There's aquamarine and opal earrings, peridot and garnet bracelets, diamond and pearl necklaces, emerald and ruby bands...you'll be in awe by the selection inside the long glass cases. I began going as a kid, tagging along with my dad when he would buy my mom piece of jewelry for a special occasion. I loved accompanying him and having a say in what he should get her. The last few years I've gone on my own, spending many hours trying on diamond engagement rings and wedding sets. Sue, the owner, has always been gracious (and patient) in letting me wear and admire ring after ring. Some of her rings have a good story behind them, and I always enjoy hearing where certain pieces came from, their style, etc. (Fun fact: her oldest ring is over 200 years old!) Last December, I FINALLY bought a ring from Paraphernalia, which I like to refer to as my "back up engagement ring". The antique engagement ring--dating back to the 1890s--has a row of five stones of mine-cut diamonds and alternating sapphires. It's simple, it's elegant, and--most importantly--it's from an antique from a shop I cherish. For those of you looking for a piece of jewelry, I encourage you to pay a visit to Paraphernalia before walking into any other jewelry store. Once you see all that glistens and sparkles inside Sue's glass cases, you're going to want to stay awhile and try on all of them.

While this is…read morebilled as a place for those looking for vintage, antiques and salvage, it's really nothing more than a village supported street-side craft fair with two food trucks - one on each end of the street. Sparsely populated with some friendly people running their booths, it's not worth travelling more than 10-15 minutes away to visit, because you can get through the whole "fair" in about 20 minutes. Pictures on their website are out of date, and show when they used to be on larger space with a lot more vendors. Not worth the trip unless your driving by the area and need some handmade soap or a fresh baked loaf of bread or coffee cake.

You do have to pay $5 per person to enter which I didn't know about until I got there. There's a great array of vendors here too for all enthusiasts as well. We spent nearly two hours here. I will say if you're in the area and have been to the French Hens market in Morris, some of the same vendors are also there too. They do have small food and concessions here too. Overall, great place worth checking out

The empty tomb was my favorite part. The trail (with the statues) is free to the public and accessible. You may walk, pray, and take photos. The gift shop is huge and the cashier was nice. I deducted one star due to some of the gift shop items "white washing" Jesus and other biblical figures.

It's July (so it's Hell Hot) We just got home from Uncle Johns Flea Market but will never go back…read more Not because of the vendors or the merchandise' but because parked in the beating sun, was an old rusted red truck with TWO very large dogs panting inside. I could see they were desperately hot and drooling. We asked several people where to get help. Everyone seemed to be aware of the problem and gave directions to the owners of the property, who were driving around in a golf cart. When I found them, they said they notified the dogs owners but that was it. I called the police and prayed they'd come and remove the dogs. The owners got very snippy and threatening when I told them more needed to be done to either remove the dogs or remove the owner from their market, because they were accessories to the crime if they didn't do more to get the dogs removed, or worse, if they died. It's disgusting how greed outweighs the protection of innocent voiceless animals. Dogs hate hot weather just as many of us do, and their wearing fur, they Don't need to be stuffed in an un air conditioned, vinyl seated car, parked with the full sun beating through the windshield or any car in this July heat. I can't support anyone who puts money/profits over lives.
