My friend and I finally got a chance to visit Odd Bettie's this weekend! The second we stepped in…read morethe door, we were in awe. There are so many unique and quirky knick knacks, tons of quality clothing, and the craziest faux frog purse I've ever seen. They have organized each "theme" of item in a certain area, so it's really easy to get around. They even have an upstairs with even more items! By far one of the more friendly and welcoming businesses in the area. The owner ended up talking with us for a while too to give us a thorough history of the business's progress throughout the year. Her passion for the store and the products is obvious (: 10/10 would go again!! Go check out what you can find!

To be REALLY honest the Antique Archaeology shop in LeClaire is kind of a tourist trap... But it's…read morea cool tourist trap if you're a fan of American Pickers...! The shop itself (divided between two buildings) is much smaller in person than it appears on TV. There's a lot more Antique Archaeology swag for sale than actual antiques... The staff we encountered were just regular run of the mill retail workers...none the TV personalities. Not that I really expected to run into Mike. Lol For me the best part of the visit was a photo op with the old car out front branded with the business logo (a dilapidated 1950-1951 Nash Statesman Super). And with the motorcycles and other larger antiques on display... LeClaire, situated along the Mississippi River, is a nice little area in and of itself... There are MANY other shops, antique stores, restaurants, and attractions in LeClaire to check while you're there! Along with LeClaire... Clinton, Muscatine, and the Quad Cities aren't far and it's an easy trip to visit aspects of them in a single day or in an overnight trip. Please know I'm sure not trying to discourage you from stopping and checking out the Antique Archaeology shop...! Far from it! It's pretty cool for what it is. Especially if you are a fan of the show...! Just trying to help you manage your expectations a little... Don't put it on a 5 star pedestal before you get there.

On a recent trip heading back from Chicago you to my ranch just south of Kansas City I took a road less traveled and noticed the old mower shop in my home town or Monmouth had closed but something caught me eye. Actually, a lot of things caught my eyes. What's this? An antique shop? We've all seen plenty of those but this appeared to be more. Unfortunately, the place was closed so I looked them up on Facebook as I saw they didn't open the next day until 10 and I had many miles to go so I didn't want to delay my departure so imagine my surprise when the owner emailed me back and offered to open early so I could check this place out. I've always been a guy who likes crusty industrial pieces but also appreciate many antique pieces and boy did this place deliver. They had it all and the owner is a kindred spirit as we both appreciated many of the same things. In no time my pile of "can't live without that" grew. This place was a goldmine but not just for folks looking for the things I was, their architectural salvage selection was incredible and I only wished I had my list of door and window sizes as this place is full of beautiful and functional pieces unlike the cheapo crap you can buy at the big box stores that cost you many times more. I ended up filling up my truck with items that not only were beautiful but also extremely affordable. Much better pricing than I've seen elsewhere to the point I didn't even try to negotiate but I suspect I could have but with a selection like that combined with their prices I damn near had to pinch myself for my good luck and having such a wonderful owner who herself is a true artist that has a passion to rescue and give a second life to pieces worth preserving. As Arnold says.... "I'll be back". The shop, selection, prices and most definitely the owner were kick ass in my book. Thank you CherIt Forward
