I have this stereotype of middle class White women: patchouli, lavender, vanilla, yoga with the…read moreHinduism extracted, folk guitar, candles, hand made soap, crystals, and cleanses. Like all stereotypes, this is based in ignorance and selective observation. So, given that context let me say I think this is the kind of place White middle class women would like, for clothing, hats, jewelry, perfume, bath oil, hand made soap, and gifts. I did find a pair of "Singing in the Rain" themed cufflinks that were a great gift to me. Friendly, woman centered customer service, a wonderful place if you're into this sort of thing but just not my cup of tea. So to speak.

If you have kids and come to Galena, you already know about Poopsie's. If you're an adult and you…read morehaven't been in here, you still need to go. They've got something for everyone, and it's super fun to walk around the store and interact with the staff and the games. They've got a ton of stuff that you can play with while you're there, and the staff knows about everything there to offer up opinions on all their items. We stop in this place so often that I've lost count. Their content changes so heading in there is normally going to be somewhat of a new experience, and they've remodeled a bit to make it even easier to walk around and check things out. This place is normally super busy, but I did manage to get some pictures since we were the first ones in. It's absolutely a place to support, and they put in a great amount of effort to make sure you have the best experience in a brick-and-mortar store. It's a challenge to not leave with something in your hands. If you have kids, I'd say it's not possible - at least with mine :D

There are two Peace of the Past locations here in Galena. While the shops are both fun to look…read morearound in I can sum up my visit in one word... Overpriced! Lots of books... I'm more of a hard goods collector so right off the bat I wasn't impressed. The South location has a large collection of vintage fire extinguishers. Somthing I love to look at and own a couple of. Then I looked at their prices... WAY over market price for an item I am very informed on. Maybe It's a personal collection they don't really want to sell? I found a lot of the hard good items like this... I won't discourage you from stopping in. You might come across that one of a kind treasure you are looking for and you are willing to pay whatever it takes to get it home... I would encourage you to get off of Main St. and find some of the other off the beaten patch antique and thrift shops the Galena area has to offer. If you want my terribly honest opinion... Head to Missouri. The antique malls and shops in the Springfield, Ozark, and Branson area are second to none! And they don't charge you champagne prices for their beer selection...

I got lots of compliments all day on my new pants!

They didn't have the size I was hoping for, but I was told that they order just about weekly and will order the size needed, with shipping out of town being about $8. Not a bad deal so I'll have to keep it in mind. Ashley is the store clerk who helped me, and she was fantastic. They are lucky to have her here.

I do have to say that this was my favorite one though, it did seem the largest of them all as well. It was a good size with very reasonable prices and lots to look at. :) Not cluttered with much "junk" hogging the shelves so to speak - everything was actually worthwhile and worth looking at. I really enjoyed my time here. Though I don't think I'll ever be rolling through this small down by chance again (lol...), I do have to say that I would be back if I did! Nice shop. Worth stopping in for sure if you enjoy antiques and collectibles!
