The store boasts an impressive selection of collectibles that cater to a wide range of interests. The first thing that struck me was the organization and presentation of items. Everything was neatly displayed, making it easy to browse and discover hidden gems. From vintage action figures to rare dolls, beanie babies and many more......., they had it all. Best of luck to you on your new Endeavors

This independent store owner was not only very professional, but also very friendly. He was the…read moreonly business owner within 100 miles that had a PlayStation 2 in stock, and at a good price and condition. You can tell he's just starting out, but is very passionate about his business. He also invited me and a friend to a pop up event for his store's promo and gaming events. If you are looking for good quality nostalgic collectibles/novelty items, I would 100% recommend this store.

There's little signs that say "hi I made this!" and they're everywhere! Love love love that touch! Lena is chatty and joins in the conversation which I love-it makes you feel like everyone is welcome and included. While I was checking out, she told us the most exciting part= you can bring in any vessel and she will fill it with candle wax! Think of all the perfect vessels you have at your house RIGHT NOW! Those could be candles! This is the kind of place you WANT to visit! The stuff inside is great as is the owner/designer/artist! Enjoy!

I was shopping for a range of ages so their layout made it SO easy. They have a great selection of stuffed animals and games. It's so much more fun to shop in person than online for toys so I really appreciated being able to visit. I also felt things were reasonably priced. They do offer gift wrapping. Parking is easy as there is metered parking all along Lincoln.

I feel kinda indifferent about this store. It does have stuff for various ages, so I was able to…read morefind something for my four month old--though they don't have a lot for that age range. Happily, the item I did purchase for her has kept her occupied. They also have a small collection of books, as well as a small display of clothes. You'll find stuffed animas here too, and I almost bought one for my little one but figured I'd wait until she's a bit older and can play with it. One thing that was a little unfortunate is that it there's not a door-opening button to enter or exit. I can't be the only person with a child in a stroller who visits this store and can't teleport themselves inside... it was a bit of a struggle getting in and out of the store with a stroller.

Even though this shop was pretty far out of my way--and I only had about 30 minutes before they…read moreclosed at 5--it was 100% worth it. The selection of canvases was incredible, unlike anything I've seen at other needlepoint stores. So many unique and fun designs immediately caught my eye. From the moment I walked in, Kristen was so helpful and welcoming. She helped me the entire time without being overbearing, and I loved that when I said I was just browsing, she told me to "just whistle" if I needed anything--it actually made me laugh and made the whole experience feel relaxed and comfortable. I also loved seeing popular canvases I've seen online and on TikTok, like the Tootsie collection and other trending designs--it was so fun to see them in person. I had such a hard time deciding on a needle minder because I only wanted to get one that I absolutely loved, and she was so kind to gift it to me. That kind of customer service is rare. Now every time I stitch and look at it, I'll think of Canvas Back and want to go back. They even stayed a little past closing to help me, which I truly appreciated. This is by far my favorite needlepoint store I've been to. I'll definitely be back! Thank you for your service! - Savannah

I continue to be so in love with this store. If you're into shops that will have you looking in…read moreevery single corner wanting every single thing, then this is your stop. Tonight I finished my holiday shopping for my niece and picked up a couple of beautiful gifts. The kids section contains high-quality merchandise. My hubby was literally double-parked outside, and I thought I could just run in and out, but no way. I wanted to buy the entire collection! From adorable natural cotton baby clothes to books, to stuffed animals, to toys, you will not leave empty-handed. They have something for every budget, and I think the prices are spot on for the quality. I truly admit to being completely obsessed with an adorable owl stuffed animal. Sooooo cute! Now, the best part about this store? Well, aside from the well-curated merchandise, is the owner. She's a total sweetheart and helped me pick out the perfect gift. She also gift-wrapped it in a super cute burlap bag with my choice of tissue color and a tie. Thank you...thank you. I'm so happy to see that this store is around. I need to stop in more often. Of course, not just for baby gifts, because they have grown-up goodies and cards too. Run, don't walk to this store. You won't be disappointed. Plus, it's super cute inside.

Baa, Baa Black Sheep. Have you any gifts?…read moreYes, sir, yes, sir One store full; One for a housewarming, And one to celebrate a birthday, And one for the little boy Who lives down the lane. --- Sorry, couldn't help myself. You know you have little ones at home when you pass by a new store and can't get a nursery rhyme out of your head. Yes, there's a new store in Glencoe...whoo hoo! I haven't done much shopping in town since Shirise closed their doors earlier this year (RIP), but it's fabulous to have a store where you can quickly pop in for a housewarming gift or just a little something for visiting a new baby. In the few weeks BlackSheep has been open I've stopped in twice to purchase: a) a lovely candle for the host of dinner during the jewish holidays b) a lovey for a new baby visit (the "real" gift wasn't ready quite yet) And of course I can't forget the few times my pre-schooler has dragged me in there for "just a few pieces of candy." Based on the fabulous candy display they have set up I have a feeling we'll be spending lots of time (and $) at BlackSheep. Welcome to the hood BlackSheep!
