What an adorable shop to peruse! From the outside, this place doesn't look like much, but it's packed full of fun curiosities, oddities, antiques, and amazing finds, and there are rooms in places that don't look possible from the view from the parking lot.
While walking through the shop, I discovered some great collectibles for train geeks, an I Love Lucy Barbie in a sealed box, books from the early 1900s, and tons of rubber ducks!
Who cares about the ducks, you ask? As I'm preparing to go on a Carnival cruise, I do. For the uninitiated, there's an unofficial duck hunt that takes place on Carnival cruise ships. People bring with them and hide rubber ducks on the ship. Passengers find them and either re-hide them or keep and collect them. Those who hide the ducks write a website on the bottom of them for the finders to visit. That's where you post that you have found the duck.
But back to the shop. I was there with my mom and a couple of her friends. It was my first time visiting, so I was a slower shopper than they were, so by the time I made my way through, I found them sitting on a bench at the front of the store. Good to know for those of you with husbands or friends who aren't as fond of shopping: there's a place for them to chill while you shop. I also noticed a small snack shop at the back of the store, but it did not appear to be open during our visit.
I bought ten of those little ducks for 98-cents each, an I Love Lucy coffee mug, and a Nancy Drew cookbook from the mid-1900s. During checkout, I noticed the store was selling $1.00 tickets for a basket raffle. The basket was a Buffalo Bills theme, and looked like a great grab for a Bills fan. It's my understanding they often have basket raffles going on, with baskets sponsored by different vendors in the store.
If you're in Spencerport and you love to browse, this is a worthwhile stop. If you're looking for unique gifts or decor for your home, it's also worth checking out. And if you're a vendor looking for a spot to sell your goods, this looks like a really nice place to display and sell them. read more
