There is a lovely assortment of high quality cottons in many colors and themes. What I especially love is that sometime quilt shops stick with very traditional fabrics. The Red Hen has a terrific assortment of traditional, modern, patriotic, etc. I fell in love with some bold, vibrant paisley fabric and already have plans for it. The prices are exceptional. There is nothing priced over $10.00 per yard.

To walk out excited, with more than 2 items for less than $10 IE: Beauty products are a big thing with me, and with the thrift competition, by experience, the prices are increased more than decreaed, but the Washington branch stands alone when pricing. This store you won't find garbage on the floors, dirty changing rooms or smelly bathrooms. It's not uncommon for what thrift shoppers have to put up with for a good bargain these days. When I visit, this place is always my first stop and sometimes, my last stop in one day. Yes, it's that good.

Fairfield's stone, crystal, and gem dealer! This is a cool…read moreshop right on the Fairfield town square! It's a neat Native American store with lots of stuff from lots of tribes across the Midwest and Southwest. I'm originally from New Mexico, so I could recognize a lot of the Navajo and Hopi designs that they had around the store. They carried a lot of drums, dream catchers, and other tribal goods. When I went, there was a guy shopping for drums, and I was impressed to see their selection of tribal drums that they had to offer the guy! The offer lots in the way of stones. The shop has even made little placards that explain the healing powers of each stone. If you have certain maladies, you can get a crystal to put on your chakras to alleviate the problem. The selection is amazing. Whatever your problem is, they have a beautiful stone to cure it. Even if you're not into the stones as a healing mindset, it's still a really cool rock shop with beautiful specimens of lots of wonderful stones at quite reasonable prices, and so what if they'll also cure your migraines! They also have incense, smudges, and herbs. Parking can be a bit challenging, since it's right on the busy square. They have a friendly little dog that'll greet you at the door, he's cute!

I was blessed to meet Ed and Judi Fox and their "little girls" Heyoka and Tate last year. The love,…read moreintegrity and knowledge they possess on Native American lineage makes me want to sit at their feet and listen to the Lakota history explained by their storytelling skills for hours at a time. Plus there is no place better to receive love, hugs and lickies than from the two "little girls." Every time I enter the store I find "gems" for my heart and soul. Don't just go in to browse; go in to be regaled with the past, present and future of a culture. In case you can't tell. I love this family. Shellagh

I can't recommend this store enough. I ordered two tins and a box of a French Provence tea that I…read morecouldn't find anywhere else, they were reasonably priced, and the whole experience was wonderful. As soon as they realized one of the tins was out of stock, they emailed me. The note was sweet and apologetic, and they even included another tea in my package as a gift, which I really appreciated. What really stood out, though, was how my order arrived. Each tea was carefully wrapped and tied with a bow. I order a lot online, and it's been a while since I've received something packaged with that much thought and care. It was such a simple touch, but it made the order feel special. From start to finish, they were thoughtful and genuinely cared about their customer. I will definitely be ordering from them again.

I can't walk out of this place emtpy-handed because of the beautiful baubles they have to make me feel like a gourmet chef. I also absolutely adore the gorgeous knitting/crocheting supplies in the back half of the story. it is visually an adventure to take in all of the rich colors and textures. When visiting Fairfield, I find it difficult to resist this shop. Treat yourself and go in for a peek. You will love it!!!

Your Halloween Headquarters! This place is a great place to…read moreshop for weird Fairfield knickknacks and tchotchkes. This place is on Burlington, one of the biggest streets through town. It's a relatively new building, with good lighting and a great parking lot. It's not on any kind of hard corner. The shop is clean and well lit inside. I found lots and lots of viable halloween costume options here. The staff had even gone through and sorted the costumes based on genres. I got out with a HUGE cat head that fits over your head like a mascot's. Score! They have all kinds of strange stuff in here, and bargains abound. I wonder whose houses some of these candles and coffee mugs come from. But I'm happy to scrounge through them and find the cool ones!
