The absolute best indie bookstore I've ever visited. The owner is kind, funny, and has so many good…read morerecommendations. The selection is incredible given the size of the store, and we found books for ourselves, our teenager, and as gifts. They host book clubs and other events and you can't beat the location in Newbo. I have saved the best for last: there's a bookstore cat! When I went in a few weeks ago, I picked up a book called "The Rabbit Hutch" just to see what it was about. The owner told me a little about it, said he enjoyed it, and recommended it. His recommendation was so compelling that others shopping in the store also grabbed the book! He was so kind and appreciative to everyone who bought books and the best part is ... the book is just as described and a great pick! It wasn't a generic recommendation and his love of reading shows. Prices are reasonable - books cost what they cost. The store has lots of cute gifts as well, especially for pet people, books people, and candle lovers!

Love coming here! A cute selection of books and friendly owner. The ambiance inside is very…read morewelcoming. Highly recommend

Aside from being rude, these people are either incompetent and/ or thieves. The lady, Sue, is…read moreprobably the rudest in town on consignment, except for the person who runs the second act. Overall, I've brought in dozen of items - once they took about a dozen Wicker boxes and bags and some other items - and six months later I got $20. Recently I brought in brand new and greatly taken care of yard tools. Some of the limb and tree trimmers were even in the box. They're probably $50-$100 new. The next week when I stopped in and noticed they were all gone. I asked for my payout. It was $50. Should have done Facebook market. Either they were pricing in these items obscenely low (although when I look to ship the prices or normal and even high) or fill in the blank yourself. The next week, I took in 2 boxes and a suitcase o clothes... the lady wasn't working and the man took the entire thing, including $100 suitcase that I brought only for transportation, but they said he would take it. I stopped in a week later, and the lady is still not there. The man tells me those weren't the type of clothes they were looking for and they donated that them all to Goodwill but could not provide me the receipt of donation. I could've probably sold it overtime on Poshmark for hundreds of dollars. These people are the worst.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Variety of yarns and fabric at reasonable prices. I'll be back!read more

It's always treasure hunting or adventure in shopping when you visit Artifacts. The inventory is…read morealways changing from antique from historical, vintage, Antique,, retro, to classic. You name it they probably have it or will have some time. From from toys, comics, furniture, tools, instruments of all kinds and types, jewelry, clothes.... The people who work there are friendly and knowledgeable. The prices tend to be reasonable, but occasionally I find some items to believe to be slightly overpriced. Remember prices are marked at time of the store's appraisal of the item before being placed on the floor, so it's price may not reflect current market value trends. Just keep that in mind when shopping here. All in all the over all prices are usually fair or a steal if you know your stuff and have an eye for what you're looking for.

I love that this toy shop has been an Amana staple for years and years. This is a great stop for…read morekids of all ages. Unique novelty items (big plastic fingers, anyone?), games, puzzles (they sell my favorite brand of all-time White Mountain), personalized items (think keychain with your name on it, but amped up and put on a toy semi-truck), books, baby items, dinosaur stuff, princess/unicorn stuff and so much more. They had a small section dedicated to Bob Ross, so I bought an ornament for our tree. Reasonably priced. Staff was much more friendly this time around. Highly recommend.

They sell collectibles (John Deere, Willowtree, etc.) coffee table books, cook books, baby books, kids books, crafting books, greeting cards, calendars, knick-knacks and more. Prices are moderate and I've never actually purchased anything here (mainly because I can buy whatever it is on Amazon for a lot cheaper), but it is a fun store to shop.
