There may be local things tucked in here and there but most of it is not local. Regardless, I got the perfect present for my mom for Mother's Day. And I found the perfect set of 5' tall leaves to make a trellis for some of my plants. Overall, this was my favorite store on the whole strip. They do mostly metal yard art, and they do it well with a large house full of options.

If you haven't been to the Amana Colonies, it is so worth the trip, especially in these hectic,…read morecompromising times. You'll slow your body clock down a bit, and enjoy a unique shopping or dining experience, regardless of which of the seven scenic villages you visit. This one is in the heart of the Amana village. I'm reviewing Margie Jane's because of the positive customer service that we received. Friendly, kind, and full of knowledge about their products. Loved their metal art and cool sport-related items that are truly one-of-a-kind. Roomy, well-lit, and full of fun options. Grateful for the superb level of customer service that we received, and I will follow-up with them on some fun items as a result.

They have a few other books by more mainstream adult authors but overall kind of a limited selection. Lots of puzzles and toys and things for children. Almost seems like a toy shop... almost.

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.

When we went inside, we were greeted with smiles and by friendly and helpful staff. I loved walking around and seeing all of their handcrafted furniture, clocks, etc... The items inside were a little on the pricey side but understandably so because of all of the intricately handmade pieces of art that they had for sale. I bought some cool wax-made newspaper candlestick starters for lighting fires that I had never seen anything like before. What a great furniture store in Amana!

On day thirty one, I online shopped…read more I read this great article the other day about present shopping intentionally. (Eco-Friendly, Hand-Made, Small Biz, Woman Owned... etc) It got me inspired. With Mother's Day a whopping THREE weeks away-- I figured I'd both support my local woman-owned small biz and get a gift or two to make a mom in my life feel seen, loved and appreciated. This review is for an online shopping experience at Revival. Their site is easy to use. I love the tabs...from new to sale items. Gifts for under $25 tab, too. They've got a little bit of something for everyone-- but compared to the store, selection is a bit limited. With the lovely lady in my life being 70+ and growing more fearful by the day of this pandemic-- I opted for the Cold & Flu Blend of essential oils. Practical, yet thoughtful. (Annnnnd... I may have gotten something for myself. HEY. I'm a mom, too! Revival has a WONDERFUL Free People selection.) I made my two purchases... got to the dreaded shipping options... and saw all local deliveries are free! I got my package a mere TEN HOURS after ordering it. (Even with a text informing me it had been left on my step.) Support local. Support small. Support women-owned. Support retail during this crazy time. Oh, and don't forget to spoil your momma. Shop Revival!

I went to return them two weeks later when I had time and they let me know they don't accept returns after 10 days even tho they had tags on and clearly had not been worn.

Nice local gem with different inventory every time I go in. Ranges from estate jewelry to antique bar ware. Antique furnishings for any home. There is something for everyone here and I like how all the inventory is placed naturally, like you would in your own home, instead of on shelves. A lot of original, hard to find items here, great place for one of a kind gifts. Lot of pieces of local history here, definitely worth a visit.
