They didn't have the size I was hoping for, but I was told that they order just about weekly and will order the size needed, with shipping out of town being about $8. Not a bad deal so I'll have to keep it in mind. Ashley is the store clerk who helped me, and she was fantastic. They are lucky to have her here.

There is an entire wall dedicated to Melissa & Doug toys and puzzles, along with lots of books, handfuls of stuffed animals, and plenty of other toys to enchant the kiddos. Pricing was relatively on point and I was most impressed with the friendly employee who was more than happy to give us direction and suggestions regarding our dinner options that evening. Next time I'm in the area I'm going to do my due diligence and peruse the front of the store for a little something for myself. Girlfriend Gabby has the gift scenario on lockdown, so if you find yourself scrambling for *something* for **someone** while in downtown Galena, definitely stop on by.

There's boutique soaps, fancy candles, artsy decorations, accessories, the list goes on and on! I just happened across this gem when checking out Krumpets for the first time. What a partnership to have these two neat shops in the Fulton/ Clinton area... And just across the street from one another! They were open the day after Thanksgiving and had quite the Christmas spread. Really pretty and put me in the mood for the holidays. This is a shop you could frequent on the reg and always find a new treasure tucked away on some magical shelf. It's definitely a must when purchasing a gift on the fly. Plus, it's always nice to support local commerce.

I bumped into this great little country antique shop on one of my weekend wanderings around Galena…read more Although the mailing address is Elizabeth, the store is actually located in central Schapville, a small village between Elizabeth and Scales Mound. 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.
