Wow...what a charming diamond in the rough... with beautiful Monroe county as a back drop…read more We Had the chicken rice casserole, asparagus quiche, Parma crusted chicken breast stuffed with provel, mushrooms, spinach, and a light, harmonious blend of herbs Also enjoyed chicken salad sandwich and buttermilk pie ( sort of a cross between creme brûlée and custard ). All FANTASTIC and highly recommended! Only negatives are; * limited menu and limited hours ( but as the delightful owner/only cook, Jeannette puts it: "She's it."). You have to check web-site daily to see that day's whimsical menu. * maybe nit picking but view on webpage is not their view... Still pretty though. A few tips: 1. Make a rez (small place and she has to turn people away sometimes) ...be a shame to drive all that way and not eat. 2. It's not too too hard to find...looking for the signs helps. Best to use directions from their website rather than mapquest ( which has some mileage off) both work though. * There is no town really of "Fults, IL"...nearest quaint town is Maeystown for a drive through on way back via Bluff road. On that note, HIGHLY recommend driving back via BLUFF ROAD. Melissa, the farmer's daughter (I know, and shame on you), will tell you how to get there...it's real easy...bucolic, river valley farmland on your left, river bluffs on your right Just as fast back to stl as route 3, ...but what do you care ...it's the journey as much as the destination, right? :) Hope this helped, John

Yesterday two friends and I drove across the JB Bridge, through Columbia and Waterloo to Kaskaskia…read moreRd., then on about another 6 miles or so to find a recommended lunch place. The drive was less than 20 minutes from the bridge, good roads and farmland. It would be lovely with fall color! Signage begins at Kaskaskia road, so it was not difficult to find. When we arrived we parked at the remodeled barn than houses the restaurant and gift shop. There are two outdoor dining areas as well as a few tables inside. The owner and her daughters welcomed us warmly. Jeannette, the owner, makes all of the food, locally grown whenever possible. Each of us had either spinach or asparagus quiche and it was light, creamy and delicious! It came with a Italian style green salad and fresh bread. One of us had cheesecake with strawberries that Jeannette had grown and frozen herself. The other two had buttermilk pie simply because we had always heard of it but never tried it... also delicious, topped with freshly whipped cream. We were seated near the kitchen and Jeannette chatted with us amiably while she tossed fresh salads for each order and warmed dishes individually for the guests. It was as though we were dining with a friend. They serve bottled water and soda as well as wine and beer. The gift shop has very cute items such as you would see in any nice gift boutique. Although lunch, water and dessert ran each of us $18+, all three of us intend to return. With the cooler weather Jeannette promises to add pot pie to the menu which changes with available ingredients and her mood.

Ten pictures are far too few to showcase this shop's beautifully curated collection, but these are a handful of our favorites. My husband and I were especially drawn to the honey, tea, fruit spreads, seasonings, and kitchenware; we are foodies after all. Bundle up to support Urban Matter this week, and be sure to give yourself plenty of time to browse. There's a lot to shop!

The shop isn't big at all, however, it has all the snacks you need to get through the day, night, and conference. Ha! As there isn't a store close, Niva St. Louis Gift Shop provided as your grab and go for anything you need. With the assortment of items within the store, you can grab your toiletries if you forgot something as well as some quick gifts to take home with you. Though everything has a higher price point than a trip to Walmart, the higher price point is worth the convenience of not having to leave the hotel and take a rideshare. Niva St. Louis Gift Shop has def been my go to for the past three days. Along with being a go to, the staff is super friendly and have been a pleasure to engage with.

Cannot recommend stopping in here enough!

When I lived in STL, I was a regular shopper at Abigail's. When I shopped, I always knew I'd find…read morethe perfect gift, or something just for me. I now shop their website and still find exactly what I want and need. I am a garden flag guy. I have multiple post and change the flags on the regular. My collection of flags celebrate, holidays, local sports teams, pets, pride and my foodie personality. Since STL added a new sports team, I needed a new garden flag to support them. I was on-line researching and found one. I was getting ready to purchase my new City SC flag when a e-mail from Abigail's popped into my in-box. I cannot explain why I stopped my purchase and went to check my new mail, but I'm glad I did. Lucky for me the e-mail was announcing their new merchandise promoting, City SC. I went back and cancelled my order I was doing with a major retailer and placed an order with Abigail's. I prefer to support a small business, then pad the pockets of a major retailer. My package arrived in just a couple days. I received text messages telling me, they received my order and then telling me it had shipped. When I opened my package, it had a hand written note, thanking me for supporting a small business. This is the second business who has done that for me, this month. If you need a unique gift, I recommend shopping at Abigail's. However, if you're a shopaholic, beware, you my lose self-control.
