Inside, you'll find upscale houseware, gifts and a section in back of children's clothing and accessories. There's even a smattering of cool vintage stuff here and there - like a giant bingo number board salvaged from a local church. The owners grew up in the area and moved back to start the business which is cool. So all you hipsters who just finished up a tour at New Glarus, head in in for that perfect piece to display in your downtown condo.

There are varying price ranges, Amish items, signs, comic books, Hot Wheels, cast iron, food, coffee, etc. We spent a good hour here to stretch our legs while traveling. So much variety exists here, and walking to all the different floors to check things out is a fun adventure. There are a lot of things to peruse, and plenty of the items trigger various childhood memories. It's like taking a trip down memory lane in some of the rooms. I can't imagine anyone regretting stopping in at this place - it's hard not to walk out with something every time we go. Even if it's not something for us, we find plenty of gifts for other people.

But... we expected more Quality items but instead there are plenty of booths with 3D printing toys, items from AliExpress and Temy, while glass cabinets of shampoo, soaps and conditioner and even old Bath and Body works products. Some booth has really nice kitchen items and organized beautifully but prices out of this world. As people who do toy shows and selling $$$$ of vintage toys, we definitely don't have a competition there, but as a customer I don't have an urge going back there at all. I was looking at CD, DVDs and Vinyl and most of that's stuff wasn't organized and I got tired of looking. Also you can buy physical media cheaper at record stores. Most of theirs are $5 a piece. It's too much for DVD less it's more desirable. So I am not sure how I feel about it. Same with CDs and vinyl. There is definitely no 70-90s toys, saw maybe a couple here and there. It's really good and clean store. But nothing to come back to.

LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE…read more Vintage Bliss is what happens when your Mom's Pinterest had a little too much and barfed up a store full of perfectly curated, vintage inspired, wine themed stuff. Throw pillows with slogans? They got 'em. Furniture refinished with chalkboard paint? Oh yeah. Wall hangings with inspirational sayings about living, laughing AND loving? Say no more, fam. VB is kind of in the middle of nowhere but the Lake Geneva moms seem to have it on the radar, with good reason. You won't find any dusty crap or musty old garbage here - everything is beautifully arranged, perfectly displayed and honestly, pretty reasonably priced. They have helpful and kind staff and even measuring tapes in strategic spots to help you out, so strap on that Michael Kors handbag and get ready to SPEND! Most of this isn't my personal style but I didn't leave without a few heavenly smelling candles and a sassy greeting card. Perfect place to find a nice gift for the lady in your life who needs a "wine o'clock" sign or a "chop it like it's hot" tea towel. NGL, was tempted by that last one.

And not to easy to find, I may add. There are lots of unmarked divergent paths out here in the boonies! So just keep an open mind and an adventuresome spirit. Schapville is so small that there are only two "stores," this one and the pop machine next door. When I arrived, I was greeted by a very friendly old dog named Stanley. This is a seasonal business, so you need to come between May and October. The store is a beautifully renovated old grange space used by area farmers. It offers a selection of fine antiques, and a nice array of same on two floors, a cooler with local cheeses (they were featuring one of my favorites that day-Iowa Maytag Bleu.) There is soda, homemade jams and jellies and other condiments, and fresh eggs from the owner's chickens. There is kind of an overall chicken theme going on here, just short of chicken worship, I would stay. The owner, Donna, is a fun and interesting person to chat with. Free fresh popcorn, too. There's a wood stove with a fire near the front and a seating area which is very inviting. Definitely a must-stop in Jo Daviess County if you are looking for a nice little jaunt out of Galena, or doing a day trip in the area east of The Galena Territory. The scenery is superb.
