Scout is one of those stores where, when you step inside, you're like, "Yep, I want all of this…read morestuff." This store is full of wonderfully and carefully curated items, and most of these items wanted to follow me home. But these things would also make great gifts for a loved one, if you're looking for a gift. This boutique store has a lot of things for kids, which is neat. There's a whole little section just for kids' clothing and accessories. Mostly, though, you'll find women's clothing, women's accessories, plus random things like candles, handbags, bath bombs, hair clips and things like that. There are a lot of cool things at Scout, and you're bound to find the perfect thing that you didn't know you needed.

I only became aware of Scout recently and stopped by today on their one year anniversary. Super…read morecute home furniture/decor/gifts boutique. It reminds me of the kind of boutiques I would shop when I lived in Chicago and Austin and that I miss. Scout carries a fun variety. There is top quality vintage furniture and home goods with plenty of new products as well. You can find Baggu reusable bags, fun stationary, quirky gifts like Queer Eye or Golden Girls candles, stickers, and keychains. Today there was even a plant pop-up shop. The owner is the operator and is very friendly. I truly hope this store does well as it fills a niche here in Lafayette that we don't have otherwise. I only worry that not enough people know about this little gem. My only "complaints" would be that I want MORE! More hours (right now they're only open from Wed-Sat 10-3 which means I can only make it on a Saturday) and more inventory! More stationary, and small inventory.

On their website, The Ollie Closet says that they're the best vintage store in Lafayette, and I…read morethink that declaration might be true. This is a dope store with some really interesting threads. Have I sold it enough to you with my adjectives? Just go and visit, and you'll see what I mean. This vintage store is two stories of clothing, accessories, shoes, hats and miscellaneous paraphernalia from bygone decades. Everything is well organized (I would even go so far as to say that this store is pristine!), and the racks of clothing are spaced out nicely, so it doesn't feel cramped at all. In fact, the store is very bright and airy and pleasant to walk around. Upstairs, you'll find more clothes, but also a corner with a couch and a movie playing on a TV. You can just sit and chill for a while, if you want. When I visited, it was some black-and-white film playing on a DVD player. The prices are about what I would expect at a well-curated vintage clothing store. They have a lot of good stuff here, and they know it.

Loved this antique mall in downtown Frankfort. The proprietor, Rich Essick, purchased the building…read moreonly 2 years ago, but kept the original name. He told us the the building originally was a chicken hatchling house. The original sign hangs behind his counter. The store is extensive yet easy to get around. Aisles are wide and it is easy to see the merchandise. They carry a great assortment of local antiques and vintage items. Prices range from low to high depending on the item. Glassware is nicely displayed. The upstairs is filled with furniture. He carries an interesting selection of old pipes and campaign buttons. To get to the store, you need to maneuver around road construction, but it is worth it. Rich is super friendly. We will be back.

My friend and I drove to Frankfort to check out a few antique shops. Frankfort has several nice…read moreantique shops and is worth the drive from Indy. There is also a few nice restaurants on the square if you'd like to dine while there. Peddler's Alley was close to the square so we stopped to check it out. The building is much larger than it appears from the outside. Convenient parking is in front of the shop. I was warmly greeted as I entered and I immediately headed to a gorgeous fireplace mantle close by. The grouping was gorgeous with the mantle, area rug, chandelier, willow branches, rocking chair and other home decor items. The large shop has several rooms filled with mid-century furniture, prints, lamps, home decor, candles, glassware, stained glass and so much more. If you enjoy browsing or looking for something specific stop in Peddler's Alley and explore this clean, well organized shop. The owner is friendly and helpful but allows you to browse at your spend. Stop in.

Her shop is immaculate,…read morewell organized, beautiful groupings on tables and furniture, in-trend colors and something for those who enjoy primitive, antiques, traditional, country and farmhouse styles. Displays are well spaced apart so you're not bumping into other shoppers. Or as in our case, room for my friend to walk easily between displays with her walker. The owner was kind enough to allow her to sit on several chairs as she needed to rest a few times while browsing the shop. (Side effects of Covid-19). Currently the Easter decor is the holiday being displayed throughout and it is adorable. The varies types of bunnies with different hair and faces are so fun. If you're decorating for Easter she has adorable pieces to set the holiday mood in your home and centerpieces for your dining table. The furniture is gorgeous, priced well, versatile and perfect for many home decor styles. You'll also find colorful rugs, amazing lamps, bowls, blanket chests, wardrobes, ceramic pieces, glassware, wreaths, phenomenal artifical floral arrangements in all colors and would work in so many places in a home. So many things that it's impossible to mention it all. The owner was very friendly, answered questions, allowed us to browse freely and at our pace. As I mentioned before she allowed my friend to sit on the furniture when she couldn't walk any further which was so kind of her. She has an Open House this week so try to attend if you're free. I posted the Open House Flyer under the Tips button or checkout her Facebook site. Wonderful shop and well worth the 45 minute drive from the Westside of Indy. Easy street parking available in front of the building.

The shop is very clean and, unlike many stores of this nature, you can walk around without fear of creating a domino-effect of falling knick-knacks. I saw a really interesting German bicycle here recently - it was from the early 1970s and was made in West German, which I thought was neat. The shop owner was very knowledgeable about the bike and was able to tell me a little history on it. If you're strolling down Main Street and are doing some shopping or have some time on your hands, Main Street Mercantile is a great place to have a look-see.

The people who run this store have been doing it over 30 years. They are good people…read more You aren't in business for 30+ years for "cheating" people or being "rude". I'm afraid to say that being a retail business is hard, and sometimes people get worn out from it. That said this is a solid shop, and there is a lot of inventory that changes ALL THE TIME ! I know I've been there and bought stuff for 25 years!). The owner operators have hearts of gold, but it's hard to show it every day for 30+ years! People love the quirks of the "TV show" people, but when they encounter real people... run to the internet and "trash them". Be kind... it's a store that is unlike any other for 200 miles or more. They support the kids of this community in many ways for many years, sure they may have pissed a few people off, but like I said, they have hearts of gold and more often than not are kind and helpful. Running retail for 30 years isn't easy.

There are gifts for all price levels, so just pop in and see what you can find. When I visited, I went with a local who said that she buys gifts for her family from Artists' Own, and requests that people buy her gifts from this shop. What a way to shop local!
