This used to be one store, but they have expanded to the shop next door so there are actually 2 shops. Prices are decent but you need to know your price points. The only problem I saw was the staff seemed to be preoccupied with everything/anything else they were doing. One employee was standing at the front of the store by the checkout area on his phone looking up prices, via Siri. Not an overly professional way to show off your knowledge or lack there of.

It was my first visit to Lafayette and we had just eaten there right before the store so it was an awesomely coincidental souvenir. The lady working the checkout counter (I think she was the owner) was super friendly. The roads all around them are under construction so it took us a few tries to get in to the parking lot. She was staging a tableau of items to sell on Facebook live, I thought that was a pretty cool way to combat the reduced sales. They are on Instagram also.

It is worth a trip to Battleground to check out Shoup House. It is located in an old, two-story…read morehouse. The outside is kind of cluttered and could use some attention, but don't let that keep you away. The inside is great. Lots of rooms, as typical for an old home, and every room is full! They carry antiques as well as some reproductions and decorating, but if you are looking strictly for antiques, no worries. There are plenty! Nice ladies run the place, and they are always good to work with and fun to talk to. I always come away with several items, often unusual and cool stuff. There are a couple of diners/restaurants in town, so it is a nice destination for lunch and a bit of antiquing. So, all in all, Battleground isn't really an antique town, but for us, Shoup House is a destination, in itself. Go, but save some good stuff for me!

While visiting Battle Ground, IN to see the historical, Tippecanoe battlefield where General…read moreHarrison and the Shawnee chief, Tenskwatwa (or The Prophet), fought and started one of the sparks which would become the War of 1812, we stumbled across another historical site - The Shoup House. There's nothing I love more than museums and antique shops so I was in 7th heaven this particular day. Shoup House Antiques is everything I want in an antique shop. It was like someone read my mind and fabricated this special place just for me. My vacation cottage is only 1500 sq. ft. with average to low ceilings, small bedrooms and an open floor plan where the common rooms are. I don't have a lot of free wall space and even less floor space so I can't really fit antique furniture (the kind that obviously belong in homes like The Shoup House or grand Victorians) in here. What I can do is buy little accent pieces to create wonderful vignettes on my night stand, shallow shelf nook, library wall, etc. The Shoup House carries antiques and European inspired reproductions. I am a huge lover of all things from Ballard Designs and Restoration Hardware, and I found similar, if not identical, items here and for even less. I bought a beautiful table top Santos figure for $9.00 which sells for $39.00 in Ballard Deigns catalog. The oval wall clock which sold out for $82.00 was $49.00 at The Shoup House. My favorite purchase though is an architectural piece where someone talented had taken gorgeous, old tin ceiling tiles and molded them against a wood frame to create a 5' long x 18" high wall shelf for only $45.00. I feel like I stole this piece. It was so hard to keep myself from buying all the things I have coveted for so long in those catalogs and in the stores, like wire cloche bells, shabby chic balusters and columns, large b&w canvas map of downtown Chicago, antique bird cages, leather armchairs with nail head trim, etc. If I could buy the house with all the antiques in it, I could happily live here not moving a thing and consider myself at home. It's also fun to peruse all the different, 11 rooms of the house where everything is organized neatly and artistically in primitive or shabby chic cupboards, armoires and shelves, on the walls, from the ceilings, in the closets, on the porch and along the staircases. Almost every inch is packed full of antiques and decorative items, but it doesn't feel cramped or overwhelming. I haven't been this in love with a store in a few years so yes, my review is long and exuberant because I'm still giddy from my visit and discovery of this fabulous antique shop.

I have been to Trader Buck's on more than a dozen occassions and I ALWAYS find something I didn't…read moreeven know I was looking for! Sometimes I stroll through without an intended purpose and sometimes there is something specific I am looking for and I have yet to be disappointed. Yes, some of the booths need their owners to take better care of the pieces they are "trying" to sell and to attempt to "display" them in some fashion but Trader Buck can only police that to a certain degree. I have noticed that some booths have big bulky items that have crazy price tags on them that you could buy the item brand new for less. It appears to me those people are probably just storing those items and know no one is going to pay that. Having said that, I know right where those booths are and they get a glance and I never stop to shop in them. The above mentioned booths that are crazy messy, take the time to poke around. You never know what you might find and you might find something you just didn't know you were looking for as I have found many good deals. It is like garaging sales without buring the gas to drive all over town. Items I have found: ~5 shelf bookcase that I converted into a Cat Tree-less than $15 ~Desk with a slide down top and removable shelves that I converted into a stero stand and albumn display-less than $20 ~Medium dog bed that has since been taken over by our felines-less than $5 ~Foot stool with removable top that I converted into a toy box for my grand daughter-less than $10 ~ White wicker small coffee table for patio that I gave a fresh coat of paint and is now an adorable night stand-less than $20 ~Whte wicker stool that I have converted into the base of a bassinet stand-less than $15 ~2 bar stools that I gave a fresh coat of paint and they look wonderful in my kitchen-less than $5 a piece!! ~small picnic basket that we use as a bread box complete with brand new plastic setting for 4-less than $20 ~beautiful clear glass lamp with frosted flowers-$4!! Heading there now to browse around and see what I find that I didn't know I needed!! Give it a chance but take your time. Nothing good happens fast!

Her husband Bill specializes in making spoon rings out of antique spoons ($35), some spoons are sterling silver ($50-$80). You can have the ring you select sized for you. If you decide to do this, it is helpful to be wearing a ring that fits well to give him a starting point. There are many copper handmade items that can be used as the charm of a bracelet or the pendant of a necklace. Each charm is geniously displayed on metal trays held on by a magnet. I bought a gingerbread man charm ($20) and it came with either a leather strap for a necklace, or metal links with a lobster claw clasp for a bracelet. Also on display, are sterling silver antique charms that Melody stated she gets from a reclaimer (if she didn't purchase them, they would be melted down). I bought a sterling silver spoon ring ($65) and a unique reclaimed handmade sterling ring ($15). I also found a cute hummingbird pin costume jewelry piece ($5). I got an attractive silver chain necklace with a marquisite cross and a Celtic charm all from her reclaimed section. This is a good place to get a gift at the last moment and a great store to browse frequently to see what's new !
