Also, make sure that you've got time to browse-there are two stories of awesome finds! Lot's of antiques, art, vintage clothing and more. Big collection of vintage cookbooks and cookware. The store reminded me of antiquing with my mom and had me wanting to bring her ASAP. You can tell that the store's owner takes a lot of pride into her business and the store is a reflection of that. I bought two really lovely bookmarks. I'm looking forward to a return visit soon.

Based on the hours and their website, the store looked like it was open to the public and I didn't realize I was tresspassing...it is not a store, it is private property.

I have left at least 4 messages with staff at the store, sent 5 emails, and left messages on Facebook and Instagram. I was charged for an item that was a Christmas gift and not only have the recipients not received their item NO ONE has contacted me for a status update, or refund. Absolutely ridiculous!!! I plan to report them and am working with my bank to get a refund!!!! The item was $188 so it's not like it was a small gift. Such a bad business and experience!

The young man and woman that were there, we super friendly and helpful. They were so personable and took time to explain the background of many items.

I also bought something for myself. I will certainly keep Authentique in mind for any gift giving occasion or if I want something cute for my home!

It had been a hot minute since I'd been to a Hallmark shop, so it was a treat to revisit the familiar warmth. I had a very specific need of finding a birthday card, but I ended up looking around the store to browse thru longer than I had planned. Definitely tons more cards to choose from compared to any other shops. I loved how the sections were labeled by proper occasions as well as your target audience. Wife Birthday was the first section I visited, then moved onto general Birthday section, where I found and decided on series of Funny Birthday cards. There were a couple adorable cat themed ones that had music and sound attached, but they were going to cost me double the normal prices, so I decided against it. I still like the one I picked out. :-) Ladies at the counter were all very attentive and pleasant. I don't know how often I'd come back to shop, but I got reeled into signing up for their rewards program. If I ever need to find small cute gifts for my girls, I'll definitely remember to visit.

There were the obligatory tools, paints, yard stuff and then in the back there were cards and city candles (Lake Bluff you smell good), housewares, knickknacks and whatnots. I was only here to purchase yard waste stickers and that plastic thing that goes on your windshield to keep your vehicle sticker from gooping up the glass (yup, they had it), but I also bought a zip code towel and candy. I could have bought a lot more but I'll pace myself. This is across from Sunset Foods so I know I'll come back.

I wouldn't hesitate to use Joseph's again in the future or to recommend them to anyone looking for décor needs. We didn't use them for florals, but we would definitely do so in the future!
