and rude towards our whole party, no customer service skills for customers of color. Don't shop here if you're a person of color. It's not worth the stained clothing merchandise or withstanding the stench of mold in this basement shop.

If you get a chance to visit, please do. This is one local shop that deserves our support.

If you like finding a unique piece for a wall in your home, a conversation piece for your kitchen or a repurposed chair painted with words and drawings from a nursery rhyme you need to explore Robin's Nest. My husband knows that if we are traveling south on highway 50 it will mean a stop (sometimes long, sometimes short) at the blue metal shed in Springfield. Currently decked out for the holidays, I wasn't quite ready to shop for Christmas but left with dish towels, a decorative tin tile, and some gray chalk paint for a project. I always find something unique and love checking out every nook and cranny that tastefully displays the latest market finds and the unique creations of local makers. Prior to COVID the shop offered classes in hand lettering and painting but I haven't seen any of those lately. I love exploring the back room where you can find thrifty pieces to DIY........from old maps, wooden paned windows, oars, farmhouse chairs, wire gathering baskets, metal letters, and much more. Ample parking is available on Main Street and the store is observing COVID-19 restrictions with mask wearing, social distancing and limiting capacity. The owner rang up my selections and gave a few tips for using the paint I purchased. She even showed me a finished piece using the paint color I had selected. The store was packed with displays so navigating the store areas might be a challenge for those with a walker or small children. Stopping at Robin's Nest is a regular occurrence for this Yelper. I am not sure why I haven't reviewed it before! I got distracted and forgot to take photos. I will add those on my next visit.

The co-op carries the antiques of around 9 different dealers, and as a result there is a wide range of options, and a wide range of prices. One of the benefits of the co-op is that the dealers are also the rotating cashier staff so you can often haggle their prices, or have them contact off-site dealers to negotiate. If you are checking out an especially pricey piece, many dealers will even let you pay in installments. Their hours can be inconvenient, but if you can navigate the schedule it is extremely worth the effort.

I was able to find all local products without hopping from store to store including honey, candles, baker's chocolate candies, magnets, t-shirts, and so many other amazing Nebraska-made items. Everything is thoughtfully curated, beautifully displayed, and genuinely high quality. The shop itself is adorable and welcoming, and it feels really good knowing that every purchase supports local makers and businesses. It's the perfect one-stop shop for gifts that actually feel meaningful and unique (not just filler items). If you're sending care packages, building gift boxes, or just want to support Omaha-made products, this place is a no-brainer. I'll absolutely be back not just for the holidays, but year-round.
