The owner is 95, sweet as apple pie, and will unfortunately be closing her business next summer. Art deco glass, vintage dinnerware, vintage tools, smalls of every kind, furniture, etc. Stuff in here is stacked and packed. In some aisles it's tough to turn around. Just back out slowly. If you can't find something here to take home you were just window shopping to begin with. A real hidden gem of a shop.

I am beyond thrilled with this business! I took my wedding ring to a nationally known jewelry store…read morein West Des Moines and was given a quote of $563 to repair it. I stuck it in a drawer and did nothing with it due to the cost. A friend told me to try a local jeweler so I went to Royal Jewelers since it is a block from work. It did take quite awhile to get the repair done (4 months), but it was well worth it! It is gorgeous and perfect and the quote was only $70!! He said he had to do a little more gold work than he thought once he started working on it. I offered to pay more because of that, but he would not hear of it. Great experience!

I couldn't get enough of that seasonal Christmas candles. These would make amazing gifts for the holidays. While wandering the store I found two ceramic glitter snow birds that I had to take home. All of the clearance last season items were located in the restroom area. Usually all marked down 20 to 50%. When we went to leave, all of the barn cats were wandering the parking lot. Some were very friendly. Stop on by if you're looking for a unique gift for someone. Can't wait to be back to see what new items they have come in!

I also donate quite a bit of items that someone else may enjoy. Best of all, I know that my donations are used to support the clients/residents served by New Hope! It's win-win for everyone!
