Great selection of beautiful and unique clothes, jewelry, candles…read more.. The owner is a very nice lady who gave us several discounts when my granddaughters and I checked out. Seems more interested in meeting people and providing a variety of beautiful items than in getting the most money out of you that's possible. I found that so refreshing. The only store in town with that particular vib.

Although I have only been twice, the Shadow Box is an amazing place to go if you are looking for…read moreunique finds. As strange as it is, someone I know has an ever-growing collection of styling heads and wouldn't you know it, the Shadow Box has a plethora available for them to pick through! I also found a really neat retro lamp there that I doubt I could have gotten elsewhere. If you're in the area, I highly recommend checking this place out, as you never know what you're gonna find!

That's fine but when I wanted to go to the car to get cash, owner told me when I went out I wouldn't be able to get back in since he locked the door. So we left with no purchase. Owner needs some customer service training.

They have a very wide variety of items that change daily as vendors refill their booths. The staff is very friendly and full of smiles.

Be sure to check out the little booths not on the main aisles. Clean bathrooms and friendly staff make this a must stop as I'm passing through. Easy on and off the expressway, with a Shell gas station right across the road. Stop in and help the local economy while feeding you collection of whatever you might collect. It is all here!

This was such a frustrating trip. There was a sign on the door saying to wear a mask, and we would…read morenot have entered otherwise. After we had already breathed the air in their poorly ventilated store for awhile, we noticed that several of the employees were not wearing masks AT ALL. I brought it to the attention of perhaps the manager or owner, who was also not wearing a mask. She told me that the people at the counter were required to wear masks. I told her that they were not all wearing them. She argued that they were. I told her that I had literally just seen them and that she could look for herself. She then changed her story, saying that the CDC does not require them to wear masks. I would prefer to shop places that do not put their customers lives at risk and argue with them for no reason. I DO NOT recommend this place to anyone and will never return...even after the end of this global pandemic.

It reminds me of a little log cabin. We go inside and I am startled by a life size statue...doll...not sure what it was...of a Native American. It scared the heck out of me! lol There was no one around which gave me an eerie feeling. Every time I would see something interesting, it would have a tag that it wasn't for sale. I don't like that. Don't tease me. lol There was lots of dolls, china and old bottles, lots of nickie naks. The place felt tired and worn. Lots of dust everywhere. Not sure we'll be back, but if you're looking for something specific...like R. S. Prussia china or dolls, you might want to stop in here. As we climbed back into the Jeep, a lady poked her head out the front door and called out she was open. Hubby said, we know...we were just in there. I have no idea where she had been.
