This definitely skews towards an unusual collection of shops that sell specialized items and antiques. There are also options for salon, spa, personal, travel, and educational services in addition to the shopping. With that said, this is worth a visit just to see the botique mall set in an old ice house. Chessie's in a railroad dining car built by Pullman is quite interesting as well as the original Barrington Train Station exterior that it was built on. The mall itself has a very unique look to it that is something rare to see and experience -- even if you are just walking through the common areas.

We had driven around the square in Woodstock, determined to continue on our trip to Minneapolis,…read morewhen either my boyfriend's mom or sister noticed a little shop tucked in among the other stores. They convinced my boyfriend to make another loop around the square and park in front of the quaint shop because we had to check it out. I'm so glad they made us turn around. The Backdrop is a find that is chock full of so many other great finds. This is a gift shop that makes you want to buy a few things for yourself -- which I did. The Backdrop has cards, pillows, trinkets, jewelry, novelty books, home decor and other doo-dads a-plenty. We spent more than the five minutes we told my boyfriend we would take perusing everything. And so many of the finds were very affordable, such as the locket I got for about $15 and a print about beer for $12. The owners -- or at least I believe they are the owners -- were also great to chat with. They had actually been down to Kentucky for Kentucky Crafted, and they had a better knowledge of past Kentucky governors than I have. It was nice to talk to someone who is passionate and easy to talk to about my fave state. It's probably good that I don't live in Woodstock or else I spend way too much money at The Backdrop on a regular basis.

Learning to speak Klingon can be a daunting task. You don't want to pronounce something incorrectly…read moreand find you've just called some temperamental Klingon a butthead by accident. So you can see why it came in so handy when I happened upon this cute shop in Woodstock Square that sold a book teaching Klingon. The Backdrop is one of the more unusual home decor shops I've ever come across. I could look for hours and spend a fortune. There are a lot of unique items such as the aforementioned Klingon book (see pic), weird and creepy mounted doll heads, beeswax art, beautiful handmade jewelry, and a ton of truly unique home decor. It is probably my favorite shop in Woodstock. I feel like you can find something for everyone at this store. If issued the challenge, I dare say I could buy for everyone on my Christmas list here. I could certainly buy a bunch for myself! Items found here are moderate to pricey, but you are definitely paying for a carefully curated collection of items, and in my book, unique equals special, so I very much appreciate finding items here I can't elsewhere. Everything here is unique, even items not for sale, like foam core cutouts and painted decor (that you would never believe were made from foam core in a million years), or yard sticks mounted and used as display shelves. Inspiring is the word I would use. You can really get your creative juices flowing after a saunter through the store. You will think of all sorts of home projects with The Backdrop as the inspiration. As a graphic designer, I admire the imaginative and innovative selections and executions. As a Klingon, I demand it.

We spent about an hour here and still did not see everything. The prices seem average and sometimes a bit expensive. The only thing I really dislike is seeing AI art and modern item.

First time visiting. It is a very large shop. We spent one hour there and only looked at half the…read moreshop. I started off really impressed with the store. It is brightly lit. Each vendor's kiosk is clean and nicely decorated. My impression started to fall down when I used the ladies restroom and discovered that there was no toilet paper in any of the 3 stalls. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this until I had chosen a stall that I thought had paper in it. So no toilet paper for me. There are signs in the restroom advising patrons to let a staff member know if the bathroom needs attending to. I'm supposed to do your job? Shortly after we went to the check out desk. I had a simple pair of earrings. The check out desk had at least 4 women doing various tasks. Only 1 woman was checking out the customer before us. I honestly don't mean to sound disrespectful, but whenever you have 3 elderly customers huddled around the check out desk with the one cashier, it is a sure bet that the transaction is going to take an extra long time. And that it did. None of the other 3 women acknowledged me to signal that they could check me out so I didn't have to wait for the 3 elderly people to finish. After about 5 minutes one of the managers signaled to me "one moment". So I expected her to put down the task she was working on and check me out. Didn't happen. She continued to do her task as did the other 2 women and I continued to wait! After another 5 minutes or so, a worker came to the check out desk, set up and finally checked me out. I did not appreciate having to wait at least 10 minutes (maybe more?) to check out when I was the only one in line. IMO, a customer waiting to check out should take precedence over clerks doing other tasks. I want to return to look through the other half of the store that I did not have time to see. But frankly, the check out experience left a bad taste in my mouth so I am not in a hurry to return.
