We were staying in Des Moines for a night while traveling to MN from Texas, and came across this…read moreplace when trying downtown one morning. The store itself was really neat to walk through, and they had fantastic restrooms! However, the people there were not very friendly. I smiled at one girl who worked there, and she just stared straight through me as she walked by me. Then, there was a guy and another woman, with only the woman briefly saying anything at all to us. They did have a nice selection of odds and ends, with lots of tins, old kitchen utensils, pots, pans. It was an okay stop for the morning, but wish those working there had been a bit friendlier. There is apparently free parking somewhere, but we had already paid at a meter before seeing the sign inside regarding this. Maybe we missed it on the outside somewhere, but that would definitely have been helpful to have seen before paying.

The Raccoon Forks Trading Company is kind of hidden away from the main East Village establishments…read more I only found it because I had parked at the nearby (and free) Capital lot and wandered by it on my way down to Fontenelle Supply Company and Raygun. There's also a restaurant next door (and connected inside) called Railroad Bill's Diner, which will have to wait for my next visit. I enjoy antique stores, especially the ones that have some curation and don't make me feel like I'm drinking out of a fire hose when looking around. This store is nicely laid out, easy to navigate, and features various individually owned (?) and themed bays (like books or tools). I also appreciated that I was pretty much on my own, unless I needed to ask for help or advice. So what did I buy? Let's just say that Gayle has already asked about it, rolled her eyes, and restated that we didn't need any more "junk" in the house. These places never reveal their true breadth in one visit, so I will be back the next time I'm in town. When you decide to come, please also note the historical building and its freight company heritage.

Amish Haus Beautiful…read moreAmerican made furniture! Walking in is like a wood haven. Upon arriving we were immediately greeted. You come here for quality products and fantastic service. Brought our young kids. Nice staff who give grace to crazy kids. I don't recommend bringing the rug rats. They can easily scratch, damage something, or turn on and off the lamps- annoying the sales associates. So... def not kid friendly. You can immediately tell the quality of the furniture by touching. The durability compares to nothing in any other furniture store. They carry Palettes by Wineburg and are comparable in price to Homemakers. They offer more of a selection and someone who actually enjoys helping in customizing. They also can customize what you like from their floor models. We were able to receive a general quote for customization while we were there. With extra add ons the sales associate was able to email me a better estimate of price. They typically have sales throughout the year. Their best deals are right around Forth of July and Labor Day. Be patient when visiting on a busy day. They don't staff 20 people at a time. They have staff that you can work directly with and repeatedly for a more intimate business exchange. Expect to pay high price for high quality. Definitely recommend if you're looking for heirloom pieces. They keep up with furniture trends but also keep their classic looks to remain classic throughout the years.
