My wife found several pieces of religious things at great prices. At the end, everything was wrapped carefully and there's lots of parking.

This is a store that has antique booths in it but it has other crafty booths as well. It kind of…read morehas a yard sale feel. There was a booth that had tons of old toys that I remembered from my childhood and that was cool. It is worth dropping in because there are a lot of things to look at but I also saw some items that were overpriced. Check it out if you like a collection of random items old and new!

What a great stop for antiques! Great pricing, good people and a $8,500 working jukebox. Clean,…read morewell organized, and you can see the tags to the merchandise. The parking is on an an angle out front so if you have a big truck you will stick out. We walked away with a flower vase and a glass Pepsi bottle. So impressed with this stop.

What a find !! This unassuming shop appeared to be a small residence, but was actually a very…read morelarge treasure trove of antiques. Slow down as you approach the address, as it's set back from the street. Look for the large lit sign and banners, then pull in the shared driveway to a small private lot and get ready for a great shopping experience. The couple that operate the store were extremely friendly and helpful. They buy and sell! The store seems to specialize in glassware, ceramics, crystal, china, and other household items - but there are also toys, games, model trains, Disneyana, and even a beautiful Seeberg Jukebox waiting for their next proud owner! There's also some nice antique furniture, cabinets, chairs, bookcases and the like. No junk! Prices clearly marked! And the prices generally seemed pretty reasonable. And cabinets are unlocked so you can browse and select without needing to wait for the key!! We bought a full set of beautiful last century Christmas ornaments, an aluminum drinkware set, a 60's NASA commemorative glass, and a pair of beaded pears for about $30!! A great antique store in the Greater Saint Louis area, minutes from Afton IL, just across the Mississippi! We will be back!!

What an adorable little antique shop!…read more The women working there were so nice to us when we came in, and very friendly. There were booths full of all sorts of things. Everything from dinnerware to clothes, to jewelry and toys, and books and craft supplies and cradles and kitsch. We could have spent so much time digging around in here. We weren't looking for anything specific, just spending a lazy day wandering town. I ended up buying a super cute Halloween cookie plate for a steal at $5. This is a hidden gem of a spot, and I'd definitely visit again if I'm ever in Alton again.

The guy behind the counter (owner?) was so nice and very helpful, but stayed out of the way, which is what I personally prefer. If you're in the area, it's worth a look.

Not sure if they worked there or not, but they never took their eyes from several young girls. Maybe they were looking at flies flying around from the filthy store.
