I am somewhat particular about the way I (don't) like to shop. Grocery shopping is left to someone…read moreelse as often as possible, I find very little pleasure in going from store to store just browsing to see if I can find something to buy, and I typically wrinkle my nose when I end up paying retail for an item second-guessing whether it could be found at a discount somewhere else. More often than not, I shop when I need something. And admittedly, I frequently shop online for convenience and cost-comparison purposes. Unless I am looking for something special... I relish in finding that special little something for friends and family, that item they didn't even know existed that will bring a smile or a warm fuzzy feeling or a hearty laugh. Artifactory, now sharing a roof with Sewciety (perfect match), is such a shop. Only a handful of shops *spark joy* the moment I think of them and this one tops my list! Artifactory has a truly unique selection of very reasonably priced items I am unlikely to find anywhere else and the owners make you feel extra-special because they remember the little details, your likes and dislikes. They have a beautifully curated collection--a blend of local and non-local items--old and new, practical and quirky, unique and creative. My spirits are lifted when I walk through the door. I feel a bit like a I did as a child looking through a favorite relative's hope chest or exploring all of the treasures in my grandmother's home imagining what my home would look like when I got big. Nostalgia and possibilities comingle. And every time my gaze rests on an item I acquired at Artifactory - that vintage map framed on the wall, the 1937 yearbook from the school down the street from my home, my "protest socks" my husband bought me for certain civic matters, or the locally made jellies and sauces that taste so amazing, I am grateful for this little treasure in Downtown Norman. Go visit them and see what treasure you might find! And now in their new location,

There are gifts for every age that will delight, because these fabulous finds cannot be located anywhere else close to Norman. One of the very best things about Artifactory is the owner, Amy. She greets you with a warm welcome, like family, and does her best to find exactly what you're looking for. Great place to shop in Norman!

It's so important to shop local and this is a shop that should be on everyone's radar! My favorite items were the socks! The shop owner Londel was such a wonderful man to talk to. So many things in his shop are made by people which I loved even more. He has such a positive and fun personality and is a delight to anyone who crosses paths with him. If you are wondering if you should visit this store, this is your sign to do so! I will definitely be returning.

I love a good antique store. They bring back childhood memories. This is a very large store that…read moreyou will really spend some time looking around. It has almost everything you're looking for and of course things you aren't , but maybe find something interesting to take home. They also sell some new items like local honey and Amish preservers and salsas , etc on a big display. I bought a beer mug from Germany for $5.00 . I was stationed at Ramstein Air Force Base , West Germany in the late 80's and the local beer we drank was called Parkbrau. Well they still make it , but they shortened the name to Park Beer and they make 13 different kinds now. When I was there they only made 5. I've got some Parkbrau steins and a boot so this makes a good addition. A friend of mine goes to Germany every year and brings me back a Park Beer each time. I also saw a McDonald's coloring calendar that I had in 1978 as a kid. It was cool to see one and it was intact and not colored ! At the bottom of each month was a coupon for different items. Hard to believe no one used the coupons or colored in it. Large selection of albums also. I saw a Beatles album by sister had passed on to me when I was a kid , but unfortunately I don't have anymore. It was Beatles '65. I also saw many McDonald's glasses and such that we all used to collect and use back then. They have so many sections and everything is pretty well organized and displayed. Some antique stores are messy and you can't find anything with all the clutter. I will definitely be back and I recommend you checking this place out.

We found primo parking and stepped into a bustling boutique full of lovely gifts, clothing for babies and little ones and women's clothing, shoes and accessories. A lot of the stuff is just not exactly my style - like the large selection of Brighton - a trend that seems to hang on pretty hard in central Oklahoma, same for all the Miss Me. But I was pleased to see a huge selection of Tom's shoes, fun and trendy dresses, blouses and skirts, as well as pajamas, robes, and lots of jewelry that I would wear. A lovely woman helped us as we tried to track down Tom's for me to wear under my wedding dress. Everyone in the shop was the right blend of helpful without even a hint of pushiness. They keep track of what it is you're looking for and place a courtesy call when your order comes in. If we had more time, I'm sure I would have done a lot more damage, but as it happened, I found a skirt on sale, a great summer dress and got my name on the list for their next Tom's order. I'll definitely be back. Ladies of Yelp, check it out on your next Yukon jaunt.
