Absolutely amazing store! It is the Wonka Chocolate Factory; if Wonka loved precious lighting artifacts instead of chocolate.
If you are trying to replace your house's lighting for historically accurate lighting this is your place. If you're into craftsmanship and not Wayfair quality lighting, this is your place.

**A Hidden Gem with a Generous Spirit**
Today, I had the pleasure of visiting this quaint antique store that radiated charm and warmth. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a sense of nostalgia and history. The owner, a kind-hearted individual, made the experience truly special. When I mentioned that I had recently moved back to the Midwest from abroad, he went out of his way to welcome me by gifting me some beautiful postcards of the local area—a thoughtful gesture that made me feel instantly at home.
What struck me even more was his generosity towards my friend. As she shared a heartfelt story about her father, who had worked in the ice industry many decades ago, the owner surprised us both by presenting her with a unique and vintage set of ice tongs. It was a touching moment that spoke volumes about the owner's character and the genuine connections he fosters with his customers.
This antique store is more than just a place to browse for treasures; it's a space where memories are shared, and kindness is abundant. If you're looking for a shopping experience that leaves you with more than just a purchase, this is the place to visit. Highly recommended!

Happened to stumble into this store while walking around the streets with my daughters. Apparently they were closed but the owner opened the door and called us in to listen to the music they were practicing! Learnt something new there that day and left the store with an experience we will never forget!!!If you like old things, there's layers upon layers of stuff to look at.. Who knows you might find the one things that you did not know you wanted or needed but had to have it..Thanks for
